Look great! I see you like olives on your pizza... so does my wife.
While I like eating olives or having them in a salad, etc... I don't
like them on pizza. To me, they are too salty/bitter and overpower the
taste of the other ingredients.

Nice job!

What's on the first one? Just cheese?


Both look good, but I'd forgo the onions and the stuffed olives. I prefer
washed (pitted) Kalamata olives....... they give a much better flavour than
those green stuffed ones.

Do you have a cheese mix for your pizza, or just one type?

My pizza mix is a packet of grated 'tasty', a packet of grated mozarella, and
a 1/2 packet of grated parmesan. All mixed together and divided into portions
for later use. I freeze the unused portions.

I saw Lepplas post about olives on pizzas being too salty....... tell him
to put some olives in a bowl of water while you're preparing all the other
ingredients and just wash/rinse them, then squeeze out any juice/water
before placing them on the pizza. That way you get the olive taste, and
not the brine. (I usually leave the kalamatas in the water for a good 5-
10mins)


You'll have to tell him because he has me kf'd.

Both look so-so, I'd forgo the onions and the stuffed olives. I
prefer
unwashed (unpitted) Kalamazoo olives....... they give a much better
flavour than
those green stuffed ones.

My pizza mix is a packet of pre-sliced cheddar, a packet of grated

I got new tiles last week. Good thing I got more than I needed
because they are thicker (not appreciably), and bigger than what I had
before. I see three album possibilities here...time to sort them out
before it becomes too complicated.

It's really easy with Picasa. Email me if you want to learn more, but
others here can advise you because they use it too. Om is one.
Everyone who uses Picasa will be willing to help you focus your albums
and help you know point to *one* album or picture.

Good Luck

I used to use olives straight out of a can, nothing gourmet... just
black olive deliciousness.

Speaking of olives... here's another recipe I didn't follow (no
tomato, more kinds of vegetables) that turned out to be *delicious*.


Roasted Chicken Thighs Provençal
<http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=15 99607&adsqs=raid:1813697>
Ingredients

* 3 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
* 4 plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into 6 wedges
* 3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
* Cooking spray
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary, divided
* 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, divided
* 1 teaspoon salt, divided
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
* 6 (6-ounce) skinless chicken thighs
* 24 niçoise olives
* Rosemary sprigs (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°.

Place potatoes, tomatoes, and carrots on a jelly-roll pan coated with
cooking spray. Drizzle vegetable mixture with olive oil; sprinkle
with 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary, 1 teaspoon thyme, 3/4 teaspoon
salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss gently, and spread into a single
layer on pan.

Bake at 425° for 30 minutes. Remove vegetable mixture from pan, and
keep warm.

Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped rosemary,
remaining 1 teaspoon thyme, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining
1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Add chicken and olives to pan.

Bake at 425° for 35 minutes or until chicken is done.

Garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired.

What other vegetables did you use? I think this might be a good place to use
an overabundance of zucchini.

This recipe along with other recent discussions on this list[1] reminds me
of Hubert Keller's recipe for roasted chicken using a vertical roaster.[2]

"Showing off" comes into it from a comment he made on the TV show which
didn't make it into the recipe published on the web site. The chicken (still
proudly upright on the vertical roaster) is garnished by sticking rosemary
sprigs into its neck opening. Then just as you're bringing the chicken to
the table, you're supposed to SET THE ROSEMARY ON FIRE as you parade the
chicken into the dining room.

Now THAT'S showing off! (Even more so than those sizzling fajita platters or
the Chinese "sizzling rice" dishes.)

[1] one about vertical roasters and one where you accused me of showing off

That does work. As much as I like green salad olives, I also find those
to be too salty. As soon as I get them home, I dump the brine and fill
the jar with water and let them sit in the refrigerator overnight before
using them for anything. Sometimes they need a second soak. It makes a
HUGE difference!

If you rinse them enough, you can re-flavor them as good as some of the
really expensive salad bar olives. :-) Add back a mix of Balsamic
vinegar, olive oil and your choice of spices. I did this for Christmas
this past year when my brother in law requested gourmet olives and I did
not want to spend the money for them.

Worked a treat.

Sounds similar to my chicken pot roast. :-) Sounds delicious too. I've
not added olives to a lot of recipes but I'm gradually adding them to my
armantaria. <g> They are utterly fabulous in anything tomato for sure.

The only thing I'd add to the above would be a couple of quartered small
onions.

Good thought! And maybe a few capers just to be fancy. <g>

Jeeze, I made it only this last week and already I don't remember - it
wasn't important. I just took what we didn't have enough of to make a
vegetable serving all by themselves and threw them in. Zucchini would
be fine, AFAIC.

Good God! How are you suppose to get a sprig of fresh rosemary to
burn, with lighter fluid?

When I was a kid, I used to order shish kabob because I liked fire.
They dimmed the lights and paraded it across the room, which was quite
a show. As an adult, I hate to think of how they lit it and got it to
stay lit while they waltzed across the room to the table with sabers
on fire.

Sure does......... even more so if you squeeze the suckers hard before you
use them, to get the last little bit of brine/water out.

It's funny, I recently bought a jar of green olives just to get the brine.
I'll be cooking artichokes in it sometime this week (probably Tuesday).

That sounds interesting. I have been known to use that brine in
macaroni salad.

I have some Balsamic glaze that I've just used recently on a salad, and
it's *magnifico*!!


I'd only use a little of the glaze, mostly EVOO, some chilli,
garlic........ mmmmmmmmmmmm, what else??!!

Sounds great just like that!!

*Another* experiment coming up!! ;-)

The word you're looking for is armarium.
It means a room where weapons and armour are kept, but also a pantry.

The cheese is mozzarella plus Parmesan. Usually I'll do black olive but
had a surplus of green so on they went. I cheated and there is turkey
pepperoni under the cheese. I try to be good and occasionally but turkey
pepperoni, then by the time I finish the pack I'm ready to get normal
pepperoni.

Did you know that you can copy the image locations and post links to
only the pizza pictures you originally referred to?

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Not brining, cooking. I'm going to put the artichokes in a plastic bag with
some of the brine and poach them. It's just a way to flavor the artichokes
with the salty green-olive flavor of the brine.

Ookay. :-) Just not my cup of tea. I cook them plain and dip in lime
mayo. But, to each their own!

i don't think any of the turkey products masquerading as pork or beef
(turkey bacon, turkey pastrami, ground turkey) are worth fooling with.

go ahead and eat cow or pig! what, you want to live forever?
