The Marukai market in CM did have yellowtail collar, I marinated them in soy sauce and put them on the BBQ for 15 minutes, delicious! I also bought the chilean sea bass filets they had, BBQ'd them too for fish tacos.

What are the pluses of Costa Mesa compared to Irvine? More nightlife, closer to the beaches?

What's the link to IrvineRenter's calculator? ...never mind, found it on the home page...:)

I thought the soundproofing was much better in high rise units than at typical apartments with concrete between floors as well as between units on the same floor and double pane windows.

Ugh hopefully the human underwear and poop don't share the same DNA and that's just pet doo doo. I remember reading from somewhere that the Marquee Park Place doesn't allow pets but the Plaza Irvine allows them. It seems difficult to have pets in high rises, they either poop on the balcony or...

I like the Yoshinoya Beef Bowl but never figured out what "thinly sliced" beef they used (or is similar to it) until I went into the Zion Korean market on Irvine Blvd and Yale and bought some sliced CAB (Certified Angus Beef) beef brisket with fat. Turns out the sliced beef brisket is perfect...

Over the years I've settled on one all purpose seasoning that I put on BBQ meats that everyone says it's great, it's SusieQ's brand Santa Maria Style Seasoning, 805-937-2402, www.susieqbrand.com that believe it or not I originally got from Costco many years ago and now order from the website as...

Fish collar update: The 99 Ranch on Jeffrey had salmon collars in shrinkwrap but unfortunately they were spoiled (smelled fishy when I opened them at home) but they also had chilean sea bass collars on ice which were really good when I put them on the BBQ.

Anyone know what the highrise buildings are to the left of the 133 after passing Laguna Crossing/Hidden Canyon going towards Laguna Beach? It was a surprise to see a couple of highrises standing by themselves in that area of rolling hills.

Where is Hidden Canyon? I did a google and website search that just links back to this topic.

Skim, it's nice you're a considerate neighbor that parks your extra cars in front of your house, I'd rather have your HOA (and all other HOAS) crack down on people that park their extra cars in front of other neighbors houses. While I'm on the subject, maybe I qualify as a stuck up neighbor...

I've been buying AAA rated California municipal bonds that have tax free yields around 4%. One nice thing about buying municipal bonds (or corporates or Treasuries or government agencies) is they are marginable in your portfolio, so you have the yield working for you, and at the same time you...

There's a Discount Tire Shop a couple of lots down, and a low rent apartment hallway next door that looks down directly at the development...nice...

The 130 degree might be perfect, that's far from well done IMHO. I slow roast mine until it hits 145 degrees, at that temp after 1 hour sitting, it's slightly pink and medium doneness and not dry at all. To me, any lower than 145 degrees and there's too much red liquid after cutting for my...

I've always made rib roast in the oven but a couple months ago I even tried making rib roast on the Orchard Hills Apartment's BBQs (they clean the BBQs every night so you can grill without ever cleaning) for the first time. The difference is you can't set the temperature like in a conventional...

I'm a big fan of the yellowtail collars and salmon collars at Japanese restaurants. Whole Foods in the District used to have smoked collars (but not uncooked) occasionally but they had a kind of unusual flavoring I didn't care for particularly. Where can I buy the fresh uncooked collars in the...

For Thanksgiving I made prime rib that I bought from the Orchard Hills Pavilions on sale for only $5.99/lb. Regular price is around 9.99/lb I think. To me, it doesn't matter if it's choice or prime or select or whatever they call it, as long as it's the ribeye cut. It's the ribeye cut, you...

The resets for subprime loans were much higher than the teaser rates causing widespread problems in terms of defaults, but might the resets for Alt-A loans be less of a problem due to all the Treasury action taken? From Rates Keep Falling By Vincent Farrell Jr. 12/18/2008 9:00 AM...

No, the pocketbook is closed for more house than we need...:) We've found over many years that we only use a few rooms (MBR, kitchen and home theater room) regularly and it's just more convenient to have them all on one level. I had never seen this type of floorplan until we saw new model...
