Oh, YA! Now your talkin. . . (and for Bread, I'll take the SF Sourdough French bread. . . )
As a native San Franciscan after school I would take 3 buses from All Hallows school to Fisherman's Wharf and buy a fresh made sour dough loaf...find a people watching spot... open my Sky King lunch box taking out either butter (put in frozen so it was cold later.) .or mayo depending on how I felt that day...until you brought up that subject I had forgotten...thanks for the memory...
Maggie, I was born and raised here in West County Contra Costa. I live within 5 miles of every house/home I have lived in. . . Spent time in Upstate NY (White Plain's area), Orlando, Fl. and with living adjacent to the bay in the SF Bay . . . I can't see ever leaving. Gotta Love the Sourdough, only found here. I could never live in SF, but, I could never leave the north bay area. Thank you for your reflection/memory of the area...?As a native San Franciscan after school I would take 3 buses from All Hallows school to Fisherman's Wharf and buy a fresh made sour dough loaf...find a people watching spot... open my Sky King lunch box taking out either butter (put in frozen so it was cold later.) .or mayo depending on how I felt that day...until you brought up that subject I had forgotten...thanks for the memory...
I like cottage cheese, avocado with a bunch of black olives on top

Yum, another Trifecta. . .
He'll be back cause we are irresistible ???
omg! We musta been separated at birth!!!
Well... I keep them hidden in my house ? cause they won't last long otherwise. I especially love the ones coated in oil. I will lick the fork, spoon and my fingers for every drop so NO the two of you are not alone. My family and I even drink the water from the black olive can.
I'm not an olive fan - too oily for me.
you are freakin gagging me...a buncha years ago when my brother still liked me... our group headed from San Francisco to Northern California to camp on property we owned then...it was in the days before air conditioning...there was 5 or 6 car loads of us from the Bay area headed up I-5 in 110 degree heat...all windows down, kids and dogs and my brother seemed to have a problem going over 60 and needed to stop continually...we were livid when he pulled of the road in Corning...the olive capitol of the world....and while he takes the next 30 minutes picking out a selection of olives while we all melted in the heat...I think about that every damn time I go past there to see my sis...
I lick my fingers after oiling my homemade pizza dough and pans. I can't help myself but it does have to be the extra virgin or nothing.
Well... I hope you confiscated some of those black beauties when he wasn't looking ? seems to me youall earned it...
And I'm wondering if anyone here on TFO actually gets to eat a ripe olive right off the tree? Like a ripe berry ? I think I remember the trees growing in California.
Oh, NO! "Unprocessed" Olives off the tree are Nasty! VERY bitter, Green ones the most. . . Black ones are still bitter, just not so much. They need to be "Brine'd" to make them TASTY!
Fresh avocado is another thing on my best favorite food list along with a large curd cottage cheese... yum (interesting ideas for breakfast) maybe some pineapple on the side. I need to get myself interested in some kind of toast or bread also. I haven't been able to find a good one yet unless I make it myself. And I'm too tired. Brownberry used to make a delicious nut bread but all those old breads aren't available anymore.?
Interesting. I thought it was just me or the tree when I tried them, when I was in California. Well... I'm so glad someone came up with a way to make them irresistible on or in everything. They are genius chefs
You might try the local Farmers Market. There is a local Market here that has a baker who has set up shop with some unique ?Breads. You might look into that avenue.. . .
