Ashereste is a Persian hearty soup that could easily be a meal on its own. This is an EXCELLENT soup for the cold, cold winter we’re having. Because this soup takes a while to make, I usually make a bunch and either have people over, give it away, or freeze it to eat another day.

Crotch rocket or Cruiser? This Jane prefers cruisers.
By Jane on April 26, 2010
I love motorcycles. I especially love Harley’s and Indians. As you an see, I’m more of a CRUISER type than the CROTCH ROCKETS like the NINJAS. Anyway, there was an cool-looking CHOPPER that was at the auction. Just thought I’d show you. It’s not for me but I like the way it looks. My legs are [...]

The Victorian Table gets the HOT treatment and June Cleaver suggests I trim it up!
By Jane on March 8, 2010
The room still needs more umph. BOLD is BEAUTIFUL. THE VICTORIAN TABLE I remember that I have an old ornate, although intricately molded plastic, table that looks like it was from the LOUIS XIV days. It’s in my shed collecting dust because two of it’s legs have fallen off. I kept it all this time [...]

Men making beds: Now that I know you know how to do it correctly…
By Jane on February 16, 2010
Of course, I’m always the one making the bed. I like a made bed and hate it when I get ready to go to sleep at night as see a messy bed. Plus, when I sleep, the sheets hardly move but when Dick sleeps, they’re ALL OVER the place! (Which makes my job oh so [...]

Dick gets “new” shoes. Tenant leaves behind a pair of Nike Lebron James 20-5-5.
By Jane on September 1, 2011
We always have “gifts” that the tenants leave behind and it’s usually because they don’t want to move their crap or they just don’t want it anymore. We’ve gotten a stereo, beds, furniture, pots and pans, washer and dryer, etc. While cleaning up the garage of our property, Dick found a pair of men’s tennis [...]

Your Daily Benz: Benz and his new AMERICAN GIRLfriend.
By Jane on November 14, 2011
Benz was recently introduced to Thelma’s AMERICAN GIRLfriend. Benz instantly took a liking to her. Aren’t they so cute together? As with most “men” his age, he shows affection by pulling her hair. Soon though, things started to get serious and Benz was smitten. In the end, he was kissing her feet!! Whoa boy! Take [...]

Jane stalks a LOTUS ELISE. What a sweet little sports car!
By Jane on April 28, 2010
The other day I was driving home and I spot this BEAUTIFUL SPORTS CAR. I didn’t know what it was so I tried to speed up so I could get a closer look at it. It’s a LOTUS. Of course, immediately I think ESPRIT, like the one in Back to the Future. The back is [...]

By Jane on November 8, 2009
I just found these old pics of when we were in Toronto visiting family and friends. The girls are probably about 3 and 4.5 yrs of age. They are so chubby and cute. Gosh I miss their baby fat.

Sushi date with our girls at a more “traditional” Japanese restaurant.
By Jane on January 17, 2012
With Benz being a baby and requiring a lot of attention, we decided the girls too need some alone time with their parents. Until Benz, it was just the four of us for the longest time so Dick and I took the girls out to dinner one Friday night and left Benz home with my [...]

Wrestling over Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia
By Jane on January 19, 2010
My favorite ice cream is Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia. It’s so perfect with bits of chocolate chips and red cherries. YYUUUUMMM! Well, I made Dick go for a late night run for some the other night. No, I’m not pregnant. I just really wanted some Cherry Garcia! Dick obviously wanted some too otherwise he [...]

Being the super-duper dad that he is, Dick went ice skating with Thelma yesterday. Thelma is LOVING ice skating and wants to go to every public session. Reminds me of my competitive roller skating days. Yes, there is such a thing as competitive roller skating. When I can find the pics, I will post. Any-hoo, [...]

She-Ra turns 25!!! I have the POWER!!!
By Jane on October 6, 2010
For those 80s babies like myself, I just came across an article about one of my favorite cartoons growing up. SHE-RA! She-ra was the female, kick-ass version of HE-MAN, who fought against evil, was a strong, intelligent female and I wanted to be her! Watching religiously daily and wanting to have the POWER, I would [...]

Convertibles: Love them or not?
By Jane on September 21, 2010
Since it was summer, we had been looking for a convertible for the girls to enjoy. We found one and the kids (including the big one that is my husband) LOVE it! They love it so much they don’t want to sell it. It’s like a roller coaster ride for them. I’m not sure what [...]
Jane: Possible Pimp-tress of Rides???
By Jane on February 10, 2010
WHAT IS DICK DOING? Seems like I’m doing all the work while we’re in Gotham City? Well, yes, I’d like to think so but actually, I have to give Dick “some” credit. While I’m slaving away, scrubbing nastiness, Dick is running around trying to finalize the purchase and transport of a new car. We’ve bought [...]

Front yard maintenance: Wacking the bushes.
By Jane on February 19, 2011
Pregnancy really hasn’t slowed me down much. I’ve been meaning to trim my bushes for a while but the weather hasn’t been very accomodating, until now. They’re totally overgrown and need a HAIRCUT bad!! You can’t even hardly see our house. What to use to trim these suckers? (You may be wondering why I dress [...]

Homeschooling: Not for everyone but DEFINITELY for us!!
By Jane on September 14, 2009
I know there are people who are out there that are like, “Homeschool?!?!? How do your kids get the “social” part of school?” My response is…”Besides letting the kids out of their cage for about an hour a day to stretch out their legs, we occasionally take them to the local grocery store to see how other humans interact.”

By Jane on October 21, 2010
Lucy was in town over the weekend so we took the girls shopping for costumes since they have been wanting Halloween costumes for the last 2 months. Louise has been checking them out online and has already changed her mind 3 times…each time telling me she’s ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NOT going to change her mind. Good thing [...]

Ladies Night at the Sports Bar never ceases to disappoint.
By Jane on August 24, 2010
June and I hit LADIES NIGHT at the local sports bar again and this time, we bring Eminem out with us so I can properly SCHOOL him in ping pong in public. Dick actually would love to join us but due to his injury, he’s not quite that mobile yet. The table is open and [...]

Bush wacking and cleaning up my dump of a backyard.
By Jane on February 25, 2011
Winter and the yard work gets neglected, especially since I got pregnant in the fall, there’s so much that I should have done prior to winter but simply didn’t have the time or energy. Since we’re somewhat cleaned up the front, and my backyard is looking like one big dump…time to get to work again! [...]

Benz recognizes stranger danger, gives the pouty lip.
By Jane on November 7, 2011
One day I went to Lowe’s to get a mulching kit for my lawn mower. I’ve gone there so many times for things for my lawn equipment that the gentleman who works there, Mr. John Deere, knows me and my girls. I always call ahead and make sure that Mr. John is there when I need [...]
