Gonna find out Tuesday. They shipped same day I ordered and it's in Tampa as of 6:31 pm tonight. That was fast!

I know no one really cares, but my ginger tea had olive oil chips in it this morning. Sigh.

And after 3 emails I still haven't heard anything from the Georgia farm.

FYI....

Olive oil, and other vegetable oils, have various natural fatty acids in them. Virgin grades straight out of the seeds or fruit might show this even at normal room temperature as a milky look.

These fatty acids melt / solubilize at various temperatures. The milky oils if heated up will turn clear. There is a test where this point is checked and it is called cloud point.

Because some people think there is something wrong if they see this, manufacturers think it is best to remove these fatty acids. It stops phone calls and some customers returning stock.

So they chill the oil down to about 5C degrees to solidify these and filter the oil. This process is called ‘winterizing'. As in ‘in winter it will not get cloudy’. It shuts some people up, stops the phone calls and everybody is happy.

Except the people that now know that they no longer have the real pure ‘as nature made it' oil.

Reminds me of restaurant customers that would return wine due to sediment.

It's quiet around here, FF too.

My good friend that's an OSU fan that really gets on my nerves says he would really hate losing Washington but, and I quote "LOL, we ain't losing him to you LOL". So now I hope we get him.

Thought we'd have heard something by now. I was hoping to put this behind me and move on.

Sciabica sent a notice my olive oil will be here today between 2:15-6:15, that's like super fast.

Can't decide which are the worse. In my experience, the gator fans are the worst because they're so vocal, but most don't have a clue. Most of the ones I know that run their mouth couldn't tell you who the QB is or what conference they play in.

In my experience, the OSU run their mouth but they at least know their football.

Hate'em both.

Just saw the National Anthem performance from last night. I like Eric Church, never heard of the chica. Hard no for me even if I don't mind a different version from the original, which I do mind, but I'll give it a chance.

I thought it was terrible. Give me someone with a good voice and sing it like it's supposed to be sang.

My favorite is still the Cactus Cuties. Gives me chills.
