I’m neither Democrat or Republican, but this video explains a lot on how our real estate housing market and current economic crisis came about. You’ll probably need to use the pause button throughout the video since it moves fast… watch it and post up your thoughts and comments.
Everyone needs a little extra spending money for the holidays. You have a chance at winning a $1000 Visa gift card to use wherever Visa is accepted. Yes!! You heard it right. $1000 smackaroos.
It’s so simple. Just comment on this post. The topic has to do with something about Real Estate. It can be an intelligent, insightful comment or just what’s on your mind after seeing the inflatable Santa and reindeer in your neighbor’s front yard. (though you never know — a comment like, “Tyler is the best blogger on the internet!” might help… )

One of the best parts of Thanksgiving is the leftovers. You’ll see your co-workers bringing in turkey and mashed potatoes for next couple days. You come home and make a turkey sandwich for a snack. Then you’ll eventually get sick of the same ole food and will have to wait another year for big feast. This year you can change it up. Here’s a suggestion for a recipe of Turkey and Stuffin’ Soup. Enjoy!
4 to 6 cups prepared stuffing
1 tablespoon (1 turn around the pan) extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium carrots, chopped, up to 2 cups of leftover baby carrots, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
Salt and pepper
1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
2 quarts chicken stock
1 1/2 pounds light and dark cooked turkey meat, diced
A handful of flat leaf parsley leaves, chopped
1 cup frozen peas or leftover prepared peas, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and transfer stuffing into a small baking dish. Place dish in oven and reheat 12 to 15 minutes, until warmed through.
Heat a pot over moderate heat and add extra-virgin olive oil. Work close to the stove and add vegetables as you chop. If you are using fresh carrots, cut them into a small dice or slice thin. If you are using leftover baby carrots, cut carrots into bite-size pieces. Add celery and onion and lightly season vegetables with salt and pepper. Add bay leaf and stock and bring liquid to a boil by raising heat. Add turkey and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer until any raw vegetables are cooked until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley, and peas, if using.
Remove stuffing from oven. Using an ice cream scoop, place a healthy scoop of stuffing in the center of a soup bowl. Ladle soup around stuffing ball. Your soup will look like a chunky matzo ball soup. Pull spoonfuls of stuffing away as you eat through your bowl of soup.
