Davidson Hits the Road!

DSC_0110There has been a lot of restructuring going on lately in this St. Augustine FL real estate office and we couldn’t be happier about it! We are really excited about our new and improved sales meetings on Tuesday mornings. The agents are getting more involved, we are team building, celebrating hard work, congratulating each other, and having fun! And, of course, we are learning all about Northeast Florida real estate.

To help get more “hands on” we’ve decided that once a month, the last Tuesday of the month, we’re taking our party on the road to see and learn all we can about our area. So far we’ve seen the beautiful Lennar, David Weekley Homes, Taylor Morrison, and CornerStone Homes’ models in Nocatee and August 31st we are setting out to make Aberdeen home for a couple hours.

Aberdeen is full of great properties and builders. Have you had the chance to check out the community? There is so much going on there that you might not have seen. We are starting off at the Drees Homes’ model and then exploring what Richmond American, DR Horton, Holder Johnson, and Mercedes Homes’ have to offer. If you are interested in the CR 210 area, any one of our Jacksonville Realtors can show you around town! Read more

From Jim Davidson’s Kitchen: Snapper Fromage

July 15, 2010

Posted by in Jim's Recipes

IMG_5326Last month, Jim Davidson, Master Developer of our favorite Jacksonville golf course community, shared his amazing meatloaf dish with us. This month, he is sharing my favorite dish he makes! It’s a bit more complicated, but totally worth it in deliciousness! Prepare to salivate:

Snapper Fromage (4-6 People)

5 Egg yolks whipped until frothy, add 2/3 jar of Kraft Mayonnaise, mix thoroughly.

Add 6-8 packages of fresh grated parmesan cheese until mixture is very thick, it should almost be like a thick paste.

I buy pink snapper if possible for this dish, but Red Snapper will do. You want the fish market to filet and debone the fish.

Prepare fish by cutting shoulders from belly side and trim off dark meat vein. Fish pieces should be 1/2” to 3/4” thick. You can stack belly-side pieces to achieve desired thickness. Wash fish filets and pat dry; put on cookie sheet that has been sprayed with Pam non-stick spray. Put layer of fromage sauce about 1/4” thick over each filet. You can refrigerate the fish, once prepared, for 2-3 hours prior to cooking. Put in pre-heated oven at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes and then broil until brown. (BE CAREFUL – it is easy to burn fromage sauce). Take out of oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes prior to serving. I serve with pasta (linguine) and clam sauce.

 *Note: The fromage sauce may also be used on chicken breast.

MeatloafJim Davidson is not only the Master Developer of World Golf Village he is also a spectacular chef! Once a month he spoils us at our Friday Cookout, so we wanted to spoil you by giving away some of his secrets. Here is one of his great recipes to try at home:

Jim’s World Famous Meatloaf

 2-1/2 lbs Ground Meat (Beef or Venison) If beef, use lowfat
1-1/2 lbs Ground Pork
1 Fine Chopped Large Onion
1 15oz. can Hunts Tomato Sauce
1 14oz. can Diced Tomato (Drain Juice)
2 Large or XL Eggs beaten
Dust meat with Goya Adobo All Purpose Seasoning
Dust  meat with Black Pepper
Light Dust meat with Salt
10-20 drops Louisiana Hot Sauce
20+ drops A1 Sauce
½ cup Progresso Bread Crumbs – Plain
Ketchup swirl on top of each Meatloaf
Makes 2 – 10” x 6” x 2” Meatloafs – When you put each loaf in pan make sure that meat doesn’t touch any sides of pan.
Put in Aluminum Pans – 12” x 10-1/2”
Preheat oven 350°, cook uncovered on top shelf for approximately 2 hours or until 160° – 180°. May take a little less time.
Remember: This is a “Hands On” recipe. I wouldn’t recommend using your feet “like with grapes” but you MUST make sure every ingredient is thoroughly mixed.

Jim
