I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Carl, this is a very nice blend for the olives. I like the tones and texture very much. Great looking pattern.

Thanks gentlemen. That's what I did Ray. A whole row. Can't have enough little olives in the box. I really tried to keep to a more drab color to the body with a faint olive. The mix is only about 10-20% olive hare.

Extra nice, Carl.
