- Just A Thought
Just A Thought By Brenda Frank - Local Realtor July 14, 2022 Share If men get pregnant and don’t want to be, will they still want to carry, in their bellies, something that changes their bodies, stretches their skin, gives them morning sickness, many times becoming afternoon sickness, tiredness, losing their ability to smell some foods, give them Heartburn and Hemorrhoids, Varicose Veins, lack of sleep and physically accept changing bodily functions? How do they feel about being in acute labor for hours and then find out they need a Cesarean Section, a surgical procedure with the added stress of more required recuperation time and more financial responsibility due to this additional procedure? Do they want to add doctor appointments for themselves and a newborn, to their busy schedules, which may also include taking care of their other children, running a household and holding down a job? From having to pay for the aforementioned procedure due to being raped by a stranger or even worse, by a member of your own family, many of these females, are infants themselves. They know this can result in a child with permanent disabilities and may turn these infants over to a State Facility for unwanted children, children who will grow up permanently scarred knowing they weren’t conceived by choice. Certain Lawmakers are for cutting back sex education in classrooms and they, along with a number of voters and tax payers, already begrudge having to give financial aid to unmarried mothers. Where is the Law demanding the sperm provider provide his fair share and giving his time raising this child? None of today’s policies or lack thereof, makes sense. Protect them in the womb but not in the room. Oh yeah, what is the question? Will a man go through that? A while ago our Pharma developed a Birth Control Pill for men.* It was taken off the market. Why, you ask??? Because it makes them nauseous. I guess what’s good for the goose is not good for the gander. One study was discontinued because the men were concerned about side effects; acne, pain, mood swings and depression. Hmmm, where have I heard of these drawbacks? Oh, yeah, from women. Too bad ladies. Keep taking those pills before the Law removes the right for you to even have a choice to take them. It’s a man’s world. He was built for heavy lifting. Women the weaker sex? I think not. Men can brag about carrying a heavy load but they don’t come close to carrying one for nine months. The Supreme Court, nor should any Court, be allowed to control women. This is not just about Abortion. Lawmakers must not be allowed to take draconian measures turning women’s health issues into Criminal Offenses. Especially, those who have never been and will never be in this condition to pass Laws for another human being. Women’s lives matter. *Does male birth control exist?

- The American Dream
The American Dream June 11, 2021 Share Mo Mohamed & Paul Kruss: A Success Story Everybody in the vicinity of Aventura, North Miami Beach, Sunny Isles, Golden Beach, Hallandale, and Hollywood knows Mo Mohamed, the owner of Mo’s Bagels & Deli. His welcoming smile and accommodating manner immediately engage you. And, of course his fabulous menu of delicacies, bagels and bakery items keep bringing customers back to his restaurants (now two!) in droves. “Meet me at Mo’s” is the mantra of friends and business associates all through the week. Now, at his second location in Hallandale Beach at the site of the former Sage Deli, that slogan is emblazoned on the walls. Here, with his new enlarged wide-mouthed ovens, Mo’s bakers are able to produce hundreds of dozens of bagels a day. Mo Mohamed exemplifies the American Dream. He arrived from Egypt in 1984 as a young guy in pursuit of opportunity, with not too much more than hope in his pocket, a smile, and a great work ethic. He began working as a dishwasher, then a busboy in Pumpernik’s, then on Hallandale Beach Boulevard. In a short time, he moved up to learning the delicate slicing techniques of lox and deli meats, and within the seven years he was there, acquired skills in cooking, purchasing, and management. Building a reputation as a man who knows the deli business, which is unlike any other type of restaurant, Mo was approached by Harriet and Marie, owners of Bagel Cove to help them build their business. They offered him a junior partnership and a large increase in salary, plus a percentage of the profits. Mo says he owes a lot to them and is very grateful for the opportunities they offered him. In 1995, Jay Mazen, a regular at Bagel Cove, who became a dear friend, convinced Mo that with his knowledge and experience and working 12-15 hours a day, he should own his own deli restaurant. At the time, the owners of Delancey Deli, located on NE 187th Street, were looking to sell their restaurant, and with Jay’s encouragement, Mo bought it and renamed it Mo’s Bagels & Deli. With his reputation for delicious quality food, bagels and bakery items, Mo’s popularity grew. Mo credits the quality of his food to the fact that every menu item or bakery treat is made from scratch…. even the corned beef, roast beef, turkey and brisket. “Nothing at Mo’s is processed or pre-packaged,” he says. “Our kitchen and bakery are going full blast from early morning to late evening.” Mo also credits Paul Kruss, his partner and dear friend of 19 years, as well as his fabulous staff, many of whom have been with him for more than 30 years. ”The loyalty of my team is amazing,” says Mo. ”Between us, there is a partnership mentality in making Mo’s a success” He particularly credits Jean Miller, whom he considers a ‘brother’, Ernzier Previl (known as Mr. P) and Victor St. Pierre (known as Mr. Johnny), all specialists in deli preparation. They have all been with Mo since Pumpernik’s. St. Pierre has been with Mo for almost 37 years. “At that time, I worked for him,” says Mo. “He taught me everything in the kitchen from salads to slicing, and how to prepare good food. He was my teacher then, and is my colleague today.” In 2020, Sage Deli on Hallandale Beach Boulevard closed and RK, owners of the shopping center, approached Mo and Paul to take over the location. The partners believed it could ‘happen’ in Hallandale and Paul felt it could be ‘another home run for Mo’s.” Having been a great help from May to December last year, Mo’s 18-year-old son Amir, currently a student at FIU, was also encouraging, since he plans to work and learn the business with his dad as his mentor. Sage had a 47-year history in the area with many devoted customers, so Mo decided to hire former Sage cooks, employees, and especially Enel Mojean, the renowned bagel maker, who has been crafting specialty bagels for more than 35 years. Keeping a younger market in mind, Mo did a total renovation on the interior in a New York style industrial-chic motif, with a floorplan that allowed for an occupancy of 90 and plenty of outdoor seating. The large brick ovens in Mo’s Hallandale have been rebuilt and the deli steamers behind the counter have been enlarged. Mo added a refrigerated ‘Grab-n-Go’ case and keeps it stocked with fresh bagel sandwiches, cream cheese and Dr. Brown sodas. The menu in Hallandale is the same as the one in Aventura, including awesome deli sandwiches and salads. Like Aventura, the deli counter and bakery are a sight to savor. Eat-in or takeout service are equally special, and delivery is available through Uber, Door Dash and most other services. Looking to the future, Mo says that along with his long-time partner and advisor Paul, he hopes to open other locations. “Today, a great deli with the special staff it requires is more difficult to put together from scratch,” he says, “I’m thinking of smaller operations that focus on presenting great food, Kosher-style with a more limited menu, to attract a younger market that remembers how their “Bubby” used to cook. Through the years, Mo has watched changing trends, The bottom line of success in the restaurant business, according to Mo, is to give customers great tasting quality food in a location where they feel at home. That’s why in this part of South Florida, you will frequently hear them say “Meet me at Mo’s.” Mo’s Bagel & Deli 2780 NE 187th Street Aventura, Fl 33160 305-936-8555 Mo’s Bagel & Deli 800 E.

Stimulate Your Mind With Nutrition - Walnut Sunflower-Crusted Salmon With Honey-Lemon Grapes By Family Features Sep 10, 2025 Staying In Shape Goes Beyond Physical Fitness - Keeping Your Brain Health Top Of Mind Is Crucial For Your Overall Well-Being, Too. To Sharpen Your Mind, Consider These Everyday Ways For Prioritizing Brain Health. Stimulate Your Mind While "exercising" typically refers to running, walking or biking, remember you can give your brain a workout as well. Provide a boost for your brain with easy and enjoyable activities like reading, puzzles, math games like sudoku or artistic challenges such as drawing or crafting. Eat Healthy Foods Establishing a strong foundation for brain health can start in the kitchen by preparing healthy foods. Adding whole grains, fish, legumes, healthy fats and fruits and vegetables, including grapes and leafy greens, can encourage better brain wellness. Research suggests grapes help maintain a healthy brain. UCLA researchers, in a human study of elderly subjects with mild cognitive decline, found consuming 2 1/4 cups of grapes every day preserved healthy metabolic activity in regions of the brain associated with early-stage Alzheimer's Disease. This Walnut Sunflower-Crusted Salmon with Honey-Lemon Grapes is a flavor-packed way to add California grapes to the menu while simultaneously supporting brain and heart health. Salmon, rich in omega-3s, is topped with a crunchy walnut-sunflower seed crust for a savory, nutty bite. Pair with juicy grapes and onions marinated in honey and lemon for a burst of sweetness and tang to balance the rich salmon in this nutritious meal. Prioritize Mental Health Reducing anxiety may be easier said than done, but it starts with healthy everyday habits. Practice mindfulness by meditating or simply turning off distractions like Social Media. Get outside for fresh air or find a hobby you enjoy. Join a support group, reach out to loved ones and, if you feel you're experiencing negative mental health systems, talk with a mental health professional. Exercise Regularly Physical activities that increase your heart rate also increase blood flow to the brain and throughout your body. It doesn't have to be rigorous or strenuous - go for a walk around the neighborhood, dance in the living room, tend to your garden or enjoy a bike ride when the weather cooperates. Remember to replenish your energy and hydration - California grapes are an easy way to deliver both. Walnut Sunflower-Crusted Salmon with Honey-Lemon Grapes Servings: 4 Honey-Lemon Marinated Grapes: 2 Tablespoons of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil 3 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice 1 Tablespoon of Honey 1 Tablespoon of Fresh Basil 1/4 Teaspoon of Sea Salt Freshly Ground Pepper, to taste 3 Cups of halved Red Grapes from California 1/2 Cup of thinly sliced Red Onion 1 Small handful of Arugula Salmon: 3/4 Cup of Walnuts, chopped 2 Tablespoons of roasted, unsalted Sunflower Seeds 2 Teaspoons of Honey 2 Teaspoons of Spicy Brown or Dijon Mustard 1/4 Teaspoon of Sea Salt 4 Salmon fillets (6 ounces each) Heat the oven to 350˚ F and line the baking sheet with the parchment paper or lightly oiled foil. To make the Honey-Lemon Marinated Grapes: In a medium bowl, whisk the Oil, the Lemon Juice, the Honey, the Basil, the Salt and the Pepper, to taste. Stir in the Grapes, the Onion and the Arugula; set aside. To prepare the Salmon: In a small bowl, stir in the Walnuts, the Sunflower Seeds, the Honey, the Mustard and the Salt until a thick paste forms. Place the Salmon on a prepared baking sheet, skin side down, and press equal amounts of the Walnut Mixture over the surface of each one. Bake it for 20 minutes, or until the Salmon flakes easily with a fork. Set the Salmon on plates; using a slotted spoon, spoon marinated the Grape and the Onion Mixture over the Salmon and around the plates.
