I am all about repurposing food, learned it from my mother.... having been rich and poor, the roller coaster ride of leaving Hungary and stopping in Austria and heading to the United States, I learned to be frugal and make food go a long way. The other day I bought some crab Leggs and Diane, and I had a great appetizer for the main course. Needless to say, we had a little left over. Not enough to share as an appetizer hence I decided to make a salad. Repurposing the remaining crab Leggs.If you asked me or Diane, you would hear it was great. Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

As most of you heard, there has been a great deal of discussions about Measure ULA & Measure GS, in the greater Los Angeles area. Hence, I thought I would simply try to clarify the important points.Measure ULA is a new tax law that effects the City of Los Angeles and will take effect on April 1st, 2023. This tax is also known as the “Homelessness and Housing Solution Tax”. This was a ballot measure in Los Angeles recently approved by the voters in 2022 during the Los Angeles County Midterm Elections. Often this tax is called as a “mansion tax” and often misleadingly advertised as such. In reality it will be imposed on both residential and commercial real estate sales.Simply stated properties that are sold at $5 million or more will incur a total transfer tax of 4.56%. This is in additio... 01/26/2023

I find it hard to write about losing family members, friends or pets. Well Jack came to us when we lived in Marian Del Rey and knocked on our patio door and asked us to let him in. Of course, we did. Jack and Jill became brothers. Now Jill is by herself and bossing Wiley around....Jack & Jill in the good old daysHere is another photo of the good old days:  Jill, Douggie & Jack looking out the window waiting for Diane to get home. Sadly, now only Jill is left of these three. It was always interesting for me to see that five minutes before Diane would get home, they either had a built-in sensor or who knows what they knew she would be home soon.   Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.
