gananoque realtor: AUTUMN EATING IN GANANOQUE - WHAT'S BETTER THAN AN APPLE CIDER PIE?
- 10/20/12 02:52 AM
Gananoque, Ontario
One of the best things about living in Gananoque in the Autumn, is the local area apple orchards. We're minutes away from fresh picked apples and freshly pressed Apple Cider.
I love sitting out on my porch (which just happens to be on the prettiest street in Gananoque) sipping on warm cider, inhaling all the wonderful autumn scents:
the cinnamon wafting up from my cider . . .
it blends in perfectly with the wood smoke in the air from neighbours fireplaces . . .
there's even a certain fragrance that comes from the gorgeous coloured leaves that line … (8 comments)

Today is another gorgeous day in the Town of Gananoque. Sunny, blue sky and 24 degrees. (75 degrees old school) Still nice enough to BBQ without mitts on :0)

mushrooms? Nah, did that last week.
Potatoes? Nah, don't need something that filling.

gananoque realtor: APPLE-CURRANT STUFFING with VENISON CHOPS in Gananoque
- 09/14/12 06:31 AM
Gananoque, On
I wanted to use the venison chops I had in the freezer and so I pulled out a recipe I hadn`t used in years and I am soooo happy I saved it. Unfortunately, we ate the meal before I remembered to take a photo - oops. Trust me though, it was delish!
I realized that the stuffing on its own would be fantastic as a side dish for Thanksgiving or perfect in pork and chicken too.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut a pocket in the side of whatever you`ve chosen to stuff: 6 venison chops or chicken breasts, … (14 comments)

gananoque realtor: Gazpacho with a little twist - perfect on these hot and sunny days!
- 07/12/12 04:44 AM
I have always been a fan of cold soups from the very first time I made Vichyssoise in 4H Club when I was 11 years old! (that recipe and others, another day!)
But Gazpacho does seem to be my favourite these days. Our time on the Costa del Sol was spent enjoying Gazpacho every day for lunch. As many different versions as there was restaurants to try! The most memorable was our last beachside lunch on Christmas Eve, the waves practically splashing the windows and us wondering whether our flight was going to be able to manage in the storm that … (13 comments)

FAQ #8 FOR YOUR GANANOQUE REALTOR - WHY AM I NOT GETTING SHOWINGS?
This is one of the simplest questions to answer and one that is often asked in this business.
It all goes back to the very beginning when you first interviewed Realtors to list your home for sale. (you did interview, right?)
You see, Sellers are in charge of many many things and, so they should be. Some things are in their control of and others, completely out of their control.
The most important thing a Seller controls is the selection of the Realtor and that should be based … (14 comments)

gananoque realtor: Are we reliving the 60's ?
- 02/07/12 08:58 AM
The Chew (a tv cooking show) spoke of the 60's being a time when people realized they could afford to entertain at home by way of dinner and cocktail parties. It became a time when food was more than just sustenance. It was a time of the ever popular Avocado Green appliances too.
Then we went thru the seasons of almond, black, white and stainless . . .
Guess what?
Nowadays, many people can't afford to go out to eat so they've come back to home entertainment. Dinner parties are huge again!
