Yvo – It was great! We’ve actually had two nights, so far.

nina – I’ll be posting an announcement with more info sometime in the next few days. Just check back and it will be up soon. And please do enter! Wow, brining your own olives, that sounds amazing.

I have found your blog only today, via Ms Adventures in Italy and am so glad I did. I see you are the next host for DMBLGIT. Can you please give me more info, because Maryann from Finding la dolce vita suggested that I enter.

I love the little servings of soup and the olive cookies look divine. I brined my own olives last year and have plenty to use for this recipe.

Kitt – Give it a try!

Bron – Let me know how you like them! And oh, I’m jealous of your warmth all winter here.

brilynn – Jeffrey Steingarten says that you can get over nearly any food aversion just by trying that food 8-10 times. I should force myself to do that with all my other hated foods.

Sophie – Thanks, let me know how you like it!

mr.ed – Strawberry rhubarb sure is tasty, too. And that’s so sweet of Liz! I’m really thrilled that she’ll be singing for us.

mimi – Thanks! We served it chilled. I edited the post to make that clearer.

Anticiplat, Niall, andreea, Chocolate Shavings – Thanks!

Gabi – Thank you so much! Please let me know how it goes when you try it. Picholine are good, too? I guess I’ll be brave and try those next, on your recommendation!

I love your inventiveness with food. It is fun to read of your explorations with flavour and unusual combinations of flavours.

I will definitely be trying your amuse-bouche!

It’s funny I’ve had lots of friends including my hubbie who didn’t like olives when I met them but I kept presenting good ones like nicoise or picholine and sooner or later they became converts. Good for you for keeping an open minded palate.

I have just stumbled upon your blog. I love the clean design and fantastic photos. I am a blogger myself and always thought that design was key and you have certainly captured that! There are so many food blogs out there these days and being different to all the others is key. I have just started http://www.ifoods.tv which is a website for chefs, foodies and food bloggers to hand out, share recipes, photos and videos. When i was blogging I always thought i should be getting more traffic as my blog was getting lost in the masses of stuff out there so my new site is aimed at giving food bloggers and chefs a bigger platform! Hope you enjoy it and keep up the good writing and design here! I have now bookmarked you so will be regular reader, Cheers!
