Our city of Metropolis does not have large Chinatowns or Asian grocery markets like the bigger cities but it’s enough for us. Dick and I recently went to get some fish. If you want a good variety of fresh fish and at great prices, I would find out where your local Asian grocery store is. [...]

Lucy and the girls plant some herbs.
By Jane on February 9, 2011
Lucy had bought me a little French Culinary Herb Kit. It’s so cute! The herbs included are Thyme, Rosemary and Sage. So, since she was in town, she and the girls put it together. It was very easy to do. Just water the soil pellets that are included. They expand to look like this. Then [...]

Silly Bandz: The new friendship bracelet? Let’s go back to the old days.
By Jane on October 14, 2010
When I was in middle school, making friendship bracelets were all the rage and I was the queen of making string bracelets. No really. I was. I would spend hours upon hours knotting these colorful bracelets, all the while trying to come up with new patterns and styles to impress the kids at school. I [...]

Boursin Cheese and Mamma Mia starts off 2010 for us.
By Jane on January 1, 2010
It’s about 10:30 when we’re done eating our yummy sushi at Katsuya so we head to Lucy’s house to chill. We’re watching the countdown on CNN but I think it’s a replay of the dropping of the ball in NY’s Time Square. Whatever, it’s still almost midnight for us so we use it as our own West Coast [...]

This is John Mayer’s LIVE performance of Heartbreak Warefare and this Jane totally DIGS IT! I love the guitar on this song. John Mayer is a true talent and has a pretty, smooth [...]

How to get a perfect soft boiled egg.
By Jane on October 13, 2010
If you are not a fan of hard boiled eggs, you should try soft boiled eggs. A soft boiled egg is an egg that is boiled only to the point that the white is fully cooked but the yolk is still liquid and tasty. Over the weekend, on a fresh beautiful morning, I made Dick [...]

The Motor City, the border, kilometers versus miles…and finally, Toronto.
By Jane on July 7, 2010
We’re in the Motor City! Home of the Pistons! And my old place of employment, where I lived some 9 or 10 years ago, working for Ford Motor Company. This is a picture of one of Ford’s plants but I didn’t work here. I worked in the offices close to headquarters. After traveling around for a [...]

Thelma and Louise, awesome baby helpers.
By Jane on July 11, 2011
Because they girls are now 8 and 9, they’re big enough now to do many things themselves and they are fantastic helpers with the baby. That’s some good planning on mine and Dick’s part…NOT. Even still, the girls are the best helpers a mommy could ask for. Remember when I told you lazy busy parents [...]

It’s like a dream come true for me because if I haven’t mentioned it before, and Lucy is rolling her eyes [...]

The girls and I have a daily competition to see who can acquire the most bugs. Except, we don’t play PUNCH bugs. I don’t like being punched. Getting punched unexpectedly could easily throw this Momma into a bad mood. I already get a slight heart attack when they scream, BUG!!! And, nowadays, these bugs are [...]
