This weekend we visited Stillwater, Minnesota, a town once known for lumber milling located on the St. Croix River. The town, no longer a central point for milling and shipping lumber, retains the charm of yesteryear as its skyline is dotted with the beautiful Victorian mansions that were former residences of America’s lumber barons. The town now offers many shops and restaurants in a scenic setting and is perfect for browsing on a fall day. We happened into a shop called Stillwater Olive Oil Company, a lovely shop that sells many, many varieties of olive oil and vinegar. The shop is visually striking with its rows of containers. We, of course, had fun tasting all the varieties. My favorite was a butter-flavored olive oil—I prefer the taste of butter to olive oil, but understand that the health merits of olive oil are so beneficial. Learn how to make your own butter flavored olive oil.
The weekend of Thanksgiving we are invited to a dessert potluck party—I think that an olive oil cake would be a nice change of pace for dessert. I am going to make and use butter flavored olive oil.
