ca: Recipe: Miso Beef Short Ribs - 08/28/12 08:56 AM
I originally created this marinade as an attempt to duplicate the "Miso Black Cod" that I love at the Japanese Restaurant, Kappo Nami Nami, on Castro Street in Mountain View, CA.  The marinade turned out great and I needed to figure out what else to marinate to use up the container of Miso I bought from Ava's Downtown Market on Castro Street.
 I tried this marinade with Korean style cut beef short ribs, also from Ava's Downtown Market.   These short ribs are very thin and that lends itself to soaking up the marinade flavor. They were a big hit so … (4 comments)

ca: Which Picture is worth a 1000 Words? - 02/09/11 04:18 PM
 Which Picture is worth a 1000 Words?
A friend, who just happens to be a client, found an interesting disconnect between a Realtor's photographic presentation of an MLS Listing and photographic references provided by other internet based content providers. Consider this picture.
 

It is from the MLS. A nice composed picture of a current listing. A picture taken for the explicit purpose of showing the featured property in the best possible light. A sales tool.
Now the same listed property.

The featured picture is Google's drive by shooting of the same property.
The potential disconnect is obvious. A perspective buyer … (44 comments)

ca: A great trip to the beach with my son: Wordless Wednesday - 11/10/10 12:13 PM
In the Fall in Northern California you never know what the weather will be like.  Today is cold and overcast and just last Wednesday we were having a little heat wave so I drove over the mountain to go spend a couple of hours with my son on the beach in Half Moon Bay, CA.  I thought this shot turned out pretty good considering I took it with my iPhone.  I loved how the fog was moving in to shore

ca: Proof we have Autumn in Mountain View, CA - 10/20/10 03:59 AM
We do not get many signs it is Autumn in Mountain View, CA but I think this provides proof we get some
I walked down to Castro Street (our downtown area) in Mountain View, CA the other night with my son and I saw this beautiful tree in full color.  
We don't have many trees around here that change colors so it is a treat when you see one.  Autumn is my favorite season and we do not get many reminders of Autumn in CA so I really cherish the few signs of the season I do see.

Saturday Night, Enjoy Live Jazz and try a New place to eat on Murphy Street in Sunnyvale CA
We often go to Murphy Street in Downtown Sunnyvale CA for dinner. Last Saturday night we encountered "Jazz & Beyond" after we had already eaten. 
However, this Saturday night we are going to go back and take advantage of the opportunity to sit at a table on Murphy Street in front of the Jazz band and order from ANY restaurant on Murphy Street.  No compromises!  I can eat Mexican and he can eat Thai or whatever else looks good when we sit down.  We have … (3 comments)
