I got an email from my daughter the other day.
I've never tried this...just passing on her recommendation:

"Do you like kalamata olives? Trader Joes has an amazing olive
tapenade that (husband) and I used to spread on white pizzas we made
years ago. More recently when I got a jar, we put it on chicken breast.
It was so good."

I saw Emeril Lagassee make some years ago. I made his recipe, minus the
anchovies. We had it on small slices of toasted bread. We all liked it!

I did buy some one year for gift baskets and bought a jar for myself but I
think it was at Cost Plus World Market.

Do you remember where it was located in the store? I sometimes have trouble
finding thing there. For instance, the hemp nuts are with the cereal and not
the baking things.

I use olive tapenade and pesto on pizza if I got them on hand. Pizza with tomato sauce is boring and I try to avoid it if I can.

I haven't bought it, Julie. Anytime you're in a store that you're not
familiar with, just ask any store employee. They can tell where to go.

Stores that aren't in the Twilight Zone stock it near the olives
or in the ethnic aisle.

No, they can't. They'd get fired. I know. I work in retail, and there are
customers whom I'd like to tell where to go, but I'd get fired. Speaking
of my job, it's back to work tomorrow after my two week Covid leave.

Cindy, I was at that store once. The proprietors dressed and
spoke in ways many decades from the past. They had never
renovated or updated. They even still used a mechanical
cash register that printed carbon copy receipts.

But now I can't seem to find the place any more. Coincidence?

I suppose I'm old enough that it might just be an actual memory.

I remember seeing olives (and diced red pepper?) in spaghetti a few times in the past.
