A recipe [stolen] from my favorite hostess...

This recipe is from my sister, Susan, the most inspiring hostess I know. She makes entertaining look like a breeze, and looks good doing it. It’s reprinted here completely without permission, but I’m sure she won’t mind too much. Hope I’m not spilling any secrets, Suz.

AND: Today is her birthday. Happy Birthday, Suz!!

Crazy Jane’s Mixed-up Pepper
1 big handful kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
crackers or sliced baguette

1. Crumble up the goat cheese in a bowl. Add enough olive oil to make it a spreadable consistency. Add some Crazy Jane’s and stir.
2. Top with olives. Serve with crackers or bread.
