Sharon Glanville, my talented sister, and BeBetsy partner has her Gnomes featured in the latest Somerset Holiday magazine! If you have not been to her Etsy site The Gnome Makers, you are in for a treat that will make you smile ear to ear. There are whimsical creatures small and large, wine toppers, and more. Spread them around your house, on your mantel, peeking out from behind a book on the shelf or anywhere you want to create some fun.

Maybe my great-grandchildren will blog about an ancestry recipe they found using homemade bread dough and delicious fillings to create a tempting and completely satisfying experience. It begins with a simple french bread dough of flour, yeast, salt, sugar, water and olive oil. In additional to the onion-pepper mix, I layer thinly sliced deli-ham, chopped green and black olives, hard salami or pepperoni, sliced sweet peppers, and lots of cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Just before this goes into the oven I brush a bit of olive oil on the crust, cut six evenly-spaced slits and sprinkle on cold water (makes for a perfect bread crust).
