 Dining Out | Olive Oyl Cantina   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Leaving aside the question of why Olive Oyl’s menu has no spinach for Popeye or burgers for Wimpy, the situation here is that Marc Kadish — of the neighboring Sunset Grill and Tap and Big City — got hold of this restaurant space, where he does not have a liquor license.
Considering that my visits to Olive Oyl were in August and September, the tomatoes on the Capri Island ($7.50) and " Not a ‘Wimpy’ House " ($3.95) salads weren’t stunning.
As I walked to Olive Oyl one night, I passed people lined up for Carlo’s (a fine but no longer cheap Italian café), while Rangoli (a rather intriguing South Indian restaurant) was empty, and there were still seats at Pho Pasteur (my first choice anytime, if I were paying).

It is "Olive" because Olive (and here I am not speaking about the character who is Popeye's girlfriend, but about the name Olive as it applies to my alter ego) has come to represent the parts of myself that I hope to cultivate more.
Olive is kind and thoughtful, and she does not need to yell or lose her temper in order to stand up for herself.
And while Amanda worries about her career, about flattening her stomach, about whether or not she wants to have children and at what age, 29 or 35, she should begin, Olive trusts in the divine order of things and knows that every moment is cause for celebration.

A compound in extra virgin olive oil, called oleocanthal, was found to have anti-inflammatory action comparable to ibuprofen.
Keep in mind that the amounts of oleocanthal in olive oil are more diluted compared to the medication, therefore you would need an equivalent of about a cup of olive oil to get the same pain-relieving effects of a standard dose of ibuprofen.
Olive oil actually may help us to absorb the beta carotene in spinach and also the fat soluble nutrient lutein, which helps protect the eyes.

 Screen test: Scott Rothkopf on Jeff Koons's Olive Oyl ArtForum - Find Articles
Bodies are removed from undergarments that perfectly hold their shape; silhouette-like contours razor through multiple pictorial layers, as if possessed with X-ray vision; orphaned scraps of images re-emerge repeatedly across the picture's surface at exactly the points they would occupy were the original image left intact.
This is precisely the interpretive problem that I experienced when looking at a group of mysterious splotches--olive green, appropriately enough--nestled at the bottom of Koons's towering, nine-foot-tall canvas Olive Oyl, 2003.
If isolated one at a time, the constituent layers of a painting like Olive Oyl reveal not only their original source imagery but also their relative positions within the picture's intricate web.
