Speechless Sundays: Observations from a pet friendly Realtor in Los Angeles, CA. Well, it was five years ago today that we picked up Holly from an animal rescue organization. The main photo is her in the back seat of my car.Many days and nights have passed, and she had to make the adjustment to hang out with three cats and her two humans.She learned to hang out with her humans and thought it was safer there:)Needless to say, she got comfortable over the weeks and months and years.Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

Monday Motivation: what or where is the top?
By Endre Barath, Jr., Realtor - Los Angeles Home Sales 310.486.1002
(Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties)
" Men and women are limited not by the place of their birth, not by the color of their skin, but by the size of their hope." John JohnsonThis message is the beginning of Chapter One of Zig Ziglar's book called Over the Top. What a powerful quote hence I thought I would share here today.Let me share another part of this first Chapter of Zig Ziglar's book:"Fifty two percent of the CEO's of the Fortune 500 companies are from lower-middle-class or poor families and 80 per cent of the millionaires in America are first-generation millionaires. Opportunity is alive and well.Now with that said this book was written in 1997. if you want my take, nothing has changed.As Zig Ziglar said way back then I am in agreement with him " Is the top a destination, or is it really a journey?" I believe and al...

Well Debe Maxwell, CRS posted a recipe about chicken Gnocchi, I thought what a great recipe let me see if I can incorporate it and make my own version.Well with that said, I had baked chicken breast from the other day aka leftovers. I always have the ingredients she listed, then I thought maybe I should add some Mushrooms and some Sun-Dried tomatoes to bring it up to the next level.I also added some chicken stock as well as some heavy cream at the end.Needless to say, I chose to use a different pasta. Her recipe was great, but I needed to bring it up to the next level:))Anyway,https://activerain.com/droplet/HY77 check out her recipe and look at my changes, no pepper or paprika other than that all the same:)Debe Maxwell, CRS thank you for the inspiration:)Wishing you a safe and heal...

If you are a fan of true crime, specifically of serial killers, this is a must-read book for you.Terror in Ypsilanti John Norman Collins Unmaskedby Gregory A. Fourniera book review.As a bit of background, I seldom read non-fiction books. That said, this book was gifted to me by one of Diane’s Goodreads online reader friends,a woman who hails from Michigan and who knew that I attendedEastern Michigan University (EMU) for two semesters from 1972-1973. While I was waiting for my US Citizenship papers and subsequently hearing whether I would be accepted into the U.S. Air Force Academy or the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, I chose to go to EMU on a scholarship and grants rather than hang around my parents' house. Yes, I was always up for an adventure back then!When I arrived as...

Wordless Wednesdays: Life of Holly in a pet friendly home... As a pet friendly Realtor in Los Angeles, I not only talk a good game, but I practice what I preach.Now with that said how many homes can show pictures of their dog being sandwiched by two cats one on each side. Now in all fairness she does not seem that thrilled but clearly does not mind.On a side note, they all end up in bed with us and I am glad we have a King Sized bed.Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

The Exile by Allan Folsom, a book review by Endre Barath, Jr. a Beverly Hills RealtorDo youlike to read? Do you love a good page turner, a book that will make you want to stay up all night and hole up all weekend to read? If yes, then have I got a book recommendation for you. The Exile is my fourth book by author Allan Folsom; the first three I read wereThe Day After Tomorrow,The Machiavelli CovenantandDay of Confession. I loved all of them. For no good reason, I went on a book sabbatical, just not having the motivation or the inclination to read. With a houseful of books, this was not a good thing. Thanks to my Active Rain friend and author, Ricki Eichler McCallum, I got back to reading again with her two novels Snow FireandSnow Fire Revenge and Justice.Which brings...

Oh, and do not forget a little garlic and some onions ( I love sweet onions)While you are baking the fish, the vegies are boiling in bone broth.Then the mashed potatoes were from flakes so easy to make:)Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

Throwback Thursdays: sometimes I have to check on my Real Estate Signs...Sometimes, I find it is important to take a tour and look at my Real Estate Signs. Some neighborhoods I do not even put up a sign because I know that the neighbors think by knocking down my sign, I will not be able to sell it and they do not have to worry about someone building near their home...Yes, it does sound strange when we have all the internet portals some neighbors still think that only the sign will sell the property. How naive, anyway, then again there are other neighbors who are totally different. They call me and tell me someone vandalized your sign check it out.All depends on the personalities, and I am grateful for the kind neighbors. Some even tell me... Well, when we are ready to sell, we will be r...

Monday Observations: quotes from Julia Child.....

(Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties)
Most of you who read my posts, know I focus on Real Estate, and the rest of the time I focus on cooking and eating good food.When we visit our doctor for our annual checkups, we discuss, that there is hardly any salt on the menu and there is always a balanced gourmet meal on the table.Well, there are times when there is nothing but a good healthy soup. Might not be gourmet, but very tasty and healthy."...I think one of the terrible things today is that people have this deathly fear of food: fear of eggs, say, or fear of butter. Most doctors feel you can have a little bit of everything..."I so agree with JULIA Child she was spot on with this observation."...the more you know, the more you can create. There's no end to imagination in the kitchen..."Julia Child's quote is so spot on, I kn...

Speechless Sundays: Crescent Rolls with a twist
By Endre Barath, Jr., Realtor - Los Angeles Home Sales 310.486.1002
(Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties)
I had some left-over Fried Onion Pieces from Trader Joe's since Thanksgiving, hence I searched high and low on the internet for some recipes. Well, I found a Crescent Roll recipe. I happen to have a roll in the fridge, so I made it into my version.Real simple take the Crescent rolls and place some Friend Onion Pieces on the dough and roll it up. I used a lot less than what the recipe called for just to be cautions and I am glad I did.Then the recipe called for an egg wash on top, I did not think that was necessary instead I chose to melt some unsalted butter and poured a bit over the Crescent Rolls and sprinkled some more Friend Onion Pieces and bake it for 12 minutes on 425 degrees and all I can say is Diane approved it. BTW the dinner was easy too, post coming soon:))Wishing you a ...

Wishing everyone who reads this post a Happy Lunar New Year again... this post was inspired by a comment Laura Cerrano had to say. I wrote a post about the Lunar New Year if you missed it here is a link to it. https://activerain.com/droplet/HX8rAnyway, our friend Laure posted either on FB or Instagram that you need to put some Oranges out for the New Year and she had listed numbers what they mean, 8 was for prosperity and 9 was for longevity. I will not tell you what I picked nor what Diane has picked. Needless to say here is the bowl and you guess or count how many oranges are in the bowl. Not as exciting as Wayne Martin quizzes but at least you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right:)Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments. If you are looking for...

Market snapshot of the Los Angeles, CA 90020 zip code... as most of my regular readers know I follow a handful of zip codes very closely since I have clients who ask about them regularly. I would be remiss if I did not share this here today.I have often been asked in what part of Los Angeles is the 90020-zip code? Well, this time I thought I would share what the Post Office had to say:Stats and Demographics for the 90020 ZIP CodeZIP code 90020 is located in southernCaliforniaand covers a slightly less than average land area compared to other ZIP codes in the United States. It also has an extremely large population density.The people living in ZIP code 90020 are primarily Asian.
