This weeks 'establishment' is - Copperopolis Olive Oil Company.
I know, I know, you are thinking wait, is the Copperopolis Olive Oil Company now serving food? Well the answer is 'no'. As you know by now I will utilize every excuse in the book to dine out...I LOVE other peoples cooking (well, most of the time, plus it almost always means they do the dishes) but seriously, here in Copper aka the surface of the sun, it was too darn hot to even dine out if I had wanted to...so home is where this dining experience unfolded.
As the heat becomes more and more oppressive and I become more and more unwilling to stand infront of a stove much less a bbq, I utilize every mother's skill and adapt to the situation....as my youngest son keeps telling me, "work smarter, not harder mom." So employing this line of thinking, I rifle through my cupboards and strike gold! A plethora of flavored olive oils courtesy of my many visits to the Copperopolis Olive Oil Company. Think, think, think...olive oil and .....hmmm.
Under the guise of staring at the contents of my refrigerator presumably planning the evening meal, while in reality just trying to cool down while I thought, I spied a few things that when put together could actually pass as a meal. A red onion, a half can of olives, a tomato, some hard boiled eggs and some feta cheese. Just be patient here...I'm getting to the yummy part. Chop all that stuff up, quickly boil some pasta, rinse with cold water, drain and mix with all the previous items found in the fridge.
