I SAY TOE-MAY-TOE...YOU SAY TAH-MA TOE

Stroll over to Designs By Gollum's blog to visit the other Foodie participants.



The same (pronunciation) goes for an Italian food which consists of grilled bread with vegetables, herbs, cheese, meats,etc.
Bruschetta, (pronounced bɾu'sketta - In Italian, the letters "ch" represent the sound "k") Whichever you prefer Brushetta or Brusketta in the end it is a savory or sweet dish that has endless possibilities!


AT TIMES SWEET




TODAY SAVORY




Traditional Brusketta




I spread a mayonnaise garlic, (eggless) Aioli on the Ciabatta bread. It's not necessary but adds a creamy flavored base.
Add the toppings: (fresh) tomatoes tossed in olive oil, basil, garlic, Italian cheese.
Broil until crispy.




Along with the traditional version, I made a Brusketta with caramelized (sweet) onions,
Boursin and smoked Gouda cheeses.
I generally add Prosciutto or Pancetta to the Brusketta, making it a heartier meal. Instead we had.....




Roasted Red Pepper & Tomatoe Soup with Italian cheese (stuffed) link sausage.
Each dish tasted as good as it sounds

Let me know if there's any questions?

All this bruschetta (and soup) looks fabulous. I have never tried a dessert type, or most of the savory kind shown. But, I sure do enjoy the traditional recipe; makes me want to run outside and plant some basil and tomatoes.

Thanks for the new recipe ideas and the great photos.

Everything looks so good however you pronounce it! I had to giggle while I was reading the pronunciations. When I was in Birmingham, AL, last week, I was looking for a place called Iverness. I asked the lady, "Do you know where Iverness is (I pronounced it Iver--as in ivy and ness as in the Loch Ness). Well she had never heard of such a place. UNTIL I showed it to her in writing and she said "OH" in her cute little southern drawl, "Iverness" (as in "if-er-niss"). OMG!!! Don't make me come over that counter and smack your little southern behind! Geesh. There isn't THAT much difference to not be able to understand!!! I'm not from, say, France! Geeeeee. lol. Anyway, sorry for the tangent. I'll have to post about that! tehe.

Sara,
So nice to meet you! Thanks for stopping by.To answer your question... the sprinkles and colored sugar just melt in the bath water. I got the essential oils at Michael's but I've seen them at health food stores. Please try this. They turned out so cute and they really are a fun gift!

Falling into Fall........

October has brought a definite chill to the air, putting me in a decorating mood. As you've come to know from visiting my blog, I love exploring new ideas for taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary. Which I accomplish through the inspiration provided by visiting your lovely blogs. Nothing says "FALL" like these... PUMPKINS! The versatility of pumpkins in any fall decor is endless. I've only got one problem... sometimes the pumpkins can start to look a little sad before the seasons end. (Natalie Maynor's photo) Violet Skiles has the perfect solution! Pumpkin Toppers Flowers, leaves, pearls, frame charm .....what more could you ask for? Reusable, perhaps? Yes they are! Violet has a beautifully illustrated tutorial at her blog for creating your own Pumpkin Topper . Please stroll on over for a visit. She's just as charming as her art! **************************************************** T...

She knows we have to say goodbye....

Angel laid on my chest and filled my face with kitty kisses. Trying to give me enough of them to ease my pain and hopefully carry me through in her absence. Our time is fleeting. How I wished I could turn back the clock. When I look at her I can't convey to her the the love I have, or how great this loss is to me. Especially how I'll miss her everyday. Angel always loved blogging, more so putting in her opinion. She has been my constant companion through my darkest hours and has brought my greatest delights for 16 years. As my dear friend said to me..."they're the ones we whisper our greatest fears to." "We have a big favor to ask of you." My circle of family and friends is very tiny here, so finding solace can be distant. This is where I'm reaching out to you. I know you understand with all your heart what these furry companions mean to us. I would like to compile a scrapbook with all your comments. Whether your a pet owner or just a lover...

Yes Virginia, Christmas has come early!

It's finally happened! My camera has closed it's shutter for the last time. No need for tears... CAUSE I'M JUMPIN' FOR JOY! "Get your boots on Virginia, were goin' camera shopin'." Although my camera isn't as old as the one pictured here...it certainly felt like it at times, especially without a macro option (that word has become music to my ears). It's quite possible I've paid the equivalent of two new cameras with all the batteries purchased over the course of time. For any of you that have stock in Duracell batteries..."you're welcome." If I were to leave the selection of my new camera up to my family... I've no doubt this is what they'd pick out. "Holy macro " just think what I could capture in a single shot... Wow, that would be one hard flash dot to shake from your retinas. I'd be the envy of every paparazzi in Hollywood. Due to the demise of my camera... I wasn't able to bring you all my ...
