Taste of Tuscany

"Tuscany" blipped on Saturday, 8 January, 2011, a photo of hot olives in a gorgeous tomato sauce. The photo garnered a great deal of comment and created a wonderful international cultural exchange. Creative cooking is such a pleasure for me, and so is the eating! Knew I would try this dish sooner rather than later. Cooked it up yesterday but then realized that as I had already submitted my blip for the day, could not take a photograph. Going on the theory that many tomato-based Italian sauces are even more tasty the second or third day after a spell in the fridge to let the flavors blend, I popped the pot into the icebox overnight. It became a luncheon dish today with a crusty slab of my homemade bread, a bit of rose´ and a fresh salad of spinach and sliced cucumbers.

Any of you cooks out there who think they may make this marvelous dish, go for it!!
