It's good. I've also experimented some with the same cream
cheese/butter combination but with some TJ tapenade mixed in. Could be
worse. The one I just put together is the CC (lower fat) & butter with
TJ Roasted Red Pepper and Artichoke Tapenade mixed in -- about 2/3 of a
jar of it. Needs something but I can't decide what. I'd add a little
salt but somehow that seems wrong to do. I added some of the Bouquet
Garni mix but haven't tasted it yet. Didn't add much. Am using some
kind of pita chip for it -- consistency is soft for a spread and thick
for a dip. Go figure. Probably be best on pasta and that could happen
by nightfall. :-)
