Enjoy!

Yummy! Forwarding it to The Gent right now. Although, I think I MAY EVEN be able to do this one. :)
For some reason I’ve had a real craving for olives, probably because there hard to find in Central America, but all this recipe does is cement how much I want them now! haha Looks great, and very delicious :)
