Client Testimony

"Shelly Nims of the Patterson Group was fantastic! I had a small lot to sell and she treated me like I had a mansion to sell. I had no experience in selling real estate and she walked me through all the details with kindness and patience. Professional, yet warm and caring. I would highly recommend the Patterson Group."

10 "Must Do" Projects for August

Bob Vila | July 25, 2022

The end of summer is on the horizon, but don't despair—there's still plenty of time to get outdoor chores done before cool weather kicks in. These are the tasks on our minds this month.

It’s August, which probably means that—depending where you live and whether you have air conditioning—you’re spending the month trying to take advantage of every last minute of warm summer weather, or doing your darndest to stay out of the sweltering heat. There’s plenty to do this month both indoors and out, from gardening duties and keeping the house cool to getting the house ready for back to school.

1. Clean the Air Conditioner

The summer heat can put strain on your air conditioning unit, causing spikes in electricity bills, or worse, costly repairs. But if you give your HVAC system a little TLC, it will reward you with years of continued service. Change out the disposable air filter on your air conditioner and give the condenser fan a good cleaning to keep it in peak condition.

Chicken Thighs with Shallots in Red Wine Vinegar

Total Time: 35 mins | Yields: 4 Servings

32 oz 8 lean and trimmed boneless, skinless chicken thighs
kosher salt and fresh pepper
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp butter
1 large shallot, thinly sliced (3/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tbsp light sour cream
2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley

Directions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, honey, 3/4 cup chicken broth and tomato paste. Boil about 5 minutes, until it reduces down to about 3/4 cup. Remove from heat. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat and add chicken. Cook on both sides, until brown, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside. Add the shallots and garlic to the skillet and cook on low until soft, about 5 minutes.

Return chicken to the skillet and pour the sauce over the chicken, add the wine, remaining broth, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer about 20 minutes until tender. Remove the chicken, add sour cream and stir into the sauce (if sauce dries up, add more broth). Boil a few minutes then return chicken to skillet. Top with fresh parsley.
