I'll tell ya, why dinner is late!
It's because of a can opener!
It's probably why, we have late suppers!
Mind you, it's only 7:30 pm...
and I could have grilled this, flank steak an hour ago...
but, and I say But!
I couldn't open a can of Olives!
I couldn't open anything with my can opener!
If there are no black olives to eat with the flank steak...
Well, no one eats!
Which, brings me to, # 1!
# 1, refers to my first Grandson.
Wesley!
His Mom, used to be # 1...Ha!
(Summer Photo)
Wesley, likes, black olives! He always has.
Maybe it was because I'd put the olives on my fingers...!
When he was little!
Always, teaching bad habits!
You could open a can of them, and he'd have them
eaten in a flash...don't count on adding them to your condiment plate!
Just saying!
My Can opener wouldn't cut tonight!
I am not, advertising California Olives, though they are the best in
my opinion.
(I'd love to get a case of them)!
I, was cursing... how did they open cans in the 1800s?
I remember my husband showing me a can opener
he was issued in the army...Gawd how primitive...like using a knife and a hammer!
He still has it, but it would take a day and 1/2 for him to find it.
Really, I can use a regular can opener... and I did!
and don't ya think it looks like a star?
Well, kinda'!
but you can't tell by my photos!
I am Starving!
..I was going to slice this flank steak
and wrap it in a corn tortilla with cheese and
onions and peppers...?
Looks like I only have 5 tortillas left!
Some one isn't getting seconds tonight!
But I will!
Because I'm the cook!
yum!!! but no guacamole!!!
sliced avocado, lime, salt and pepper...and don't open that jar of hot peppers!!!

Thank you Elizabeth, got a new can opener the next day, but it would be a good idea to, just use photos and let the reader make up their own story.
I'm glad to see in the comments' section that you went out and got yourself a new can opener!
Did someone mention Margaritas???
for me that would finish this off. I love black olives and Mexican food. Looks like an enticing spread ... Yum!
Love your blog ... I'll be back!
and that's not a threat, hahaha!
Am sure the meal was Enjoyed by all.
