If you who live in the midst of sacred Umbrian olive groves find it to be true, Mr. Henry feels he can forego taste testing more of the stuff coming from California and New Zealand, all of which is far more expensive than the utterly delicious Pugliese, and all of which so far has fallen short in his taste estimation.

A few cherry tomatoes added the last moments. It's the Pugliese oil of course that raises this to paradisaical. I buy 5 liter tins to drag home, but they are only 40 euro in Puglia.

Likewise Mr. Henry has gained weight. He blames Barack once again because every evening Mr. & Mrs. Henry watch what the President did today. The maddening experience of witnessing the world fall apart must be accompanied by goat cheese, Eli's olive rosemary crisps, and a bottle of wine.

I only drink or eat fattening food when someone else pays for it. Unfortunately, I'm going through a spate of personal popularity and have gained five pounds!
