I am posting a review only to respond to what the first person wrote on 11/2/05. And, of course, they were anonymous! First off, your rating is a joke if you are only rating it for specified ingredients. If it calls for fat free And that is not what you like then, by all means, use full fat. Second, fat free cream cheese is obviously not the starring role in this dish. With the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, feta and olives, it would not even matter. It tones down the other ingredients. Lastly, FRESH olives taste like crap!! They are not marinated in any sort of brine like you would find in a canned olive. And unless you live in a major metropolis, MOST supermarkets DON'T carry them! Please know what you are talking about before you post it!
