Do you bake or boil your beets? I bake them for a deeper flavor If you are looking to add more flavors to your beet dishes my advice is clear and simple: you must bake them. By boiling them you will take just as long time wise, but the difference is most of the flavors will get boiled out. Next time you are planning on making a beet dish. Try using aluminum foil add a little olive oil and sea salt. Bake for about an hour or longer depending on size of the beets at 325 F. Let it cool so you can handle it and using paper towels remove the outer skin. This will guarantee your beets will be so much more flavorful than if you boiled them. I am very generous when it comes to using paper towels, if you are a bit more frugal get a plastic or rubber gloves and then use fewer paper towels to clean the beet’s outer skin . Once you are done depending what you are doing cut to the desired size. I was planning on making a Tuna Tartar with beets (another recipe to follow) hence the cubing on my part.

We’re working behind the curtains to improve ActiveRain… It’s hard to wait, but new features, bug-fixes, and other goodies are coming soon! Am I the only one who gets annoyed with surprise curtains? Do share your thoughts community it is a Members Only Post! OK the plot thickens an hour and a half later here is the update. Still the curtain is up.

read moreWhat was the biggest Social Media Mistake that I made:I was invited…
What was the biggest Social Media Mistake that I made: I was invited and did not join… Can you guess, I was invited to join Active Rain by a blogger from Colorado late in 2006, who ironically is no longer on Active Rain? He was trying to tell me that this would be the best platform for the future. I was a bit skeptical and did not join. Time was just ticking away; instead of joining Active Rain, I have already filled out my profile on MySpace and started collecting “friends” at the time I did not see the benefit of being on Active Rain as well. I did a little bit of interaction on MySpace and one day, I lost my password. Needless to say none of my “friends” ever inquired what happened, that was about eight or nine years ago….. I tried retrieving my password, but it required so much drama it was not worth the trouble, by now I am sure my profile has been deleted and BTW I do not remember any of my close friends J….. Fast forward to July 10, 2007, I finally joined Active Rain and created my Profile and was slowly feeling out Active Rain. My intent was to see if I was going to stay and like the platform or fade away. Next I started reading Blog Posts and gingerly started to make comments. Then I was hooked, I began learning about Blogging, making friends and earning point. Fast forward again, now to August 28th 2008 and my first blog post was created. So as you can see my first Social Media Mistake was not to join Active Rain when I was asked. Then coupled with not knowing what to do I was a part-timer for over a year and some…. Since then, I have learned about generating international clients from all parts of the Globe. Just to name a few: home buyers from China, Condominium Sellers from Japan, home Buyers and Sellers from Israel. In addition, I have received land and home buyers from Italy, Germany and France to name a few places from the European continent. They all wanted to buy homes, land and investment property in Los Angeles and vicinity such as Malibu and Beverly Hills (to name a few of the communities. The best part was, they found me because of Active Rain. I have also received many Relocation buyers from all over the United States, because they learned that I am also a Relocation Specialist in the Los Angeles area. The best part is I have also helped a lot of Pet Friendly Clients find homes for sale and even for lease, because the word is out, that I am a Pet Friendly Realtor in the Greater Los Angeles area. So looking back, as the saying goes I wish I would have joined Active Rain in 2006 and by now I would have more happy international buyers and seller of property in the Greater Los Angeles area. Currently I am the #1 Agent in Beverly Hills on Active Rain. I am also #6 in Los Angeles County on Active Rain and #24 in California on Active Rain. Quick Tip: if you have been invited to Active Rain there is no sense wondering, join and do...
read moreVilla Romano one of the Gated Townhome Communities in Marina Del Rey!
Villa Romano one of the Gated Townhome Communities in Marina Del Rey, CA 90292 Villa Romano and Villa St Tropez of which I have blogged previously (http://actvra.in/YLK ) are the only two Gated Townhome Communities of the Villa Marina Townhome community. This is quite impressive since there are 18 independent communities which comprise of a total of 683+ Townhomes. They are all unique but similar. They are all anywhere for 25 -40 townhomes sharing a semi private pool. They each have a patio as well as private garages. The best part each townhome ranges from a low of 1500 living square feet to about 1900+ living square feet. Hence you have the feel of a nice modest single family home without the maintenance since the Gardner and the pool man are a community maintenance requirement. Villa Romano is at the end of the Cul-de-sac Street which makes it even more private. The ranges of listings are very few. Currently there is one on the market and the list price is $719,000 and the living square feet is about 1580 ft. and it is one of the smaller units, the good news is so is the association dues only $291 per month vs. the larger ones that just closed recently were paying $491 per month. Should you be interesting either purchasing this unit or consider selling a unit feel free to reach out to me directly your local Marina Del Rey, CA Realtor.

ChocoVivo: The First Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Factory in Los Angeles, CA in Culver City 90066 A few days ago Diane asked me that I should keep about 45 minutes to an hour in the afternoon available, since she wanted to take me somewhere near our home about maximum 15 minutes away? I was intrigued, but too busy to focus on it. As I was setting up appointments she said “..you promised I immediately rearranged my afternoon due to family obligations. This was the best surprise I received. She took me to Washington Blvd in Culver City next to my Optometrist’s Office. What a surprise: 12469 Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA 90066 Across from B &B Hardware a Los Angeles Institution. www.chocovivo.com is having a Grand Opening and we were there for the soft grand opening. In case you did not know, I love dark chocolate and the better the more I love it. Now after I have visited this fantastic place, I am not sure I will be able to go back and eat other chocolates. They have chocolate tastings, education about how the chocolate is grown, harvested and the best part was, not only was the owner a young woman there, but the Grower and Supplier who educated me about the entire chocolate process. I could have stayed there for hours…. Tuesday night at 8pm is the Grand Opening: needless to say we will be back. So I just wanted you to know hence the short post and the pictures. I am sure I will have a few more blogs if there is further interest on this subject.

read moreSpinach, Berries and Avocado Salad from your local Farmer’s Market!
Spinach, Berries and Avocado Salad from your local Farmer’s Market or your favorite Store like Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s. As most of you who know me, I am always experimenting and taking recipes from cookbooks and anywhere else I can find new fun and healthy food to try. I came across with one on the internet. I loved the picture and the ingredients and I could tell this would be an amazing salad. The Ingredients: Spinach(8-14 oz), Mango (1), Avocado(1), Blackberries (8oz), Raspberries(8oz), Canola Oil(1/4cup-1/2 cup), Pine nuts91/4 cup to 1/2cup), Honey(2 table spoons), and then here you can play with depending on taste 2-3 table spoons of (lemon, or white wine vinegar, or orange Champaign vinegar or orange juice) and your level of comfort for citrus. Key steps: Toast the pine nuts over a hot stove top , need to watch it close and keep moving the nuts 3-6 minutes and do not burn…(if you do not want pine nuts substitute, almonds, walnuts or sunflower seeds it will taste different but still good) Mango Vinaigrette: one mango, if you cannot get fresh sweet, or tart mango then use frozen mango, combine white wine vinegar or other citrus, about 2 table spoon of honey, about a cup of canola oil and even a table spoon of water. Puree the entire ingredients until they are thick, smooth and like a velvety dressing. I recommend either a white plate or a black plate but not ones with lots of designs: place the spinach depending on the number of people (8-14 ounces) then add the berries to give it a nice color and then the sliced avocadoes and then the toasted pine nuts! Drizzle the Mango Vinaigrette on top of the salad and let me know if you liked itJ If you are considering buying or selling a luxury home, or an ultra luxury home, or luxury investment real estate, or luxury vacation homes, or luxury beach properties in Southern California, Los Angeles, Century City, Westwood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Marina Del Rey, Venice or Malibu.
