On a gorgeous fall afternoon a couple of Sundays ago, David and I, along with our toy poodle Soapy, traveled to Sylvania, Ohio for our monthly visit to Sweet Shalom Tea Room. The theme for October…”Oct-TEA-Ber Fest”…a fun twist of the Bavarian tradition of Oktoberfest. The menu offerings consisted of an array of tasty German-style foods.
