I’m hanging out with my dear sister at her place. She invited me over for dinner and would like for me to cook her some Persian food. I decide to make a Chicken Spinach dish (Aloo Esfinage only without Aloo). We’re all starving because it’s already dinner time and we’re just getting started. I declare [...]

My Big Fat Persian Family in LA
By Jane on December 13, 2009
Dick’s family just recently relocated to LA from Germany. If you’ve ever seen the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Dick’s family kinda reminds me of that. They are bold, not shy to speak their mind, always talking and talking loudly, always having a great time laughing and dancing, and eating.

Big boobs aren’t all that. I’m loving my new mosquito bites.
By Jane on October 2, 2009
There are some benefits to having had that dreadful SWINE FLU. It’s the all-new Swine Flu Diet! Great results! Surprised that I’ve lost about 5 pounds in the last week, I’ve hit an all time low of 113! This is pretty insane for me since I haven’t been this small since I was like 12. Now, [...]

We take the family to see Kung Fu Panda 2 and with Benz in a sling too!
By Jane on June 9, 2011
I had promised the girls we would take them to see Kung Fu Panda 2 when it came out, even though I knew it was close to my due date. Since Benz decided to come a little early, we thought we would brave it and take him along too! Ok, so this might put me [...]

Getting Out Tea Stains with Oxy Clean
By Jane on February 15, 2010
We’re Persian, so we drink a lot of Persian Black Tea. We like to drink it hot and iced. My container for the iced tea is stained pretty badly. But, it’s impossible to clean and is only getting worse. How do I scrub this out with a sponge? I’ve tried and it doesn’t work! OXY CLEAN [...]

Off to Gotham City for Business and Pleasure.
By Jane on April 16, 2011
It’s off to Gotham City for yet another trip of business AND pleasure. It’s always like that for us. There’s always work to be done but there’s also room for PLAY. You remember the girls’s friends who stayed with us for a few days and didn’t want to leave? Well, it was their birthday so we [...]

If you’re a fan of sweet potatos, you’ll love Baked Butternut Squash.
By Jane on February 21, 2011
It’s been a while since I did a recipe post. Sorry, they take a while to write so it’s hard to find the time. But, the other day I made some Crispy Flounder, Baked Butternut Squash and Potato Crusted Basmati Persian Rice for my family. I was going to put the entire recipes for all [...]

Louise’s 9th birthday in LA with a special birthday wish from Jeannie Mai.
By Jane on April 14, 2012
Louise had been begging to come to California to spend her birthday there for many, many months prior to the actual day. So, when we finally planned on coming here, she was SO super excited. Lucy planned on having a birthday party in LA for her so Lucy and Louise made some invitations for the [...]

My girls found a souvenir of one of my greatest accomplishments while in high school. I received this button for successfully finishing the St. Jude Walk-a-thon twenty years ago when I was like 15 years old. The walk was a 26 12 mile (Apologies: Lapse in memory. It was 12 miles.) walk around downtown Metropolis. Some [...]

My girls built another “house” in my parent’s living room the other day. This is not uncommon if not a weekly thing. I love that my parents don’t have a house where they’re afraid to let the girls touch anything. They get to unleash their creativity here alot. Today, it’s a “house” that they plan [...]

Besties Biking to get Books & Reading by the Stream.
By Jane on June 13, 2010
The next day and after the sleepover, I decide to take the girls to the library…oh yeah, and we’re biking to get there. I’m coming, I’m coming! The girls wave “hi” to passersby. So advanced in their young age. I could’t bike one-handed until a year ago.

My Benz, a player? Queenie comes visits Benz and makes a prediction.
By Jane on September 23, 2011
Look who else is visiting me Labor Day Weekend…Queenie!!! You remember my lovely (and crazy) Aunt from Toronto…Queen Latifa. I love Queenie dearly and one of the reasons I love her most is her bluntness. Remember her words of wisdom when she was in Vietnam with my parents and sister over Christmas? Well, while she was here, [...]

Saving my daffodils from the rain.
By Jane on March 2, 2011
Because we were nearly flooded from all the rain, the rain was killing my daffodils that had already popped out their head. Why let them get all mashed up outside? Such a waste when I can enjoy them inside. Look how filthy they are from all the dirt/mud splatters. No problem, nothing a rinse can’t cure. [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear: I recycle Lucy’s black shirt and match it up with some Gap Maternity Jeans.
By Jane on January 3, 2011
Lucy has a lot of old clothes at my parents house that just sits there…day after day, month after month, year after year. So I’ll often go through it to see what I can use since she isn’t! Why waste I say. Recycle! Take this black shirt for instance. Actually, Louise found this shirt in [...]

Your Daily Benz: The girls dress up Benz in their old ladybug ballet outfit.
By Jane on May 23, 2012
As I was saying, my girls just love dressing up their little brother in their girly clothes from when they were small. Their most recent make-over was to put Benz in a ladybug ballet outfit they had for a recital when they were 4 and 5. Look at my sweet girlies!! People used to ask [...]

Pomelo: The sweet alternative to Grapefruit.
By Jane on January 30, 2011
What is a Pomelo? It’s the sweeter version of a grapefruit and about three times the size of an orange. I guess Walmart spells it “pummelo”. Same thing. They’re a little pricey (About $2.50-$3.00 each) but are really yummy. I don’t like grapefruit. It’s too bitter for me. But, the pomelo is a great alternative [...]
