Everyone Needs a Hobby

I keep a jar of garlic-stuffed olives readily accessible on a shelf in my refrigerator. Before stowing them in the fridge, I empty out the liquid and replace it with vermouth. And whenever I want a martini, I toss a few vermouth-soaked olives in the bottom of a glass (which has been kept in the freezer) and pour chilled vodka over them. Starting Friday, October 10, you’ll be able to check out my guest post on Eating Rules. Andrew Wilder, who created the site, asked me to take his “October Unprocessed Pledge” and we had a series of negotiations about it. The one thing I told him I couldn’t give up were these olives. He assured me that would be ok.
