Next door to the place we had sushi was this cake shop. I don’t bake at all unless you count using Duncan Hines box cakes and Nestle Tollhouse Mini cookies. However, I wish I could make cakes like these.
Twilight inspired cake.

KWIK KWOTE: Uranus. Uranus. Uranus.
By Jane on April 8, 2010
Louise was running through the planets the other day. She was trying to impress me with her knowledge of all the planets. “Mommy, I know all the planets and in order!!” “Oh yeah? What are they?” “Mercury…Venus…Earth…” (Counts on her fingers) “My…very…excellent…oh Mars!…Jupiter…Saturn…” (Users her fingers again…not sure why. We’re not counting. I guess it’s [...]

Jane and Dick celebrate 15 years together! How we met and how I hit the “jackpot”.
By Jane on February 3, 2011
Fifteen years ago, I meet Dick at an International Party at a nightclub. Yes, a nightclub. I broke at least one if not several of “The Rules” from that dating book written by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider by accepting to go on a date with him the very next day. Plus, I’m pretty sure [...]
Sleepover time. Dark chocolate fudge mini-brownies included.
By Jane on June 13, 2010
Thelma starts to feel better after resting most of the day and assures me she feeling fine and wants to see her friends. Of course, I guess when it involves seeing friends, they always say they are “okay”. However, she DID actually look better. Maybe it was just a stomach bug after all. The girl’s [...]

Thelma wants to do all the sports so now we’re playing VOLLEYBALL! We signed her up for a local girls team and she absolutely LOVES it! It’s such a great team sport. Girls Volleyball is popular in our area because our Ladies College team is ranked #1!! I don’t know anything about volleyball other than what [...]

Let me tell you about my girl Confuchsia. Similar to Confuscius but it’s ConFuchsia, like fuchsia, the magenta color. Who even knew that fuchsia was even spelled like that?!?!? I’ve been getting it wrong all this time! Confuchsia and I clicked right off the bat. What I like about her is that Confuchsia speaks her mind and she [...]

Shopping at the market for a unique gift.
By Jane on September 22, 2010
Lucy’s birthday was coming up and I wanted to get her something unique. What I wanted to get her was a nice apron, since my dear sister (who never used to cook) is now cooking. (Lucy often even uses my recipes.) But, when I shopped around, I found all the aprons I looked at to [...]

Homemade Sushi: Jane’s Tunafish Rolls. Not the raw kind. The kids LOVE it!
By Jane on February 28, 2010
My kids love sushi. They’ll eat the raw pieces of fish too. But, we don’t do raw at home. Many years ago, one of my friends introduced me to Roasted Seasoned Seaweed. This stuff is DA BOMB! You can eat it plain or with rice…or with my homemade recipe for sushi at home. It’s easy, [...]

Stripe bass and pickerel for dinner!
By Jane on July 18, 2010
So we pan fried the striped bass, which tastes great with rice. The pickerel was steamed and topped off with a soy-ginger sauce and green onions. I understand now why the pickerel is so coveted. Talk about YUMMY! -Jane, Fish Lover.

The “Other” dish that Dick can cook: Meat-Sauce Spaghetti with Baby Bella Mushrooms.
By Jane on November 19, 2009
We’re trying to figure out what to eat (as almost every night) and decide we haven’t had spaghetti in a while. I actually make a very good spaghetti but since this is the OTHER dish that Dick is good at making (Click HERE for the pan-seared Kabob recipe), I let him do the honors. I [...]

Jane, amateur haircutter, strikes again.
By Jane on May 20, 2010
The boys are in need of a bit of a haircut. So, since I cut J LO’s hair the last time I was in LA, she wanted me to cut the boys hair. As I have said before, I’m definitely no professional and I’ve never been to beauty or hair school. I’ve cut women’s, girls’ [...]

What kind of motorcycle is this?
By Jane on September 16, 2010
I passed this motorcycle on the road the other day and it definitely caught my eye. I’m not sure what kind this 3-wheeler is but it’s dang futuristic. Most bikes don’t have that back rest. Having that makes being a passenger seem not so bad. Looks like some kind of transformer. Do you convert into [...]

Greed is the root of all evil.
By Jane on June 13, 2010
I have burnt my mouth and tongue taste testing food before it was ready. I can’t taste anything but that scratchy feeling in every bite. Now, the skin off the roof of my mouth is peeling as well. Greed really is the root of all evil. -Jane, Greedy Cook.

We work our asses off 24-7 taking care of our husbands and children with lots of expectations and no appreciation, raises, or adult interaction. And, much respect to those who are working Moms as well because you then have TWO [...]

Freezing food makes for less trips to the grocery store. It’s time to be efficient!!
By Jane on January 23, 2010
This year, I’m trying to be more efficient with my time. We’re so busy that I don’t have time to run around to go grocery shopping as often as I do. After spending time with J Lo and Mama F, I noticed how they would freeze meats and veggies so that if they wanted to [...]

I’m not sure how many different pics I can get at Starbucks but I took this yesterday as the rain was rolling in. It just started sprinkling so I had to move tables to take cover. Yes, like a die-hard golfer, I will endure rain. My favorite are thunderstorms with the sun still peeping thru. [...]
