RE: Making olives - my favorite recipe.

in Plant Power (Vegan)2 years ago (edited)

You wait at least 3-4 months and then they are ready.

Hahaha..., you have to be very patient. I would have forgotten about these bottles after so long. Just kidding. I think the result is worth the wait, in fact, I'm sure it is because I have every confidence in you!

"Fontina"..., very cute your friend @sjarvie5 when she calls you by your name! I really want to ask you, is Fotini a name taken from so effervescent Greek mythology? Even in Romania, there are many who have names from your mythology, especially girls (I knew Cassandra, Clytemnestra, Aphrodite, Ariadne...), fewer men, I don't know any Achilles or Ulysses. I've heard of an Agamemnon...

It was a joy to read your blog. I love olive trees but I remember hating olives as a child, hahaha. I am, like others who express themselves here, an admirer of your photographs and I think we are a bit similar in the way we photograph, I'll ask you to tell me if that is so. I think we photograph more guided by our heart and don't have much technical knowledge of photography, we let intuition and who knows what images we have seen before choosing the subject and the way we want to show it. Welcome back!

Thank you so much @bluemoon!

Actually, my name is just an adjective that means bright, luminous. It comes from "fos" which means light. No great mythical history behind it :)
Agamemnon? Really??? I have only met one at school, not very common. But we as well have many names like that, it's a trend, and less like Nick, John, Mary which will become rare and maybe come back as a new trend in a few decades :)

I don't think I hated olives as a kid, but I definitely didn't like them at all, haha!

I think we are similar in a way, yes. I think we focus more on the story and less on the form, as formalist @fotostef often tells me :)

I'm afraid of the "formalist" @fotostef's opinion!
How beautiful, it comes from the light! Well, it has something to do with photography...
In Romanian, it is a girl's name "Luminita" which means a smaller light or a child of light. Light is called "lumina".
I hope your friend @sjarvie5 didn't get upset with me because I told her she got your name wrong, I've noticed that before. It's none of my business, of course, but I only did it with the intention of being helpful.

Oh what a friend I am. calling you Fontina instead of Fontini!

No, no, no..., without the first "n", just Fotini! It's an unusual name, of course. Please forgive me for making this small correction on behalf of Fotini, but I think she wouldn't have done it and I don't want to let you make a mistake. Thank you!

Oh my goodness. I even went to her post and looked and still mispelled it so sorry Fotini!!

Oh, come on Sara, no big deal :)
As @bluemoon says, it is indeed a rather unusual name and to be honest most people (friends included 🥰) that are not Greek mispell it. I don't know why! But I always find it cute!
Thank you @bluemoon for mentioning it, truth is that I am so used to Fontina, Fontini, Fotoni and many more that they look normal to me :)

Thank you so much @bluemoon!
