Then again, I don't think I need a lot of olives.  These will be served
with dessert, as per period practice (with cheese, preserves, nuts,
and dried fruit).  Everyone should be pretty full by then, and even
the olive-lovers shouldn't want to do more than nibble.

January.  I'm still in the menu-planning/recipe-testing phase.  I'll
keep your kind offer in mind, but I would hope that in the intervening
6 months I can find a local source.
