Cake For All!

Posted by Kristen Calhoun in Agent Feature

Pauline and WoodyWe would not be surprised if you have heard of Pauline Cake, one of our renowned St. Augustine realtors.  When Pauline moved here from Arizona in 1996, she read in the paper everyday about World Golf Village. When she was driving around with a friend in the area, she said “This place looks like Disney World! That is where I’m going to work!”  She began her love for World Golf Village in 1997 in Sales and Catering for the Renaissance Hotel, shortly after she was promoted to Executive Admin in Human Resources.

Pauline got her Florida Real Estate License. She knocked on a trailer door at the World Golf Village sales office. Pauline has been a Davidson agent since 2002. She’s also been a resident in our St. Augustine golf course community living in Bearsford, Royal Pines and Waterbury. When Pauline and Woody (also a Davidson Realty agent) began living in the King & Bear, there wasn’t a Publix here yet. She giggled as she told me that the only place to buy wine was the Shell station. By the way, they still have good wine! (more…)

Character Counts in our St. Augustine Golf Course Community

Posted by Kristen Calhoun in Community Involvement, Contests, St. Johns County schools

Davidson Appreciates TeachersWoodrow T. Wilson said that “Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.” When I sent my first born off to kindergarten, I thought about how I no longer would be her greatest influence. I knew she would spend more time with her teacher than with her parents. After touring the award winning St. Johns County Schools, we sold our home and moved to our St. Augustine golf course community.

Davidson Realty is launching a new program to thank those who make a difference for our children; teachers. The community is invited to take part. Each quarter, the community will be invited to submit nominations of teachers from specific grades at both Mill Creek and Wards Creek Elementary who most exemplify the “Character Counts” traits.

Jim Davidson’s Delicious Salmon Stuffed with Goat Cheese

Posted by Peyton Davidson in Jim's Recipes

ING-salmon-filet-2_sqlFrom Jim Davidson’s kitchen to yours! This month he is showing us how to make salmon stuffed with goat cheese and spinach, one of Sherry Davidson’s favorites! If you are a resident of our St. Augustine golf course community, he recommends running up to Kyle’s Seafood off of US1to get the best salmon filets.

Salmon Stuffed with Goat Cheese & Fresh Spinach

Buy large salmon filets boned and skinned (I purchase ½ of the whole salmon and cut it into steaks 3”- 4” wide). Make sure the fish market pulls all the rib bones out of the meat.

Make a thick mixture of goat cheese (garlic or herb encrusted) and fresh spinach. Mixture should be very thick.

Rub each filet with olive oil and cut a small slice in the side of each filet to create a pocket for the stuffing mixture. Insert about 3 tablespoons of the goat cheese and fresh spinach mixture into each filet.

Completely wrap each filet in a pastry strip then baste the top of each pastry wrapped filet with egg wash (lightly whipped egg whites). Publix sells the pastry in the frozen section. Make sure to thoroughly thaw the pastry before use. Bake at 325° for 30 minutes until pastry is brown. While the salmon is cooking, I heat up a can of lobster bisque.

To serve put ¼ cup of lobster bisque on plate, put salmon on top of bisque, then put another ¼ cup of bisque on top of salmon. Serve with any type of paste (I like pasta with clam sauce and, of course, I used to enjoy a nice bottle of white wine!)

Jim
