 CS> Yes and goof til 21, or 23 if a student. We looked it up later.

And it's funny, with Steve being older than the average GI, how often
we're mistaken for retired military. I had to correct somebody the other
day on that. (G)

Yes, and I'll tweak to our tastes.  Still haven't found the calamansi
(?) powder yet but not really been thinking about it all the time.  We
went over to a local seafood place tonight; decided to have a low key
Valentine's celebration. (G)

It's one way to get attention. (G)

And goes well with tomato soup.

I'll put the bread recipe in this message, the tapenade in the next. I
made a different tapenade but this is the one that came with the bread
recipe from the Food Network. It's from a Good Eats show

OLIVE LOAF

Vegetable spray
17 oz all purpose flour, approximately 3 1/2 cups
(I used 100% whole wheat with no problem)
3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) baking powder
12 oz pitted, roughly chopped mixed olives, approximately 2 cups
1/3 cup store bought or home made tapenade
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup whole milk
(I used "rich" powdered, reconstituted)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
(I used about half a teaspoon; the olives are salty enough!)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a standard loaf pan with vegetable
spray, line with parchment paper and set aside.

Mix flour and baking powder in a large bowl, add olives and tapenade,
mix well. Whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil, honey and salt.  Add
to dry mix, stir to combine--do not mix until smooth. Pour into prepared
pan, bake for 75-80 minutes (until a toothpick inserted in the middle
comes out clean). Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
