Anchovy Stuffed Olives

DRUNK POST ALERT!!!!!!!!


I didn't bother posting a week or so ago when I discovered that the OL had picked up a jar of blue cheese stuffed olives from Trader Joes. I must admit that was a mistake, cuz now I have to tell the back story to this post while intoxicated.

So I find this jar of olives, and it immediately reminds me of NAB 2006. (V4 has found a video on YouTube that has the peanuts characters dancing to Outkast's Hey Ya') NAB 2006 was a lot of hard work followed by a lot of hard drinking.

On this particular night, TB and I were in the company of a few friends at the lake show at the Wynn Hotel and Casino. I was drinking my usual Jack rocks, and TB was drinking Ketel One martinis with three olives(yes, the number three is important when drinking martinis in Vegas). Well at some point, the bar ran out of their usual olives, and decided to substitute blue cheese stuffed olives. TB made the mistake of announcing to the whole table that the olives were blue cheese stuffed, and the rest as they say is history. We proceeded to pilfer olives from TB's drink... Damn they were good!

back to the near future, after finding the blue cheese stuffed olives in the grocery bag, I declared that we were gonna have martinis that night. So later that afternoon, we head to BevMo to procure the necessary martini shit, usually, I would say accoutrements, but shit I am fucked up right now. $172 later we leave BevMo with a couple of Martini glasses, a handle of Ketel One, the OL's favorite, two packages of Martini picks, my choice, and hers, another jar of olives, and assorted other shit. Long story made short, $172 and change later, we have martini fixins!!! Three hours later, and 3 or drinks later, we are debating whether vermouth is really necessary.

So to get back to tonight, it would appear that during my absence this past weekend, the OL decides to go on a road trip to The Brentwood Olive Oil Company.

The OL shows me the items she procured from the BOO. She picked up lemon infused olive oil, Jalapeno infused olive oil, and anchovy Stuffed olives. Well, I am sure you know exactly what happens when I see these olives. Just a hint, I happen to love anchovies, and they taste really good when they have soaked for a few minutes in a well prepared martini.

Too much typing. Time to drink more!
