Pumpkin Pie Brûlée
Has anyone made this yet? All the recipes I've seen for creme brulee require the cream to be heated first - will this set up?

Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
My favorite olive ever was served to us on the Costa Brava at a teeny tiny restaurant by the sea. I have no idea what kind they were or what they were brined with, but it was pure olive crack. Couldn't stop eating them.

I have never meet an olive I didn't love. Since I am just back from Madrid, I will say arbequina olives with a nice red wine at an outdoor tapas bar.

Not really a huge fan of olives but olive oil is a wonderful thing.

I still remember the first time I had a kalamata olive. I was 13 years old, and my family had decided to picnic with some friends along a river. One person had brought along a bunch of kalamatas and was raving about them. I was eager to try one, but when I did, I thought they were awful. But after eating them at random intervals over the years, I've grown to love them; they're now my favorite :)

the little spanish arbequina olives, hands down.

I love olives! My favorite depends on my mood - sometimes cerignola, sometimes arbequina, sometimes picholines, sometimes nicoise, sometimes picual, sometimes manzanilla - give them all to me.

Oh, I love olives so very much. It's a toss-up between a buttery cerignola or the always delicious kalamatas...

Never met an olive I didn't love. My current favorite is picholine. It will be something else next week...

Yes, I'm boring, but I'll pop kalamata after kalamata in my mouth just like candy (but picholines are nice too, and Gaetas... )

young, fat, green cerignolas. and sadly those gross pimento stuffed ones in the grocery store
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I love kalamatas with pasta and manzanillas plain or chopped in soups
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
feta-stuffed green olives. or black oil cured ones. I love the oil most of all- I practically drink it if it's good enough.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I love the ones that have been pressed into oil. :)

Picholine...or a big green one stuffed with a smoked almond. yum.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I love any kind of cured black or purple olives, but Gaeta and Alfonso are my favorites.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
picholine with a little lemon zest and red pepper....mmmmm, too good
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Kalamata are my favorite!
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
Definitely Kalamata, or ones stuffed with parmesan cheese...mmmm

Olive oil with pepper flakes

Nicoise olives to eat out of hand.
A hand stuffed blue cheese green olive for my martini.

Lugano, for real.
Weekend Giveaway: Nudo Olive Tree Adoption
I had to look it up because, like many other above, I'm not familiar with the names, but Lucque olive are quite tasty.

Kalamata but not in brine--must be oil cured
