Today is National Flag Day: Have you displayed your flag in front of your home today?Let me give a bit of history about the National Flag Day: Did you know that today represents the commemoration of the adoption of the Flat Act of 1777 which the Second Continental Congress passed a Resolution that the Flag should be, well let me just quote it: “…. resolved, that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white: that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation…”Well fast forward to 1916 President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day.Then finally on August 3rd, 1949 National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.Most Patriotic Americans display the Flag toda...

Observations by a Beverly Hills Realtor:  Politics and Politicians have and will affect the Real Estate MarketHaving been a Realtor for over 27 years, I find it very important to understand all the factors that influence and affect the real estate market at local, state and national levels.  Obviously, some of these factors come about thanks directly to politics and politicians. To illustrate this point, I'll give a few examples.In 2015, then California Governor Jerry Brown introduced removing grass lawns from homes. The goal was to remove 50 million square feet of grass and replace it with rocks and/or fake grass. The idea was to help alleviate the state's drought situation by conserving water.  Los Angeles Mayor at the time, Eric Garcetti, was proud to report that LA was leading the s...

Many times, we are looking for something easy to make for dinner. I asked Diane as she was driving home from her office in Century City: How hungry are you? The answer was medium, so I figured might as well make Twice Baked Potatoes, with vegies and a sausage. It was a winner:) Everything was baked so an easy cleanup dinner, keep that in mind:)))   Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

Some of you might ask why does he want to know if we play chess? Just to be clear, it has been decades since I played... I find this is a Motivational Monday post to share with those who read my writings. Did you know that chess is played around the globe by millions of players? The best part is, that it does not matter what your political or religious views are, the game has the same rules. Many boundaries are crossed with this game it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor if you are same sex or not. It does not matter if you are handicapped or not, everyone can play the game.Did you know that Ray Charles admitted once that Chess was his passion?  Just to be clear, you do not need to be physically strong all you need to do is to be able to think. This question came to my mind, since w...

Are you familiar with the Wounded Warrior Project?  As a very brief synopsis, Charity Navigator rates this organization at a 97% for transparency and 89% for financial handling.  No less than 70% of the financial donations go directly to the Wounded Warriors in one form or another.  I chose to donate to this organization last year when a veteran relative of Diane's passed away suddenly last year.  We gave a generous donation under my name, and they have been sending me gentle gifts ever since. Earlier last week, the Wounded Warrior Project sent me a very touching letter that accompanied a Challenge Coin.  Many Americans who have not served in the military have never seen a Challenge Coin, let alone hold one in their hand.  It came to be as certain military commanders sometimes issued Ch...

This recipe was inspired by Debe Maxwell, CRS  thank you for the inspiration. My friend you know me well I would have to do some modifications. So, with that said. I took your recipe and added more spinach and could not resist but add some wild mushrooms to it as well.Anyway, check out the photos and let me know what you think I put a link to your recipe too.  Yes all the other ingredients were the same. The difference was I cut the chicken breast in half and put one on the bottom and then the stuffing on top and then added the other chicken breast cut in half on top and the leftover stuffing I put on the top of the chicken and backed it for 35 minutes or so at 400 degrees. Anyway, check out Debe Maxwell, CRS  recipe and compare the modifications... bon appetite.    https://activerain.c...

Have you heard of the book "Holigent Solution" by A. Nicholas Frank? I have not either. It is an amazing book. Many years ago, I received an Active Rain referral to sell a duplex here in Los Angeles. I was thrilled to have the opportunity, FYI the sellers were three siblings living in three different states. I just finished showing the vacant duplex and an older couple pulled up as I was locking up the property. The driver asked if they could go look at it. Needless to say, I said sure. It turned out they ended up buying the duplex as an investment property.Three days before we closed, he and his wife did a final walkthrough, and everything was fine. He in turn turned around and gave me a book. I had no idea he wrote it and it was personalized to me. How amazing is that.Just for backgro...

Just for fun: This post was inspirited by Debe Maxwell, CRS she wrote a post about receiving stemless glasses to drink wine by the lake. Needless to say, Diane I do not have stemless glasses.Diane did not want to be left behind and with that said she wanted to have her wine in a stemless glass. So, with that said I had to improvise.Debe, just so that you know she loved drinking her Pinot Gris from the glass. Wishing you lots of fun drinking out of your stemless glass:)))Let me know what you think Debe Maxwell, CRS Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

Speechless Sunday: a quick appetizer before dinner... well sometimes dinner takes longer to make and Diane let me know she was hungry, so with that said I thought to quickly make something easy to munch on. Try it, it is easy:The ingredients: fresh dill, capers, smoked salmon, and I did not have anything but veggie cream cheese instead of creme fraiche and of course crackers.It was a winner it kept the hunger in check.Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

How to live a healthy life? This question is often asked, my answer is easy eat healthy, drink healthy and walk your dog for a little exercise.Now with that said Diane went to work in the office the other day, and they had a huge meal for her. She told me she was pleasantly full and wanted to have a light dinner. She said she had some leftover seasoned rice.Hence, I put my thinking cap on and let me know what you think of this meal?  Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

Lobster Bisque Sunday night and leftover Lobster Bisque Monday night... well Sunday afternoon and evening I worked my you know what off, to make the requested Lobster Bisque.The challenge requires a bit of manual labor and time. The Shells have to be baked for about 35 minutes or more at 400 degrees.Then you have to make the vegetables, sauté them for about 12-15 minutes.Then you have to add the wine, water and stock and add the shells.... now you need to be patient 1.5 hrs. at the minimum to give the liquid a lobster flavor. Let's not forget all the seasoning and a can of San Marzano tomatoes.... about 28 ounces or so.Once you are there you add the little bit about 1/3 cup of rice and the leftover lobster meat no one wants to work at... and thirty minutes later you have the perfect Lob...

Not your average Saturday Night Dinner for this Beverly Hills Realtor... can you make a guess? Well, if you guessed Boiled Lobster, you were right. Diane did not want anything too fancy; she had a craving for ordinary boiled lobster. Those of you who know me even a boiled meal has to be done to perfection. Hence I reached out to my trusted New England Cookbook by Jasper White. There is a right way to boil lobster too.Just to be clear Diane and I each had a Two Pound Lobster from James Hook & Co from Boston, MA.Just to be clear the shells were saved for Sunday's meal if you guessed Lobster Bisque you were right:)) Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.
