[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 741320, member: 23349"] I’m somewhat embarrassed to answer this one. :p I have quite a collection at the moment! I pick up at least a couple whenever we’re in the city. My shop sells different sizes, from little tasters for $5 to the half liter. I don’t use the olive oil for standard everyday cooking - I keep a big bottle of the grocery store stuff for that. But I always keep a large bottle of a good basic olive oil (varies seasonally) and a couple smaller bottles of my favorite flavored ones for dressings and marinades. I really like the Persian lime and there is an herb one also - Tuscan herb maybe? The gremalata (sp?) is a good one too. Then I always keep a big bottle of basic balsamic and a few smaller flavored bottles. Sicilian lemon, raspberry, Neapolitan herbs, and honey ginger are staples. Others I may pickup,in the little bottles for a specific recipe or just for fun. The thing I love is you can pair them - eg tuscan herb oil with lemon vinegar, he Persian lime and the honey ginger - and you have a quick and easy dressing or marinade - just shake it up. You can add other ingredients if you want to, but it really doesn’t need them. Weeknights I’ll shake one up, pour it over the fish, toss it into a salad while the fish cooks, and voila in ten minutes there’s dinner. Tired, I’m so jealous of all your steps! Are you retired? I’m trying to figure out how I can make this happen. I freelance, so I have some flexibility, but the bottom line is my work keeps me chained to my desk for 7-8 hours a day at least. Longer if I’ve got a big project I’m working on. I make myself get up for breaks but they don’t add up to much. I get up at 5:30 to get my cardio and yoga or strength training in before I start but working from home - in a ranch style house - I don’t get much movement in the rest of the day. Even the laundry is right off the kitchen. My exercise time is for music or podcasts. I hate TV also. But I’ve got my favorite music or an engrossing podcast I’m never bored, even on the bike or elliptical. This thread is inspiring me also! Edit: duh you are not retired - you are providing care for your disabled son. Silly of me - I forgot for a moment there. [/QUOTE]
