Well as promised my first meal from the cook book:  Pasta Modern with my variation. Their recipe was called "Fragula con arselle" the teeny tiny pasta with clams.Well, the only substitution to the recipe was instead of using Fragula Pasta from Sicily I had M'hamsa Couscous not as big and not as mushy as Israeli Couscous.so, with that that said let's go to the ingredients:     1.  2lbs of very small clams (scrubbed & cleaned)      2.   little bit of extra virgin olive oil (about three tablespoons)      3.  three garlic cloves chopped (toast it in the olive oil)      4.  a cup of dry white while for this occasion I used a Sicilian Pinot Grigio (any                 will do)       5.  about five or six tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil       6. about 12 oz of couscous       7. ...

 As I was looking for a special pasta recipe for a future meal, I was researching my cookbooks.  I found these two cookbooks in my library. Needless to say, there are so many other recipes I discovered, that will need to add to my list to make.  Shall we say especially in these two cookbooks. Although as busy I am with real estate, and for which I am grateful for it, there are so many meals I will have to make in the near future now that I found these recipes. Something to look forward to and enjoy.At the same time, I will need to read some of the memories of Sophia Loren's not just her recipes.Just to give you a little forewarning there will be more recipe posts in the near future as I will make them. Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments. If you are l...

      It is hard to believe that fifty years have passed since the final American military forces left Vietnam and our remaining prisoners of war were returned. I still see myself glued to the TV in the West Point Lounge watching people scrambling out of the American Embassy in Hanoi. I was a Plebe aka. Freshman. During this conflict, political controversy and disagreement were sadly misdirected toward those who had admirably served our nation. I still recall watching and seeing the protests that were against those who served in the Viet Nam War.   The soldiers who served received neither a hero’s welcome nor appreciation for their service that they deserved. Instead, they were accused as baby killers, murderers and all they received was anger and hate from those who did not know any b...

The book "People who Love to Eat Are Always the Best People" is next to me in my home office. It is hands reach to the other ones like Marcus Aurelius, John Wooden and a few others.When I need to relax after a crazy day or take a break I reach out to my favorite people. Well tonight it was Julia Child."...To be a good cook you have to have a love of the good, a love of hard work, and love of creating..." " ...My the things I cheapened by using fat instead of butter, or this instead of that, all for a few cents of economy..."All I can say is she is spot on with both comments and needless to say the older I get the more I follow this motto, do not save a few cents for superb quality. After all you do not need to use a lot of the more expensive items... just a little and it brings your mea...

I love John Wooden and his lifetime of observations. I keep the little book next to me and when I have a moment to come up for air. I read a line or two from his book.So, with that said let me share some of his wisdom here: " ... a father and mother must be there to set an example for their children, strong and positive models of what to be and how to behave when the youngsters grow up....""...being a role model is the most powerful form of educating. Youngsters need good models more than they need critics. It is one of a parent's greatest responsibilities and opportunities..." Now with that said I was lucky to have parents who were great role models, and my father did not neglect me because hew so busy working, he always made time for me.      Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I ...

What a great question:  Where do the healthiest eating squirrels live? Los Angeles of course... Gloria Todor  and I were bantering about this very subject just the other day. So, without further ado look at these pictures, let me know where I am going wrong? Our backyard squirrels and I used to compete about our Tangerine crop. Now we are competing about the orange crop. The way I can tell our citrus is starting to get ripe is when I see the evidence our squirrels leave i.: the citrus peals.Now in all fairness I do not mind them eating the fruit, I just get annoyed when they waste to fruit. Often times I converse with my neighbors who have avocado trees, and they have the same stories to share.Well see for yourself. Now all I can say is not many states can provide such healthy nourishme...

Seldom do I write a Throwback Thursday Post, but this was worth it. The animal farm is saying who is coming in now?? That being Wiley, Jack & JillFour years ago, Holly joined our family. She decided that this was a good home to hang out. The animal farm was pretty open on accepting her. Not the perfect family member, but she will do was the consensus.   Well see the photos and you tell me. Yes, I agree Holly and Jill needed to warm up to each other a bit. Clearly all is well four years later:)   Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

This post was inpired by Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP  and Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist  to participate in this month's Active Rain Challange, so with that said....We've all been there - after the closing, many of our buyer clients are very excited and some even want a picture next to the ‘For Sale /SOLD Yard Sign’.  I think this is especially the case with first-time home buyers and this is exactly the scenario I was in as the buyer's agent nine years ago.  Alas, there was no photo op in this situation! In typical closing fashion, I received a call from the Escrow Officer saying “Congratulations, Endre, let your buyer know we recorded, and she is now officially a homeowner.”  I was thrilled for my first-time buyer as I knew how excited she was.  My next call was t...

Probably one of the easiest one pot dish, you can make. If you have leftover chicken breasts easy to make.12-16 ounces of Orzo (Italian pasta) toa.st with garlic and butter for about three to four minutes (2-3 cloves of chopped garlic)then add sundried tomatoes about a cup or so with a couple tablespoons of tomato paste.Add about 2 cups of milk and about 3-4 cups of vegetable or chicken stock Add the leftover chicken breast chopped, to bite size. Let it boil and then reduce and stir consistently for even flavors and even cooking of the Orzo. Add fresh baby spinach and a cup or so of shredded parmesan cheese. If needed add more vegetable stock and let it reduce to almost no liquid. Let me know how you liked it. Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments. If y...
