i sliced the tomatoes into quarters...
except for the currants...
drizzled olive oil over...
sprinkled with kosher salt...
and served that with the chicken and veggies.

my niece LOVED the zucchini...
so i'll send some home with her when she goes.

olives...

my little olive tree is growing every day.

i'm not quite sure what i'll do with the olives.
but i'd like to try curing them.
i found a recipe at about.com...
that looks pretty easy.

i'd love to make olive oil...
but i don't have...
and don't plan to purchase...
the industrial-strength equipment needed for that task.

these are about pea-sized.

sage...

today...
i cut some herbs...
and took them into the office.

since my sage plant is the largest...
it represented half of the herbs.

the other herbs that i cut were...
rosemary...
oregano...
and basil.

since all of my co-workers weren't in today...
i'll take in more in a couple of weeks.

extra benefit...
the wonderful aroma in my car and office.
