I developed this recipe while working at a restaurant. We had an abundance of olives that were left over after using the juice to make Dirty Martinis and I wanted to make use of them and this is what I came up with."

My Grandmother taught me to cook as soon as I was tall enough to reach the counter on a stool. I have worked in restaurants off and on my whole life. I just recently "retired" after 10 years with a very nice local restaurant and now I work in property management.I have been married for 25 years and I have a 14 year old son. Cooking will always be my passion and I really enjoy this site. The recipes here are vast and varried and I have enjoyed everything I have tried thus far. <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
