Having the right tools is critical not just in real estate but in cooking as well.... Tonight's meal was interrupted with a few technical issues, nothing that I could not overcome thanks to having the right tools.Well, the Pizza Stone cracked in the middle of my baking.... Keep in mind my meal was inspired by Debe Maxwell, CRS  about the Maryland Cauliflower Crabcake Pizza Recipe. Since Diane loves Crabcakes from Maryland thought this would be a great way to finish up her birthday vacation. Anyway, as you can see the pizza stone decided to retire tonight:)  The prepping took a bit longer, but I anticipated it and planned for it, based on the recipe.... The most important part Diane loved the result and felt bad that my Pizza Stone decided to retire:) Now all things considered despite th...

Wordless Wednesday: the Birthday celebration continues... well tonight I decided to do Maryland style crabcakes, with a small lobster tail. The frozen potatoes were baked at the same time as the vegies.... one green zucchini and some mushrooms covered with parmesan cheese and olive oil....Yes, I also  made clarified butter with infused garlic and thyme for the lobster tails. Yes and let's not forget, I made a new version of tartar sauce for the crab cakes. Keep in mind this was after having a flat tire and opening another escrow to name a few today.  Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

The countdown has started Friday for Diane's Birthday... she started receiving gifts in the mail. I figured I would start it early too. Now with that said the package from Shari's Berries arrived. Gratefully I also ordered different flavors of Pretzels  she is more into that than chocolate covered Strawberries. Needless to say, we needed to have the formal celebration and I did not want to order a cake. Oh well, so we have been having one Strawberry after dinner.  Lesson learned stick with cupcakes and pretzels:) Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

What are you making for dinner tonight? Diane asked as we were driving home from Pasadena? Needless to say we were both hungry heading back from Vroman's Bookstore. So the conversation turned to would you like Peruvian Scallops? She wondered if I had some fresh ones and broke the news that they were frozen. The next question was would you like rice or pasta? Funny question why ask an Italian pasta or rice.Well, you guessed it was pasta. I did not have pre-made sauce, so I had to scramble and only spent two hours reducing the sauce and adding leftover caramelized onions I felt safe it would be fine. Then I added frozen peas to sweeten it more and of course the Peruvian Scallops.Once she was close to finishing feeding the animal farm, I asked for a 15-minute notice. Yes so, I can boil the...

I made a Clam Corn Chowder! Have you ever made one like this? In all fairness I saw a recipe on the interned about a creamy Corn and Clam Chowder ..... and after I read the recipe... I just said Hmm not a good idea. Nevertheless, it gave me the inspiration to make my version.I reached out to one of my favorite Chef's cookbooks: 50 Chowders ... by Jasper White I looked at about five or six of his various recipes and based on that I created my own.The result was great and Diane who is one of my harshest critics was very pleased with it.So if you want to do this it takes a bit of effort:1. 4 fresh corns2. 2 lbs. or about 9 large clams3. about 4 garlic cloves4. about three cups of Bone Broth5. about a quarter jar of clam juice or to taste6. one onion or in my case a scoop of caramelized oni...

I took this photo  above on November 4th 2022 as I was walking Holly on our evening walk... today it would have been a bright Sunny Photo had I taken it at the same spot. So with that said it is interesting to look back at what we saw at the time we happened to take a picture to commemorate the moment.I was asked by a potential seller do I put signs up to advertise my land listings? This was a while back too... I said it depends where the listing is. Personally, it is good for me to advertise my name and the listing... but some places the neighbors are the problem, and no sign should be posted. He agreed and I ended up getting two listings from him. One with a sign and one without both sold!  Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments. If you are looking for...

Wordless Wednesdays: Wow another amazing Full Moon...Since who, knows how long, I would guess thousands of years, man has been fascinated with seeing a full moon. Hence, I thought I might share a few pictures and quotes. Hope my new phone which I should get in the near term will take better pictures at night especially of the moon. This moon is spectacular and the photos do not do justice to it."Shoot for the Moon - even if you miss it, you will land among the stars." — Les Brown"Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth." — Budha “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” — Neil Armstrong Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

It has been a while since I posted an update on the Los Feliz Market snapshot of the 90027-zip code of Los Angeles, CA. Now with that said:Los Angeles, CA 90027Wed Aug 30 2023This week the median list price for Los Angeles, CA 90027 is $2,999,000 with the market action index hovering around 39. This is less than last month's market action index of 40. Inventory has increased to 35.As most of you know I like Altos Research they give accurate assessments of the pulse of the market. I always get asked: How is the Real Estate Market? Well, they know I am a Realtor and do not hide it. So with that said In the last few weeks the market has achieved a relative stasis point in terms of sales to inventory. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone so watch cha...

Our new favorite Seafood Restaurant: Saltie Girl... Diane and I went there about a month or so ago and loved it. East Coast Gourmet Seafood Restaurant in Los Angeles on the Sunset Strip. Literally on Sunset Blvd.The first time we tried to pick a few items and we knew we needed to come back and try some more meals on the menu. Well, we went and go figure we still could not eat all what we were intrigued about. Now with that said there is another trip scheduled to have lunch at https://www.saltiegirl.com/Check out the website the food and the service is out of this world. In case you are wondering about the main photo that is a clam chowder elevated to the next level. Yes I ate it selfishly:)The second photo is of a Lobster Roll there was a lot of lobster in the meal take my word for it. ...

Do you have clients or customers? Having been a Realtor in two states and two urban markets (Boston, MA prior to my relocation to Beverly Hills and the Greater Los Angeles area, CA ) I always had and have clients. In my opinion, when I shop at CVS, Ralphs, Trader Joe's, Bristol Farms and other stores, I am a customer. People who reach out to me, on the other hand, are potential clients.People with whom I've worked over the past 25 years are repeat clients. Clients are top priority to whom I provide the best possible service.  This outlook, in my opinion, translates to repeat clients over time.  There are some clients that I also call friends because we realized over the course of doing business that we have common interests, such as being pet friendly, appreciation for good food and win...

In real estate, as in life, you need to have reference points. What are your reference points?As most or all of us know, for historians and keepers of time, reference points have always been BC and AD, i.e., Before Christ was born and Anno Domini, after Christ was born.I certainly have my own personal key life dates that I consider reference points, and I'm sure you do as well.  For me, the biggest ones are when my parents and I left communist Hungary, when we entered the United States, when I went to West Point, The United States Military Academy, when I left the U.S. Army, when I met Diane, when I became a Realtor in Boston, MA, when we relocated to California and when we bought our first (and current) home.  All of these are powerful personal memories that are fondly etched in my bra...

Wordless Wednesdays: what did you have for dinner tonight?... well, I made a Tortellini pasta with mushrooms, tomatoes and leftover chicken breasts.
