Crispy Crostini for Toppings

Thin baguette slices turn golden and crunchy in minutes, topped with garlic-rubbed olive oil that soaks into every edge. These work as a vehicle for dips, spreads, or toppings, or stand alone with just salt and cracked pepper.

My grandmother had arrived, parked wrong, rain pouring down, one suitcase, one bruised eye.

My first teenage year, a woman’s broken heart.

The olive tree in the back of my home guarded my hound’s home, ten puppies of different breeds. It gave nothing but fresh shade.

Leaves fell, shaken, the puppies were adopted away.

I kept her emerald earring and a lot of remembrance.

The tree gave me olives. So I left, saw the films, and took the planes.

My grandmother took a belt. "Mother fucker, you’ll behave."

Sand in the air and the gentle terral shade. Homeless, sleepless, wrong reservation dates.

At the end of the night, an open bar, under the first sun, suitcase in hand.

It had taken me back home, near the sand and San Pedro, near the sea and the moon.

Once it stopped giving, my dad trimmed the tree, ready to throw out the sticks.

But I knew, with or without olives, it could hold me tight.

Diamond Press, muscles sore, drop by drop, a bottle came.

Olive oil is sweet. It softens my hair, heals my gut when I am abroad, far from home.

Under the sun, it has warmed my heart, penetrating a soft bed of clouds until it touched the crust.

And the whole world is new, and the birds sing in my life.

And when it touches tomato—oh my!

Apple: Bathed in oil with a subtle touch of pepper on the inside. I guess this is a pepper-stuffed olive, which is pretty common to eat in my country. The colours are spot-on and so is the shading. It looks like it would taste like a real olive. Even though it’s only one unit, Off to a good start. 8/10 I should try these more often.

Google: I like the presentation because it reminds me of olive trees. My country produces a lot of olive oil (guess which one, you already know it if you are my fan) the shading is simple, but also adds to the cuteness of this emoji. 8/10 These look soft

Samsung: An upgraded version of the Google emoji. I love the colors and how it looks cartoonish and also realistic. I would eat these if they were real. 9/10 they look a bit like grapes.

Microsoft: The red hurts my eyes. This looks some disgrace. The colors are the reason this looks like it could taste awfully. 0/10 I’m sorry but no way

WhatsApp: Nice shading and reflection on the olives as they look cleanly drawn and detailed. It looks like an LG emoji. Curious, right? I like how there are 2 units. 8/10 They lack a bit of flavor

Twitter: Genious take on the design of this emoji! I like the gleam of the olives and they look pleasantly cute. 7/10 I don’t think it’s perfect though.

Facebook. This represents an olive or may it be an hybrid between a pear and an olive? I don’t know. I love the details. Very curious emoji. 9/10 looks sweet.

Twitter emoji stickers: 100000/10 The designer of their emojis deserves a big award.

Joypixels: the texture of this emoji resembles real life olives because of the dots in the skin. I guess I think the pepper looks off because it looks like it is covered in a red paint rather than a piece of pepper. Don’t get me wrong, this is a little confusing to read. I hope you understand what I tried to say. 5/10 the color is highly recommended tho.

TossFace: The hole is really wide. It lacks in expressiveness, does not convey anything. Don’t recommend, it’s like a 1-dollar version of the joypixels example. 1/10

Openmoji: This is a misshapen avocado. 0/10

Emojipedia: Unsettlingly detailed texture and unblended airbrush some kind of pillow-shading on this olive. Suffers from oddly placed highlights that make it look like a green vessel instead of an olive. Not in a good condition, in the inside, there would be nothing. Looks like a toxic waste. Would taste like sweaty T-shirt That was worn 3 days in a row. No defined shape that it looks flat, like a sheet of paper. 2/10

Thank you!💗
