Anytime one prepares for a big meal, you need to plan ahead, and prioritize. Just like in Real Estate, you need to plan ahead and prioritize what needs to be done early and what can be done later.Well with that said no I did not buy the can that looks like it came from a dog food container.Her it is truly an easy recipe:    1. 12 oz or so of freshly washed cranberries and the ones that needed to be tossed have been.    2. 3/4 cup of fresh squeezed orange juice & 1/4 of water    3. 1/2 cup of sugar of your choice    4. One cinnamon stick    5. pinch of salt    6. slice of orange peelCook for about 10-15 minutes to reduce the liquid and pop 75-80% of the cranberries.Let it cool and put it in the fridge to be served in 24-48 hours at the Thanksgiving Dinner. Wishing you a safe and healthy ...

As you know, November is gratefulness month, we all take time out of our busy lives and let everyone who is in our lives know how grateful we are for them and what they have done for us to feel so grateful.I try to be grateful all the time for what we have, not just in November, but all year around. The abundance that allows me to eat and drink well and create fantastic meals just as an example.Also, I am grateful for the pets we have and that we can provide them with great healthcare and good quality of life.I love Thanksgiving and what it stands for so with that said had to reach out to what Britannica had to say: "...The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating “Thanksgivings,” days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a dr...

Here is a bit of Los Angeles history or should I say a tid bit of Los Angeles history.Have you ever been to the corner of Riverside Drive and Los Feliz Boulevard in Los Angeles? This part of Los Angeles is considered Los Feliz.It is walking distance to the Los Angeles River and most Angelinos consider this the shrine to the "Father of the Los Angeles Water System", if you said William Mulholland, you were right.The William Mulholland Memorial Fountain was designed by Walter S Claberg, and was dedicated in 1940 five years after Mullholand's death. If you decide one day to stop by and if you look at the Granite Bolder you will read the following inscription: To William Mulholland1855 - 1935A penniless Irish immigrant boy,Who rose by the force of his industry,Intelligence, integrity and in...

Wordless Wednesdays: Perspective... Most people who visited us have always been amazed at the size of our lemons.We have given lemons as gifts to anyone who likes them. For the sake of perspective, I placed a large egg next to it so you can appreciate the size difference.Some people are surprised and amazed and ask us what our secret is. Our answer is, we have no idea. All we do is water the lemon tree as we do our other citrus trees.No, we are not hiding anything, it is simple, nature is good to us. The back yard gets mostly afternoon sun until sunset. In the morning the lemon three is mostly in the shade. We seldom fertilize the tree. In ten years maybe three times I can remember us fertilizing.Anyway, hope these photos put things in perspective. Really our lemons are much larger than...

The other day, I decided to make baked polenta with shitake and oyster mushrooms. Well not just with mushrooms, but with Parmesan and Fontina cheese as well.The ingredients:1.  I used 3 cups of seafood stock, because I planned on doing seafood as a side dish. So, with that said vegetable stock or chicken stock would work as well. Alternatively, not my favorite way you can use water and salt.2.  One cup of good quality dried polenta aka cornmeal.3.  Two or three tablespoon of olive oil 4.  One teaspoon or more of dried sage5.  A handful of sliced mushrooms in my case Shitake & Oyster mushrooms.6.  About three tablespoons of shredded Parmesan & about three tablespoons of shredded Fontina cheese.Directions:While you are heating your oven to about 425 degrees, in a medium saucepan, bring th...

Harold & Belle’s brings Creole cuisine to Los Angeles. Located at 2920 W Jefferson Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90018 it brings a little Bourbon Street right to the heart of L.A. Before I switched to a vegan lifestyle, I went to Harold & Belle’s a bit more. I stopped because there wasn’t much other than a salad on the menu and personally, I’m a vegan that likes to eat more than a salad. 🤨 But I took a peek back at the menu and was pleasantly surprised to discover that they have definitely added vegan-friendly options since I last visited. Did I just end a massive argument with my husband over where to eat? We can add this one back to the rotation. Sign me up for Po’ Boy sandwiches, red beans and rice, and oyster mushrooms! Vegan food in Los Angeles…Yes! #dinnerrestaurantslosangeles #placestoea...

Happy Halloween! Wishing you lots of fun and candy... as most of my readers know we have limited the interactions with strangers since the Pandemic Shut down.Hence, I decided a few years ago to drop off the candy to the neighborhood kids that we know and interact with over the years.Needless to say, there are fewer and fewer kids doing the Trick or Treating in our neighborhood. Ironically the neighborhood is very into decorating their homes and or their front yards. Well, here are a few pictures for your enjoyment. Hope you had a fantastic Halloween and ate a lot of candy. Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

Wordless Wednesdays: Purple Carrots ... seems like a few weeks ago Bob "RealMan" Timm  and I were going back and forth about Purple Carrots.Now with that said I decided to post a few pictures here.If you Google Purple Carrots, you will find they do exist. I like them for the visual effect of mixing with the other colors. Interestingly there are health benefits of the purple variety too, since they are rich in antioxidants. BTW there are Purple Asparagus too:)Anyway, thought you would enjoy this fun post. Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

 On October 20th every year, chefs around the globe get recognized for the delectable art they create in the kitchen. So, in honor of those who have sliced and diced their way to culinary glory, I thought it would be a great opportunity to share a few words from the pros.“Furnish your kitchen with the most solid and workmanlike equipment you can find. Keep your knives ever sharp and - Toujours bon Appetit!"Julia Child“Japanese chefs believe our soul goes into our knives once we start using them. You wouldn’t put your soul in a dishwasher!”Masaharu Morimoto Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

Monday Motivations: again, wisdom from Marcus Aurelius.... ....The salvation of life lies in seeing each object in its essence and its entirety, discerning both the material and the casual: in applying one's whole soul to doing right and speaking the truth. There remains only the enjoyment of living a linked succession of good deeds, with not the slightest gap between them..."I find this quote so powerful, and it truly resonates with me. Well, let me leave you with one more quote that is powerful and equally resonates with me. "...The light of a lamp shines on and does not lose its radiance until it is extinguished. Will then the truth, justice, and self-control which fuel you fail before your own end?..."Now feel free to leave comments and your thoughts to this post.  Wishing you a saf...

Happy Autumn, happy Fall to my clients and friends...Imagine that the first week of October is behind us and in less than a week we will be midway through the month. You've likely read the media’s blasting about the Fed Chairman's interest rate reduction. These headlines, while not necessarily accurate, have bought many of the fence sitting savvy buyers into purchase mode.  Hence, I've noticed an increase in inventory. I have added three additional listings to my real estate inventory and am currently in escrow on two properties.  As I've said before about today's market, my advice is don't wait it out, the serious buyers are out there now.  If you have questions, please reach out to me to get unfiltered straight answers. I've noticed this year that more homes have gotten into the Hallo...
