If you are just joining us today, please see ARCHIVES so you can review the previous Halachos on this and other topics.
1) A solid that is large enough to be distinctly recognizable when submerged in a liquid, according to many Poskim, is not considered to be "in a mixture" and thus the unwanted liquid may be removed or poured off in order to get to the solid.
Some examples of this: a) A pot of hard boiled eggs in water, where the water may be spilled out in order to reach the eggs. b) A jar of pickles in brine, where the pickle juice may be spilled out in order to reach the pickles. c) A pitcher of water that contains slices of lemon may be poured even if the spout of the pitcher will prevent the lemons from leaving the pitcher. (Some Poskim are stringent even in the aforementioned cases and a Rav should be consulted for Halacha L'ma'aseh. See K'tzos HaShulchan 125:14 and Shu"t Az Nidberu Vol. 4 Siman 21)
2) A large quantity of olives (or similar small item) that are submerged in a pitcher of water is considered to be "in a mixture" and thus the water may not be poured off in order to get to the olives.
Likewise, a slotted spoon may not be used to retrieve the olives from within the water, and surely a sieve may not be used to do this.
A single olive, however, that is in a pitcher of liquid is not considered "in a mixture" and may be removed even with a utensil and even if not being eaten immediately.

QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER
Reader Submitted Questions of interest on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the Halacha For Today website.
Although the answers I give to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.

Reader's Question:
If someone said Al Hamichya [after eating bread] in place of bentching should he still bentch or was he Yotzai with Al Hamichya?
Answer:
He should still Bentch, as even if M'Doraysa he may have satisfied his obligation, M'Drabanan he has not. Furthermore, there is a requirement to mention "Bris and Torah" in Bentching, and those are missing in Al HaMichya. See Shulchan Aruch Siman 187:3. and Sha'ar Hatziyun Siman 168:71 See also Shu"t Az Nidberu Vol. 5 Siman 31.

Chizuk For Today:
"Fear of death occurs only when a person has only one world, but many gods. However, when the reverse is true, and a person has only one G-d and two worlds, death is not that frightening.".
