This sounds like the previously mentioned chicken recipe, except instead of chopped black olives, they were pimento stuffed green olives.

Yummy stuff
My aunt is doing well, she fell asleep during the surgery that was done under a local anesthetic, and tonight she ate and enjoyed her dinner and that’s a really good sign. She’s been in so much pain even food hasn’t tasted good, her finishing her dinner is a good thing. My cousins, her sons, were both there all day today. I’ve talked to her youngest son twice today for updates (thank you for calling! That means a lot to me) and hopefully I’ll see him one more time before he leaves at the end of the week.

And finally a Quiz. I’ll post the answers the next time I post something 
A quiz for people who know everything! I found out in a hurry that I didn’t. These are not trick questions. They are straight questions with straight answers
1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.
2.. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?
3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?
4.. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?
5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn’t been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?
6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters ‘ dw’ and they are all common words. Name two of them.
