Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all that

Hello to you all in this new year. Hope you had a merry and happy holidays. We are back from our trip, recovered from our various travel induced ailments and packed away the decorations. A full recap on Nepal is coming, but I couldn't resist snapping a photo of this that Matthew lugged home today, lugged being the operative word.

We get our olive oil from a good work friend of Matthew's, Risq, whose family has an olive farm in Nablus in Palestine. It's delicious oil: fruity, peppery, rich, unctuous, and a luminescent green. We've been getting it in litre bottles for the past year, but given the quantities we buy, Risq decided to give us the bumper 18L size. Good grief. It will have to be a two man job to get it decanted into a bottle that you can actually use!
