Pancakes and bacon, made these last night while I was doing another of those up all night things. Made enough for a few days and some for the freezer.

Spaghetti alla Puttanesca.

I had to look up puttanesca. The etymology is quite funmy but it soumds delicious!

Husband made a batch of green olive soup for the freezer. It's very creamy & rich & not salty. I made a bourbon pumpkin pie.

I like green olives, but have never heard of the soup. I might try a batch soon.

I never heard of it until he found the recipe many years ago in a cookbook called the Frugal Gourmet Cooking the 3 Ancient Cuisines. I found this link that someone else posted of the recipe if your interested.

@Lilac, I haven't heard of this soup before.

Is this your recipe, or close to it?

I would love it with my favorite olives-

Get the pitted kind.

It'd be nice to find someone near by to make/brine these olives.
I used to know a couple of people, but have lost touch.

Did a chuck roast in the oven, perfect medium rare. Yummo.

@RadishRose it's the same recipe except they used 1 more cup olives than I do.

I like using the sliced Spanish green olives (minus the red pimentos) at Gordon Food Service in a big gallon jar. They last forever in the brine. When you soak them, don't go over the 1 hour. It will leave the right amount of salt in them for the recipe. I have to watch my salt intake & this recipe doesn't bother me. My husband once left the olives soak too long & it was bland. We fixed it by added some unsoaked olives & it made it better.

The first time we made it we had to buy the small jars & pick out the pimento.

I don't know how any other olive would do in it, but the Castelvetrano is my favorite olive for a charcuterie board.

I baked a loaf of bread today. It made the kitchen smell good.

That looks great.

@RadishRose and @dobielvr, if someone told me they were making "green olive soup" I'd have assumed they were mixing a martini. Never would have guessed it might really be soup!

 

[StarSong]

DH & I will finish off the Congressional Navy Bean Soup (with vegan changes) for lunch, so this afternoon I'll start some Italian Wedding Soup using meatballs I make ahead (using Beyond Meat) and keep in the freezer. Pulling together the rest of the soup is not a big deal.

It's supposed to rain (AGAIN) this evening, and high temps won't climb to the mid-60s until Monday, so I'll embrace soup weather while it's here.
