Gross

As some of you may know, I am not an adventurous eater. There are a few reasons for this that I won't really get into here, but suffice it to say, eating with me can be an adventure in repetition. I like the same things over and over again. Also, I'm a cowardly cook. I hate trying a new recipe because I'm convinced I'll screw it up. I don't really have a lengthy history of ruining recipes, but my brain has decided I'm a hazard in the kitchen, so it's tough for me to break out of my rut. When I do, though, you can be sure I'll take to twitter to ask questions about EVERY step of the recipe. I like to have full clarity. It's a quirk.

So, when they cook dishes on the daytime talk shows, I usually kind of ignore it. Chances are, it won't be something I'm interested in. And if I had seen this dish being prepared, I probably would have actually changed the channel. There is no faster way to lose me than to put olives in a dish. Any kind of olives. Even these.

For the record, I googled geen olives to see if anything came up, and I got the "showing results for green olives" thing from google, after which you can almost hear it snickering at you. I sometimes wonder if google worries about me sometimes, with all the idiotic stuff I google for the blog. But then I figure it's probably just happy to be doing its job, right? A searched google is a happy google. Or something.
