So, as I mentioned, this is the year for organization in our house. I’m tired of just storing all this stuff when someone else can probably make better use of it. We’re still clearing out our closet and getting rid of stuff we don’t wear anymore. (Remember I had already started clearing out stuff before [...]

We get invited to a last minute doggie wedding. Yuki & Oscar’s!!
By Jane on January 25, 2010
I had this idea to let my Mom’s new Pekingese (Yuki) mate with Oscar because I thought they would make cute babies. Lucy is up for it but reminds me that it might be difficult since Oscar only has one ball. Yes, one ball. No matter, we’re going to give it a try. Apparently though, [...]

Not exactly roughing it for a third world country.
By Jane on March 1, 2011
The last time I was in Vietnam was over ten years ago and alot has changed since then. What used to be rustic and poor-looking has turned into a metropolitan nouveau city with plenty of tourism. From the pictures of the hotels that my family stayed in, they weren’t exactly “roughing it” in any rustic-type [...]

Thelma has her first real soccer match. It’s the FIRE.
By Jane on September 20, 2010
We just had our first soccer match of the season! Louise isn’t playing because she’s one year younger and by the time she decided she wanted to play, it was too late. Coach is just super nice and lets her practice with them. Although Thelma played when she was 5, since it was just a [...]

Backtracking a bit to Benz’s 4-month doctor visit.

Benz is now 5-months old but, since I’m so behind on blogging, let’s backtrack to his 4-month doctor visit. Dick is in town and wants to come with us to the Doctor’s office. Such twins, ey? So, like many things we do…it’s a family affair. Thelma even brought her school stuff along. Such good girls [...]

Potato Crusted Basmati Persian Rice with Saffron.
By Jane on February 21, 2011
Persians love a crispy crust (tadik) when they make their rice. Oftentimes, it is the MOST SOUGHT AFTER part of the rice. Now Persians use Basmati rice, which are long grains of fragrant white rice that don’t stick together like Asian Jasmine rice. Now it’s best to go to your local Middle Eastern or Indian [...]

Your daily Benz: Planking baby.
By Jane on July 22, 2011
Planking is this new crazy trend where people will lay stiff like a board (plank) and take pictures of it in random places. It’s all the rage and the new “cool” thing to do on Facebook. Plank and post to FB. Planking baby Benz!! For my friend who loves to plank. “Mommy why do you [...]

I saw this on one of my friend’s Facebook wall and found it QUITE amusing. A woman is standing in front of a mirror, nude, staring at herself and not liking what she’s seeing one bit. Turning this way and that, she says to her husband, “I feel fat, old, ugly and saggy, and I [...]

Greed is the root of all evil.
By Jane on June 13, 2010
I have burnt my mouth and tongue taste testing food before it was ready. I can’t taste anything but that scratchy feeling in every bite. Now, the skin off the roof of my mouth is peeling as well. Greed really is the root of all evil. -Jane, Greedy Cook.

I love movies where chicks kick ass. One of my all-time favorites is the Matrix. Trinity is da bomb! We just happened to watch it recently and my girls LOVED it, especially Thelma. The next day, I was surprised to see that a mini-Trinity was walking around our house.

Favorites
By Jane on October 10, 2009
I’m not sure how many different pics I can get at Starbucks but I took this yesterday as the rain was rolling in. It just started sprinkling so I had to move tables to take cover. Yes, like a die-hard golfer, I will endure rain. My favorite are thunderstorms with the sun still peeping thru. [...]

We’ve made up. Now for some Jacuzzi fun.
By Jane on June 18, 2010
Now that we’ve made amends, it’s back to Fun with Jane and Dick. Since Dick did finally cleaned the jacuzzi, We leave it cold so we can enjoy it given the crazy 90+F, sunny, hot and humid weather. This lighting is quite flattering. LOL. Trust me, there are stretch marks and flabbiness. You know I’m [...]

Apparently, anyone can call a salad a “Greek” salad these days simply by adding some crumbled feta cheese on top and some olives. FETA CHEESE + LETTUCE + OLIVES = GREEK SALAD What’s really weird when you order a GREEK salad and then the guy behind the counter says… “Would you like Ranch or Italian [...]

Jane: Korean Tofu House and Bibimbab Newbie
By Jane on January 9, 2010
Lucy, Martha and I decide to go to Korean Town close to downtown LA to a Tofu House for lunch. I love Korean food and I’ve had Korean BBQ before but have never been to a tofu house. There are quite a few of these tofu houses in LA, especially in Korean Town but Lucy [...]
EVERYDAY OSHO: Amatuers and Experts. Don’t be an expert. Be an amateur!
By Jane on January 27, 2011
Today I may be a photographer, blogger, property investor and manager, entrepreneur…tomorrow I may want to be a hairdresser, a chef, a stylist, a gardener, or a carpenter. Who knows? Life is short. I don’t think I would want to do the same thing for the rest of my life. I have many more things [...]

Your official SNEAK PEAK at our new Art Lounge in Gotham City.
By Jane on April 21, 2011
We haven’t officially opened our doors yet but we have been working long and hard on yet another business venture. Aside from our rental properties, we also have a couple of commercial spaces uptown. In fact, they are right around the corner and in the same building as our Studio Condo. This was strategic planning [...]

The girls are crazy about their daddy and whenever he travels, we all miss him dearly. The girls leave messages on his dry erase board to show how much they’ve missed him. They also know how to write their names in Persian. -Jane, Mommy to Thelma and Louise.

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 [...]

Girls Only Trip – Taking Care of Business…and Dinosaurs
By Jane on September 13, 2009
Dick has been out in Cali visiting his family for two weeks and so I’m left here to take care of the things that he can’t. Usually, it’s Dick who drives four hours to Gotham City whenever we have to take care of our residential rental properties, the car business, or our commercial properties. The property that we just cleaned up is still vacant and there are two girls who are interested in looking at it. We have a friend who can show the property for us but since he has no vested interest in it, I feel it’s better that I show it myself. I decide to take the girls and hit the road. This is going to be a nice one-nighter girls-only trip!
