- 06/03/23 10:43 PM
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 … (10 comments)

endre barath: Have you heard of the 'Holigent Solution' by A. Nicholas Frank?
- 05/29/23 10:25 PM
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 … (39 comments)

endre barath: Speechless Sunday: Repurposing is important.
- 05/28/23 10:19 PM
Speechless Sunday: Repurposing is important. Having grown up with parents who have been up and down the economic ladder, I learned that repurposing is important.
Perfect example is this fantastic Jar great to get the benefit of what is inside and then all you have to do is clean it out and is perfect for other benefits as well.
Just ask anyone who read my post you can even use it as a stemless wine glass:))

endre barath: “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius is my go-to book any time of the day.
- 05/27/23 08:45 PM
“Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius is my go-to book any time of the day.
As some of you that know me well are aware, I keep the book “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius within hand reach on my desk. I find inspiration, solace and peace whenever I read a few quotes or chapters from this book. You may or may not know that this Roman Emperor had no intention of publishing his great philosophical diary; instead, Marcus Aurelius wrote this for himself.
It reminds me of being on our Active Rain platform. We write for various reasons, sometimes to get future business and sometimes to get … (67 comments)

Memorial Day: Remember & Honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice....
As most of you know Memorial Day is a federal holiday which honors and remembers the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U. S. Military. It is observed every year on the last Monday of May.
Seems like almost every year I write a post and the message is always the same please do not confuse Memorial Day with Veterans Day. I decided this year to write it sooner than later to get the word out.
Here are some interesting historical facts about Memorial Day:

endre barath: Just for fun: this post was inspired by Debe Maxwell
- 05/25/23 10:40 PM
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

endre barath: Speechless Sunday: a quick appetizer before dinner...
- 05/21/23 10:20 PM
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. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, focused and goal-oriented Realtor in the Beverly Hills … (19 comments)

Market Observations by a Beverly Hills Realtor: Endre Barath, Jr.
We are living in very interesting times to say the least. The greater Los Angeles real estate inventory has been shrinking year over year. Generally speaking, that translates to rising home prices. Now to complicate matters there are fewer buyers in the market due to interest rate increases. Hence there is a tug-a-war between the few sellers and the few buyers.
Hence, I find that it is very important to watch the inventory, the pending as well as the daily fluctuation of the interest rates. This combination makes it critically important to price … (32 comments)

- 05/15/23 10:30 PM
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 … (24 comments)

- 05/14/23 09:37 PM
New England Clam Chowda from James Hook Boston, MA. Some of you were trying to guess what was after the Clam aka Steamer Appetizer on Friday.
Well sorry for the late reveal. The second course was the New England Clam Chowda aka Chowder.
It was quite delicious, and I decided to bake some shrimp and have some of the leftover rice and veggies from the Jean-Georges Vongerichten meal from the day before.
So sorry there were no pictures of the Chowder & the Shrimp, Diane and I were famished and ate them without sharing photos. I know I will have to order and make … (16 comments)

- 05/13/23 11:17 PM
I was devastated to read this: The lauded chef and restaurateur is closing his Jean-Georges restaurant in Beverly Hills, Eater L.A. reported on Monday. The fine- dining spot inside the Waldorf Astoria hotel will be calling it quits this week, with a new restaurant already slated to take over the space starting May 12.
So, with that said I pulled out my cookbook on Wednesday and decided to make a meal from his cookbook. Yes, you guessed it Diane was thrilled. to get a Michelin rated meal on a weeknight such as this past Thursday. All thanks to reading this sad news.

Friday Night Appetizer: are you ready for the main course? Well, I thought it was time to make another nice meal.... I should post about yesterday's dinner but instead let me tease you about tonight's dinner.
I find that an Appetizer is crucial to set the stage for a good meal and a good mood.
So, with that said we had what Bostonians call Steamers and the rest of the country calls them clams as an Appetizer.
Yes, I took the trouble and ordered it from James Hook of Boston, MA not bought locally... clearly it was worth the shipment and yes, I ordered … (27 comments)

Wordless Wednesdays: Yes, we have other flowers in our back yard... most of you who read my post will realize it will be Wednesday morning... technically we still have about another hour and a half here in Los Angeles before it turns into Wednesday.

endre barath: Do you put up For Sale signs? I do when I find it benefits the sale...
- 05/08/23 09:13 PM
A potential client recently posed this question to me: Do you put up For Sale signs? I told him "Yes" and the reasons being that it potentially attracts people who happen to be driving by not even thinking that there was something for sale, and at the same time, it gets my name out there - buyers and sellers see my signs (hence, name) everywhere, so it generates more business for me as well. A dual benefit.
Now with that said, there are certain places where I will not put up For Sale signs because I have come to know the neighborhoods and … (27 comments)

Speechless Sunday: yes, it is another food post... for me it is either a food or a pet post on Sunday. So, with that said I figured I will give you a break, and this way you cannot say: No not another, pets on the bed post:)).
If you like what you see let me know and I can provide the recipe, it is quite easy if you have the ingredients on hand.
Diane wanted to go out to lunch and the day got away from us so with that said I knew I could not go wrong with pasta and red sauce.

endre barath: A Real Estate Forecast from a Beverly Hills Realtor: Endre Barath, Jr....

A Real Estate Forecast from a Beverly Hills Realtor: Endre Barath, Jr....
First up, in case you missed it, the Federal Reserve raised the interest rates by .25 % making it more challenging to secure a loan. Since Borrowers will have even more stringent terms (in addition to the higher interest rates) all this points to less loans, thus fewer home buyers. Let's add to this mix the shortage of Spring housing inventory; what does this mean for the Real Estate Market? We are already at 6.55% which makes ‘affordability’ difficult; add the recent rate hike to this and the difficulty of buying a home … (37 comments)

Wordless Wednesday: Sprinkles Cupcakes... well Diane felt bad that I had to deal with picking up 60 lbs. of Dog & Cat food and decided to reward me with a couple cupcakes.
This was the dark chocolate one. Now if you are in Beverly Hills do stop in and you will not be disappointed. Keep in mind the prices are Beverly Hills not other parts of the US of A:))
Now keep in mind I did not post the last picture, but the only thing was left was the paper:)))
