My friend Enrique sent me a picture the other day that he took specially for me. He was at the annual Mercado Medieval, Cordoba's answer to the Renaissance Faire and stumbled upon a beautiful bucket full of olives. Now I am craving real Andalucian olives...looks like I'll have to book a flight to Spain to satisfy my craving!

I love olives and a couple of restaurants in my area serve great appetizers. One is mix of marinated olives and the other is a great olive relish that they serve with a whole grain toasted flat bread/cracker (it's a brand and I can't remember it) While searching for an olive relish recipe, I came across this on CD Kitchen and can't wait to try it:
Roasted Olives (Olive Al Forno)
Ingredients:
1 can mild black olives, such as Gaeta or Alfonso
4 ounces cured green olives, rinsed and drained
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 pinch crushed red pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350*F. In a small baking pan, stir together all of the ingredients.

59 year-old rocker Billy Joel has a pretty candid interview in the upcoming issue of Details, and I found myself laughing out loud at a few of his comments. He talks about a suicide attempt at 21, about his young bride, and about the many car accidents he’s had, all of which he claims had nothing to do with his drinking. He also likens the Betty Ford clinic to a “concentration camp” and says that he just needed to dry out.
