Sorry... lye is poison. Not going to put that in my body, no matter how many centuries people have been doing it.A bit harsh Catherine, the Mediterranean peoples have eaten them for centuries surely and they have one of the best diets.

They’ve got lots of salt too, so it’s probably for the best, health wise, not to eat them. For me, anyway. I’m still shocked that lye is used. Such a horrible, toxic chemical. That’s why I don’t use “regular” soap.Well, they get washed and washed so that the lye is removed, so I think they’re okay to eat.
They’re amazing aren’t they? I wonder why they need to be so tall with some sort of thing for a pulley.View attachment 157058
Fish Huts Hastings - I was reminded of these after looking at camperbc's latest post. These are the old fishermen's huts at Hastings UK ( I mean the huts are old not the fisherman ) Last posted in b/w but hey I've looked again !
Oooo... I'd love to see the inside! Are they stacked on top of each other... they seem awfully tall. But then the bottom and middle sections wouldn't have a slanted roof if you took the 3 sections apart.View attachment 157058

Nice!! One of my dream homes is a tree house... (but with a roof, of course )We have miles and miles of hiking trails outside our door since we live adjacent to a preserved wilderness area and the Santa Fe National Forest. I figured I’d seen about everything in the immediate area, but look what I found today down in an arroyo a mile or so from our house.

Telegraph - something I take pictures of quite often, this was from this morning though.
Well, you don’t have to use lye. We are going to try and use a salt brine. Just a couple of jars as a test.Sorry... lye is poison. Not going to put that in my body, no matter how many centuries people have been doing it.

Brilliant....
That’s good to know... but I can see it being difficult to determine how the olives have been cured (especially those in the salad bar area of grocery stores.*)
*Well, if we ever have salad bars again.....
