What's New From Amanda Domingo In Brooklyn
Happy Thanksgiving to all! It is so weird that our family will be apart for the first time ever this holiday. Addison, our Agency's Contact Manager, will be in Pittsburgh, Mom, Dad and Lexie will be home in Carlsbad and me in New York. However, I am fortunate enough to have a family here in New York too. I have been enjoying going shopping in the city, running the Manhattan bridge, and eating out with my team mates. I was grateful my mom, dad, and sister came out the week before for a surprise. Hope you all are grateful on your turkey day with your family and friends. Enjoy it, I know I wish I was with mine!
A Healthy Recipe for the Holiday Season
As I'm starting to freeze here, this warm holiday Butternut Squash sounds so delicious and easy to prepare. Try it out as a side dish for your Thanksgiving feast. I also recommend using coffee mugs for ease of serving.
Ingredients
1 (2 to 3 pound) butternut squash, peeled and seeded
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
6 cups chicken stock, low sodium is best
Nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
6 cups chicken stock, low sodium is best
Nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Cut squash into 1-inch chunks. In large pot melt butter. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add squash and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook until squash is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove squash chunks with slotted spoon and place in a blender and puree. Return blended squash to pot. Stir and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Serve.
Kiki's Kwik Tip on Beauty
I have such sensitive skin that waxing my eyebrows is not an option without losing a layer of skin. I had a terrible experience with that method of beauty maintenance so I needed an alternative. It was weird at first. How can this technique possibly work I asked myself. I fell in love with threading while on a trip to Stanford, but have yet to find a decent place here in Brooklyn. Back home I recommend Kaya Threading in Oceanside right next to Barnes n Noble. It is so affordable and they do a great job. If you have extreme redness, irritation, or scabbing from waxing, I do recommend threading.
Raving Restaurant Review
One of my new favorite places to eat in Brooklyn is National. It is a Thai restaurant that offers a decent amount of food for good value. The food, spices and presentation is fresh. I usually order the Vegetarian Pad Thai. Perfect for a starving college student or dinner with the family. I actually took my mom, dad, and sister there when they came out on their surprise visit. If you are ever in town I suggest you give it a try!

Farmers Financial Fast Fact, by Glenn P Domingo, LUTCF, CSP
The younger you start saving for your Golden Years, the more powerful your retirement nest egg will be. As confident planners, we understand that the power of time is our most precious resource. Time is also an element that allows an investor to take advantage of Dollar Cost Averaging. DCA' The technique of buying a fixed dollar amount of a particular investment on a regular schedule, regardless of the share price. More shares are purchased when prices are low, and fewer shares are bought when prices are high. Dollar Cost Averaging is the concept of purchasing Stocks, Bonds, ETF's or Mutual Funds over a long period of time. This allows the investor to systematically purchase investment vehicles that are higher at times and lower at times preventing market timing . This type of investing over time has resulted in better returns of your investment instead of purchasing a lump sum at a high mark.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am going to enjoy tax free Black Friday shopping in New York! If you spend less than $110.00 on a single purchase in the State of New York, you do not to pay State Tax. Multiple purchases at the same location on the same day is not uncommon.
Tax Free is always better than deferring your tax. If you qualify to purchase a ROTH IRA, your return on your investment is tax free. My dad will explain what a Roth Ira is and who qualifies on our next blog. Until we read again.
