endre barath 90045 real estate: Speechless Sunday: strange weather here in Los Angeles... - 03/24/24 10:09 PM
Speechless Sunday:  we have had some strange weather here in Los Angeles lately. Out of nowhere, we had another rainstorm around 5pm today. Then when the clouds cleared look what we saw. What a beautiful rainbow. 
If you look closely at both pictures you will notice an  airplane coming to land at LAX, that is Los Angeles International Airport. When I was watching I saw the plane was in the middle of the Rainbow. By the time I got my camera out and took the two pictures well in  one photo, the plane was still in the rainbow, the other one just … (24 comments)

endre barath 90045 real estate: Wordless Wednesdays: after a difficult day how about a fun post.. - 03/20/24 10:52 PM
We all have those days... so I thought why not post about an easy and tasty meal. The rice is long grained brown rice mixed with Jasmine Rice. Why? Just for the fun of it.
The shrimp those who follow my post know is from Argentina and Trader Joe's sell them.
Well with that said hope your day was not like mine:))

Here we are time to choose which meal you would like.... well last night I made baked potatoes with baked sausages and baked carrots.
Today since it was Friday I made double baked potatoes with the leftover potatoes and added baked salmon and the baked carrots were not as well baked as the day before...

endre barath 90045 real estate: What to do on a Sunday afternoon while the Atmospheric river is... - 02/06/24 10:46 PM
What to do on a Sunday afternoon while the Atmospheric River is raging through the Greater Los Angeles area? Well, I decided to make "sauce" (Italian Pasta Sauce) and use my leftover frozen Turkey Meatballs with some Spaghetti Squash.
I would have posted about it yesterday, but the platform was not permitting me to do so.
Now with that said, to make the Sauce is a three-to-four-hour project. Most of my readers have seen me write about it. I should look for the old recipe and link it to my post here.
Hence while I was working on the Sauce, I thought this would … (11 comments)

What to make for dinner on a Saturday Night? Well, I was out of sauce as some know it as red sauce aka tomato sauce. Short notice inspiration I decided to make this. Look at the top photo, that was the finished product.
well looking at the above photo you will see, vegetables, chicken stock and chicken sausage with garlic and herbs.
 
I had this colorful bow pastas from Trader Joe's,. Bought them during the Holiday, they not only looked good but were from Italy. So you can guess added it to the above concoction.
Here you have it a few minutes of continued … (20 comments)

endre barath 90045 real estate: Wordless Wednesday's: Mushroom with seafood Risotto.. - 01/17/24 11:38 PM
Wordless Wednesday's: Mushroom with seafood Risotto. Yesterday I asked Diane what she would like for dinner: leftover Cioppino or Risotto? Well, the answer too less than a split second... Risotto.
Now with that said I had to go to work. I decided on four mushrooms: Dried Porcini and Dried Shantrell's and fresh seafood mushrooms and fresh King Oyster Mushrooms. For good measure I sauteed some Kale too.
Two I had to soak in the chicken broth and chicken stock while I was sautéing the onions and followed by sauteing the mushrooms. 
Now I decided on Argentinian red shrimp and langostino tails, and of course … (28 comments)

endre barath 90045 real estate: A Holiday Salad: can be made even if there are no Holidays... - 12/26/23 10:19 PM
A Holiday Salad: can be made even if there are no Holidays... I was looking for recipes that I could make ahead not to disrupt the Holiday Meal. I ran into a couple salads that you could make ahead. Needless to say, I had to improve or modify the recipe.
So, with that said here are the ingredients:
1. Shredded and Toasted Almonds (some would replace it with walnuts or hazelnuts, my take is whatever you have at home)
2. I used fig balsamic reduction if you do not have it use any type of balsamic vinegar (if no reduction then just add more … (13 comments)

endre barath 90045 real estate: It Never Rains in Southern California... - 12/20/23 10:47 PM
It Never Rains in Southern California, I am sure you heard the song... I am dating myself the year was 1972 when it was first publicly released.
Just as many of my readers who do not live in the greater Los Angeles do not believe me that we have four seasons. The only difference is that our seasons are milder.
On the other hand, when we have rain, Oh Boy it is like going through a car wash is the best comparison. 
I took a few photos for the nonbelievers:) Also do not fret we are clearly out of the drought based on the … (15 comments)

Speechless Sunday: Needed a break from the turkey leftovers... I decided to get rid of the vegies and the stuffing with some shrimp and fish.
If you are looking for an inexpensive flavorful fish check out Barramundi glad you did if you asked me. Taste like Seabass at one third the price. We needed a break from the turkey.

Thank you Debe Maxwell, CRS  for the inspiration to write another grateful post, this being my second in the past twelve days.  As I reflect, I realize I could write a book not a post; I'm sure I'm not alone in my thinking on this, particularly if we take a minute or two to look around us. 
 

I'll begin with my parents who instilled in me a strong work ethic, morals and principles.  As new immigrants who arrived in Austria from Communist Hungary, we shared stories and reminisced about places we lived, restaurants at which we ate, people we left … (17 comments)

Lately I have been a tad busy, for which I am very grateful for. There is a potential of 6-10 listings coming on the market. Then to booth there is a couple transaction that might actually close...time will tell. Now with that said I am digressing....
I am a bit preoccupied with work so when I made the dinner, I almost forgot to serve one of the ingredients. Now I am sure you will know what was missing and got a laugh out of it. (yes the green stuff almost did not get served)

endre barath 90045 real estate: Wordless Wednesdays: easy soup tonight... - 11/01/23 11:02 PM
Well, I have been crazy busy the last few days, and as our friend George Souto  shamed me into making a quick soup. Here it goes, Diane thought it was great.
Lot's of fun seafood in it, shrimp, scallops, mussels, to name a few well see for yourself.
There were many more seafood items in there, as to vegies, spinach, kale, potatoes and tomatoes to name a few.

endre barath 90045 real estate: Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie a book review... - 10/30/23 10:54 PM
Not the first time I am thanking  Ricki Eichler McCallum for getting me back to reading again! After enjoying her novel and sequel, I next decided to pick up Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. If you've not read this classic tale book and love mysteries, this one is a must read.  I saw the movie when it came out in 1974 with the stellar cast of Sean Connery, Richard Widmark and Ingrid Bergman and Albert Finney as Inspector Poirot. After all these years, I had no recollection of the details or the ending, hence it was an easy fast-paced read that held … (25 comments)

endre barath 90045 real estate: Wordless Wednesdays: French Onion Soup... - 10/18/23 10:41 PM
I was caramelizing onions the other day and I could tell Diane had a craving for the best French Onion Soup. I have not made it in a while, clearly because it is very time consuming.
Well today was the day I finally finished it and she was thrilled.
The recipe is easy 8 sweet onions, caramelized for anywhere from 4-8 hours.
Then once it is about a cup and a half add it to it about 4-5 quarts of chicken stock, I mix it with chicken bone broth. 
Here you go again reduce it to about 40 per cent or more of the liquid. … (22 comments)

Speechless Sunday: While waiting for my smog check and certificate, I had to sit for about 10-15 minutes next to this bird cage.
I had so much fun watching many of these birds, eating, frolicking and check me out too.
I needed to get this done since in a few days my registration needed renewing too. Hence smog check then across the street to DMV as in Department of Motor Vehicles to renew my registration.
All done within an hour and a half from start to finish. The best part was watching the birds.

endre barath 90045 real estate: How is your Holloween Decoration coming along? This was the question... - 10/14/23 10:26 PM
How is your Halloween Decoration coming along? This was the question one of our neighbors asked me three blocks away as I was walking Holly. Keep in mind the top photo and this one were taken at their home.
I had to admit shamefully that we are still at ground zero. Needless to say he offered his wife to help me and she in turn clarified that it was their four-year-old daughter who handled the decorations, she was just following orders. 
Well, I must admit it was incredible a 12-foot-high skeleton and the list goes on. Now with that I was shamed into … (21 comments)

Furry Friday Post from a Pet Friendly Realtor in Los Angeles, CA... if you look at these two photos and read my blog posts regularly you might think I ran out of ideas and I am posting the same pictures.

Throwback Thursdays: look at these two moments... the photos reminded me of some great moments.
In 2014 I listed a home in Bel Air, CA in the 90077 zip code, the sellers were my previous buyers. Long story short the new buyers bought the home with a different agent. Two years ago they reached out to me and we searched and were patient and this year they bought their new home with me. It is a long story, and I will just leave it at that.
Now go figure a year before that Diane and I were sitting enjoying lunch somewhere in Los … (15 comments)

I promised Diane I would make an easy Friday Dinner and to boot a light but flavorful one. Now with that said, I purposely made some extra bakes Salmon the other day.
Hence all I needed to do is make the salad and easy flavorful dinner for Friday night.
It was delicious, salmon gone but there is still some leftover salad:) So what did you make for dinner tonight?
