    We are very excited because this weekend we are trekking it to Austin, hanging with friends, and going to the Austin Food and Wine Festival to eat lots of good food. I have just purchased a pair of ‘chambray’ pants (more like mom pants) with a stretchy waistband that I will live in so I can eat more delicious food. Is anyone else heading over to Austin for the festival?

    Today we have these Beer Battered Fried Olives. I am not a huge olive fan, so if you’re like me, you can totally substitute olives for pickled green beans, cocktail onions, or pickled asparagus. All those things go well with the yogurt sauce. Yum. These are a great way to fancy up your regular cocktail olives. Hope you all like it!

      Yum, I look forward to making these for my family & friends. I think they would be great with jalapeno stuffed olives.
      Thanks for sharing this with us.

      These were delicious! The first couple didn’t coat well, so I tossed the olives in flour, then the batter and they were perfect! Thanks for sharing.

      I was in Texas not so long ago and I ate soooooooooooo much. That state certainly knows how to do food in a big way! Steak eating comp totally wiped out my friend. I could barely cope with so much food, and there wasn’t even a food festival on. I think a Food and Wine festival in this state would be bonkers…put totally awesome!

      These look awesome. I imagine they’d be great like this but stuffed with an anchovy too…
