Chic’s Pick: The Sea by Alexander's Steakhouse

/

We had a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner at The Sea by Alexander's Steakhouse courtesy of Executive Chef Pratik Mungre. A delightfully smoky Old Fashioned cocktail paired nicely with Japanese wagyu beef that literally melts in your mouth.

Thanks to the clients who gave us a gift card to try it out. We highly recommend a visit with your special someone. And don’t forget dessert!

Cookies & Clients

Thanks to everyone who joined us at the 47th Annual Los Altos Festival of Lights parade. We were overjoyed to see many friends and clients stop by a reception at the Los Altos Compass office to share the warm and cozy holiday spirit over drinks, tea, and of course, cookies!

I love entertaining. That’s why it’s been so invigorating to get back to live events and interact face-to-face with friends, family, clients, and neighbors. But we also know illness lurks around every corner, so this is a friendly reminder to get your flu shot and COVID vaccine!

In case you missed this year’s parade, you can save the date for the next one on December 1, 2024. No one knows what the next year will bring, but if it’s anything like recent history, it’s sure to be exciting and unpredictable. So hold onto your hats and buckle up for a wild ride!

Giving thanks for our clients

With the short holiday work week, today is like Thursday, so we’re giving early thanks to the most important people in our world: our clients. Thank you for sharing your real estate journeys with us!

Did you know the first Thanksgiving lasted for three days? Imagine three straight days of Thanksgiving dinners, leftovers, and heartburn! Now imagine what it would be like to have no Thanksgiving dinner at all. Together, we can help all of our friends and neighbors have a happier holiday season by making a donation to a local food bank or volunteering in a community kitchen.

Did you know that Thanksgiving is commonly considered the origin of the “TV Dinner”? According to legend, the Swanson company had a bunch of frozen turkeys leftover from Turkey Day in 1953, so they packaged them up with veggies and sold them as individual meals. Of course, that’s not what really happened, according to the Smithsonian. But the truth isn’t as fun.
