Loobia (green bean) Polow (rice) is a SUPER-yummy Persian dish that combines fragrant Basmati rice with a green bean tomato stew infused with lots of great taste and flavor. I learned how to cook Persian food from my lovely Mother-in-Law. She is infamous in her family for being a fantastic cook and so to keep it [...]

By Jane on January 5, 2011
I’m Asian and my hair is naturally straight. However, I love that messy, wavy hair look that gives you that cute, bed-head look that you often see the Celebrities donning. Except, getting that messy look takes work! Here’s my version of how to get that look. WHAT YOU NEED What you’re going to need is [...]

By Jane on March 3, 2010
I spotted this pimp car the other day. A green Toyota Celica, suited up with a great body kit. You almost can’t even tell it’s a Celica. Nice!! -Jane, Sports Car Fan.

There’s a viral post going around on Facebook with accompanying photo below about a baby mouse who chewed through a box of Viagra at a pharmacy. Not sure if this is for real or not but it’s nonetheless pretty funny! Have a MOST EXCITING weekend my friends. Hopefully just as excited as this mouse. -Jane, [...]

The girls give Daddy a hot stone massage.
By Jane on October 9, 2010
If I haven’t mentioned it already, we have the sweetest and most considerate girls ever! Right before Dick was getting ready to go to Gotham City for business, the girls decided to give him a massage in anticipation of all the HARD WORK he has to do while he’s gone. Thelma takes one of my [...]

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 [...]

Loud teeny-bopper destroys my HAPPY time and positivity.
By Jane on September 13, 2010
So while I’m trying to read my POSITIVE magazine (ODE) and feeling all good inside, relaxing, reading, enjoying the light breeze, having my coffee and such, I was ABRUPTLY INTERRUPTED by two teenie boppers who decided to sit down at the table right next to me and start YAMMERING ABOUT LOUDLY at such a level [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear. Dare to wear horizontal stripes.
By Jane on March 25, 2011
Typically, they say horizontal stripes are unflattering, especially if you don’t want to look more WIDE than LONG. Of course, I’d rather look LONGER THAN WIDER but there are very few items left in my closet that can still double as maternity. Like this one. Remember, I’m trying to ride it out without having to purchase too [...]

By Jane on May 6, 2010
We were on the interstate when we spotted this BEAUTIFUL Antique Mercedes 280 SL convertible. It’s GORGEOUS and looks WELL taken care of. I love the antique blue with the cream interior. This would be a car I wouldn’t mind having. Dick LOVES it. Wants one. Good thing we have the same taste. Mine is, [...]

We dine with Lucy and Ricky. Japanese BBQ!!!
By Jane on February 5, 2010
Before I leave LA to come back to Metropolis, the girls and I dine with Lucy and Ricky as one of our last meals together. They take us to a fantastic restaurant called Gyu-Kaku…a Japanese BBQ restaurant. If you’ve never had Japanese or Korean BBQ (practically the same thing), you are missing out! At the [...]

We love tea and my mom knows how much I love tea sets. I have a small collection of different tea sets and so my mom had brought me back my favorite tea set yet! Now I had heard of this tea set from the time that they were in Vietnam because my sister was [...]

Thelma brings in some smoothies to my office while I was here working. I thought she had made me something to drink and was bringing it to me. How thoughtful! But, before she handed me one, she said… “WAIT.” Then, she proceeds to show me the sign. Being the creative entreprenuer that she is, she [...]

Getting our energy out at the Gymnastics place.
By Jane on September 23, 2010
We have access to a great Gymnastics place that opens up their gym to the public and allows kids to run around and play at their HUGE facility for only $5 an hour per child! Believe me, an hour is plenty. We’re not interested in adding yet another activity to our schedules but I love [...]

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 [...]

Are there Depends for pregnant women??? The Preggar-Pantiliner???
By Jane on December 15, 2010
Freakin-A. Someone needs to design some Depends or something for pregnant women. It needs to be called the Preggar Pantiliner. (I need to trademark that. Remember where you heard it first!) If you ever hear me sneeze one of my big karate-chop sneezes and then follow it with “Damn it!”, it’s because I’ve just peed [...]

By Jane on May 22, 2010
Just as soon as I wrote the post on IMPROPER watermelon slicing did I open the fridge to find this: We have more than just stuff to drink in our fridge, trust me. Apparently Dick and J Lo have NOT referred to my blog on the PROPER way to slice a watermelon. Maybe I should [...]

Thelma and Louise get dressed to go to “work” in fashion..
By Jane on May 3, 2010
Thelma and Louise were playing pretend the other day that they were both going to work. “What do people wear when they go to work?” “It depends on where you work. Where do you guys work?” “We work in FASHION. Like in the Devil Wears Prada.” “Well, then just put together whatever you think is [...]

I hate eye poo. By eye-poo, I’m talking about that crusty shit that makes your eyes stick together. What is the formal word for it? I know it in Vietnamese but not in English. I’m sure my doctor friends can tell me. Anyway, poor Benz got “an eye-full” over the holidays. He had a cold [...]

Fine, compromise mother f****r. U happy now?
By Jane on June 17, 2010
If you’ve noticed that I have gone back and put a bunch of asterisks in between words like f**k and f*****g or mother f*****r in recent stories, it’s because my dear husband, who loves to read about himself, does not like to be referred to in this manner. I told him that’s they way I [...]
