Wedding Olives

Olives, Wedding ¶¶¶¶¶
1 c. manizllo green olives, well rinsed 1 c. water-packed calamata olives, well rinsed 10 sprigs fresh thyme 4 bay leaves 1 lg. Garlic clove, thinly slices 1/4 t. fennel seeds orange peel in strips 2 T. extra-virgin olive oil	Mix together, then refrigerate 4 days, stirring once each day. Serve at room temperature. I served these at my daughter's wedding shower - the mix of flavours may sound strange, but these are absolutely delicious. And they went very well with the Stained Glass Potatoes I made for a garnish (a Martha Stewart recipe that was actually quite good!).
