Chillin at Ronald Reagan’s: Yes, more Food, Scattergories & Pictionary.
By Jane on July 26, 2010
Aside from spending time in Toronto with Queenie, the gang and I also spent alot of time at my other uncle’s house in Mississauga…a suburb of Toronto but still a quite large city of 600,000 or so. Ronald and Nancy Reagan. It’s very relaxing where Ron and Nancy live. I love it! WE EAT. I’m [...]

I’m at my Lucy Lu’s house that she shares with her roommate, Martha Stewart, in West Hollywood. Lucy and Martha have been working hard to add some Christmas Spirit into their house and it looks fabulous. They hung the stockings.

Trung Thu- Vietnamese Fall Moon Festival
By Jane on September 20, 2010
Every year, there is a Vietnamese tradition for the family where the kids get together and light up candle lanterns close to the full moon in celebration of the harvest. It’s called the Mid-Fall Moon Festival, which I thought was odd because officially, Fall isn’t even here yet. But, whatevs…Our community had one over the [...]

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! [...]

FASHION MADE EASY: A Black dress…or is it a shirt? One dress, three looks.
By Jane on February 24, 2010
I use dresses as shirts and big shirts as dresses often. This time, it’s actually a dress…a black one I bought in the Grungy Fashion District of Queen Street in Toronto. It’s funny because I bought it almost three years ago thinking I LOVED it but I didn’t wear it until two years later…when I [...]

So, when it came down to very last swim meet, Coach decided to let the girls at least experience ONE FINAL meet. PRACTICE There is swim practice daily and the coaches prep the kids for the final meet. [...]

Strawberry-Banana Smoothies: by Thelma & Louise
By Jane on September 17, 2009
Thelma and Louise love drinking smoothies. This is because Dick makes it for them all the time….some kind of concoction of mushed banana and soymilk. Smoothies and shakes aren’t really my thing but every once in a blue moon maybe. In the mornings, I’m thankful that the girls are self-serving and are able to [...]

Christmas tree finally up. Let’s hope it stays that way.
By Jane on December 5, 2011
We get home and it’s time to lug the tree into the house. Neither Lucy nor I want to touch the tree cause you know it’s got all that gooey, sticky sap and we don’t want to get our outfits dirty. Yes, we were being girly-girls. Whatevs. Sometimes you have to. Louise cuts the string [...]

Jane: Anal Corn on the Cob Eater.
By Jane on June 6, 2011
You may remember me mentioning my two loves and must haves to survive in the summer…watermelon and corn on the cob. I LOVE LOVE LOVE corn on the cob and could easily eat like 4-5 (or possibly more) in a day! Now corn is one of those things I do NOT like to share with [...]
Lucy gives the girls “shoulder buddies”.
By Jane on June 12, 2011
Lucy happened upon these “Shoulder Buddies” while at the airport and bought them for the girls. They look like these little crazy haired little “pets” that sit on magnets. One is named “Goal” and the other “Crush”. Aren’t they cute? I just noticed, they don’t have any arms. So what you do is put your [...]

I’m so excited that Thelma and Louise are getting into reading. Now that I’ve cut off the TV at home, it’s made a world of difference.

Recipe: Pan Seared Red Snapper and Stripe Bass and Sauteed Snow Pea Leaves. (Ca Chien)
By Jane on March 2, 2010
We just went shopping at our local Asian grocery store and bought some fresh fish. Now to cook it up! The fancy way to say how we’re preparing this is “pan searing” the fish. Basically, we’re frying it in a pan. In Vietnamese, fried fish is called “Ca Chien” and it’s quite simple. I picked [...]

In LA, whenever we go to Urth Cafe, we always pass this beautiful bathroom place. Thelma really wants to go inside so we do. Everything in this store is MAGNIFICENT!

The US Open tennis finals were just on with Nadal and Djokovic competing. A fantastic match. Here’s my dad, Freddie Mac, and Dick chillin’ on the couch watching it. Cute! I love how my dad rests his arms on his melly belly. -Jane, Fan of Father, Son-in-Law Bonding.

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, [...]
