Rhea "magnetic ink" P.'s Profile

Local, raw honey is good for those with allergies.  Fortunately, I am not one of those people who have chronic allergies, but it's something to try if you do.

Now, I am not completely clear on what raw honey is, however, the folks  here are very knowledgeable and will give you schooling.

Goat soap that smelled really great is available as well.  I love really cool, local products with people who feel really great about what they are producing.

This is the first REAL farmer's market I have experienced since moving to Orlando.  This market has actual produce!

So many other unique vendors come out as well.  I especially like the produce selections, and the plants.  The French pastries, with the quiches and pies look so amazingly tempting!!!

Specialty cheeses, olive oil, hand made pasta, as well as specialty soaps can be found here as well.  I was really delighted to see Lake Meadows Naturals here as well.

Such a treat on a gorgeous morning!!!

track shack does a really great job in organizing races. Registration, packet pickup, was so easy for this 5K race.

This race was super crowded! Okay. Several issues- not with the race itself, but with everything that goes with races.. Why are you bringing your dog on a leash in between hundreds and hundreds of people crowding in a little space? I got so annoyed at whoever thought this was a good idea.I think perhaps, it might have been a little bit more manageable if these start corrals were a little bit more spaced out.

Next issue. Cobblestone. I mean, it is Winter Park, and cobblestone it is really nice for It's charming qualities, however it's not very practical - especially for running. I'm really not a fan of running on cobblestone, so as much as I could, I use the sidewalk.

Third issue. there needs to be some universal etiquette regarding running races. It needs to be like driving, or like moving walkways at the airport. Slow on the right, fast on the left - single file. If people simply follow this very simple concept, everyone would be a lot happier. This would greatly reduce the amount of people weaving that I had to do in order to get away from people who want to have conversations regarding their ex-husbands, and when their leases end.

the vendors, volunteers, and the refreshments were really nice and well run. I have no complaints about that at all. Photographers were available to take pictures. This is why it is so important to make sure your race bib is pinned correctly on your shirt -so identifying you in professional pictures will be easier.

Every 52nd person that crossed the finish line received a $10 gift card to seasons 52. I was not one of those people - I was one of the unfortunate 53rd person to finish. That is just wrong.

however, I'm willing to take that one for the team, because this race benefits the boys and girls club.

somewhat hesitant to visit this place because I am a vegetarian. However, I was really surprised to see the tofu sandwiches here. Honestly, I wanted a sandwich that had the  eggs on top. If they could make that sandwich for me without the animal, substitute tofu, and then put the egg on top, I feel I would be very happy woman.

I should make it clear that I was a happy woman upon leaving this place. I need to try the milk teas, because it is something new to me that I have never tried. However because I am  the way that I am, I need to do a little bit more research before I try it. I just need to know what to expect.

My vegetarian crunch rolls were really delicious. The tofu sandwich I had was nice as well, and definitely meant to be eaten with a special sauce. The star of my meal, without a doubt, was the she not sauce that came with the crunch rolls. I mean, seriously, it was amazing. They should think about simply selling the sauce all by itself in jars. I would totally buy.

The surprise of the evening was the peppers on the side of my sandwich.

See, this is where I need to do more research before I try something new. I was simply not prepared for this massive heatwave to hit my sinuses. what I thought was a common bell pepper was something that  literally almost made me scream. It took everything in me to keep myself calm, and composed, while beginning to reach for napkins to control runny nose, and eyes.

I look forward to doing a little bit more research on the boba beverages before trying them. I really love the casual and clean atmosphere of the restaurant. The television screens definitely add to the feel as well. Service was really great. They really went out of their way to make me feel comfortable, and to make sure that I enjoyed my meal.

I love popcorn, but not crazy about kettle popcorn at all.  That being said, this popcorn actually disintegrates in your mouth, and it's not super sweet like other kettle corn I have tried.  

I like that the weight watchers points are also listed. . .however, they need to update it to the new points plus values.

Really great business that supports the local sports scene.  I like the personal attention given to helping you select an appropriate shoe.

Parking can be a challenge at times, but you'll figure it out :)

This place is intriguing only  because the items  belonged to people who lost their luggage. . .God bless their souls. . .or to unclaimed cargo.  I find that fascinating.

In reality, it's just like a thrift shop, but more expensive.  

I like the world map that shows where people have visited.  I did not find anything really unique or mind blowing here.

I am not a Kardashian fan. . .Of course I have never met any of them, however  I dislike everything this family represents about  American culture.

That being said, I must admit these people know how to run a damn business.  I am impressed with the total Shoedazzle experience.  Ordering online, returns, the speed of shipping, quality of shoes.

I am especially impressed with the customer service.  Everyone has been very helpful and more than willing to assist me with every issue, question, or concern.  I am never hurried or rush.

I have to give props when it's due, and they deserve it!

I admit, I had to resign myself to parking the car and actually walking into the shop in order to get breakfast. I could not believe this place did not have a drive through window.

I got over it.I think the process would be much easier if people knew what they wanted when they ordered.

I wanted to try bagel sandwiches made with egg whites with thin bagels. the draw was of course, that the sandwich itself - made with asparagus, Swiss, and egg white is supposedly less than 450 cal. So, the thing is, when you're ordering a light bagel sandwich, in order for it to have that few calories, it is going to be a very small sandwich.

Especially if you are used to the traditional size bagel sandwiches here - it might be a little bit shocking. It was okay - but definitely not something I would repeat again - especially for the money I paid. Otherwise, it was an okay meal. I got fed, and that was the purpose.

Squeeky clean! Very sparkly interior with all of the other beautiful things one might expect to see at a cathedral--images, statues, gorgeous artwork.  

I suppose I am more of a music person, and there did not seem to much here.  However, I left after communion, so I may have missed out.

It seems this parish is of a younger crowd. I saw  a lot of young people here on my visit mixed in with the older crowd. . .Very fashionable parish!
