I can't believe how many people comment on my blog that the olive oil has too heavy of a flavour and would overpower the cake.

But can you imagine having Julia Child as a mentor and then along the way working with Roger Verge? Now that's dancing with the stars. I was a little surprised about the gay part. I hadn't heard that, but it's so nice that they have 4 sons that they can share. I also admire what she's doing for charity.
