Cookies For a Cure in Westport CT

How can a baker and a realtor fight cancer? Cookies for a Cure of course! Check out the video to learn more about how Andre Kreft of Savor Cookies and Doris Ghitelman of William Raveis Real Estate raised $3200 towards breast cancer research one bag of Pinkki at a time!

Doris and myself have been R Group partners for 4 years. We met at a Floyd Wickman Master Sales Society event and have talked every other Wednesday ever since. We talk about business, we talk about life, we laugh, we cry. We keep each other on track and offer wisdom, both bad and good. It's like we've known each other all of our lives, although we've only physically been in each other's presence 4 times in our lives. That's what happens when Floyd Wickman is in the house. Throw in this dynamo named Doris and good things happen! With that being said, I am so very proud of Doris' Cookies for a Cure project in Westport CT. It's amazing what a little bit of effort can accomplish.

Finally Some Snow for Cappy Callahan the Goldendoodle

Finally Some Snow for Cappy Callahan the Goldendoodle. Having brought Cappy Callahan the Goldendoodle home last May, he had yet to enjoy the fun of a NW Ohio snowstorm. Finally Mother Nature took pity on him and gave him his wish - a romp in the snow. As a real estate professional (R Squared Coach) I hear from agents all the time how the weather can interfere with their day. Appointments cancelled, cold toes in vacant properties (it's usually colder INSIDE a vacant property than OUTSIDE!), unshovelled drives and sidewalks, plus a variety of other headaches. It's nice to be able to dwell on the positive and be grateful for some white stuff for once. Take a look at Cappy having some fun ...

NW Ohio|Toledo|Maumee Fall Colors and Foliage

NW Ohio|Toledo|Maumee Fall Colors and Foliage. www.toledorealestateresource.com. I love fall. The crisp, cool (but not freezing) weather. The beautiful transitional colors. The smell of leaves on the ground. Sweaters. Sunlight peeking through the soon to be bare branches. I just love it!

To help me with my fall color fixation, I went on a photographing spree, then morphed the photos into a video. Plus a lovely song, entitled "Every Season" by Nichole Nordeman, furnished through animoto.

 

Enjoy!

Good Morning Toledo|August 20 2011|Mulvaneys Bunker. Another great deal with Living Social coupons ... Mulvaneys Bunker on Dorr Street just east of Reynolds Rd.

Another terrific local Toledo restaurant with great staff and great food. Plus about a million TVs.

Our Living Social certificate was worth $20. We paid $10 for it. Our total bill was less than $19 (not including tip) and this is the fabulous feast we fed our faces ...

  • 3 draft beers
  • bowl of the most delicious potato soup, smothered in bacon and cheese
  • Hawaiian Pizza - crispy, tasty, and yummy
  • Irish Shepherd's Pie (big enough to eat for two more days of leftovers) - not made with ground meat but lovely delectable chunks of beef, covered with mashed potatoes and cheese
  • 2 cups of coffee
  • 2 pieces of wildly fabulous chocolate cake (Yes, I eat a lot when I'm stressed!)

We will definitely be going back to Mulvaneys Bunker, even without a freebie.

Here's a list of my favorites:

Favorite Maragaritas - Loma Linda's

Favorite Tostaditas - Loma Linda's (gotta bake the jalapenos on top!)

Favorite Nachos - Mi Hacienda

Favorite Refried Beans - Mi Hacienda

Favorite Firecracker Shrimp - Amigos

Favorite Coldest Draft Mexican Beer - Mi Hacienda (their Dos XX is so cold it turns into a beer slush when you pour it into your chilled mug!)

Favorite Decor - Mi Hacienda

Favorite Tortilla Soup - Loma Linda's, but Good Morning Holland is a close second

Favorite Breakfast Place - Good Morning Holland

Best Mexican Food in Toledo

With all being said, the best Mexican food I've ever had was last August in Rockwall Texas (outside of Dallas), when we went to Mexican Grocery Store and bought beef fajita meat for a pool party. It was one of the best meals I've ever had. There is pretty much nothing better than authentic fajita meat, authentic crema, and authentic chihuahua cheese. Liked it so much we bought 10# to bring back to Ohio with us. Served it last week at a get-together for my Navy son who was home on leave.

What is authentic fajita meat? Well, I'm not really sure, but here is my interpretation: if you go to a grocery store and ask for fajita meat and they point to a gray bin filled to the brim with a reddish orange liquid, peppers, onions, tomatoes, and spices ... that's a good start. Even better is when they dip their scoop into it, at the bottom they find large strips of skirt steak, extremely well-marbled with fat.

Simply throw it on the grill for a few minutes, then slice against the grain like you would a flank steak. OMG is it GOOD!

So, what is your favorite Mexican spot in Toledo? Let me know, okay?

And don't forget, see ya tomorrow for more coffee, tea, and me ...
