Quite pleased with myself. I was watching telly earlier and felt peckish so I got a tub of Morrison's marinated olives from the fridge. When I ate the first one, I immediately thought 'oregano, parsley and thyme'; I looked at the ingredients and, hey presto, I was right.
Not content with getting the herbs right, I also decided the olives would probably go well with the Waitrose Dry Fino I had in the fridge. I poured myself a glass and, to my surprise, I was right again - a perfect match.
I'm not usually good at picking out individual ingredients nor am I particularly good at matching drinks to food but I was on a roll tonight.
It's a shame You Bet finished years ago, you could have gone on that.
