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.

Oink Oink. We have been plagued with the Swine Flu. :(
By Jane on September 25, 2009
You never think it’s going to happen to you, until well, IT DOES. Also known as H1N1, flu from pigs is what it is. Sounds disgusting huh? Now it’s spreading from human to human. Google Health says the following about Swine Flu: Swine influenza is flu virus usually found in pigs. The virus [...]
Like brother, like sister. Watermelon improperness…some things never change.
By Jane on September 8, 2011
Looks like someone STILL has not read my post on how to PROPERLY cut a watermelon. Some things never change. For sure, this is not the method. Seriously! Time for damage control. I had to take the knife away from my dear sister-in-law before butchered this watermelon any further. Improper watermelon cutting and eating run [...]

Rummikub with Lucy and Mamma F.
By Jane on January 4, 2010
Another favorite game that Lucy and I like to play is Rummikub. If you’ve never played this game before, it’s a great game with family and friends. The kids can actually play too. Since Lucy just lost to me in Boggle, we decided to move on to Rummikub and we’ve invited Mamma F to play [...]

Hangnails: Amazing how such a tiny thing can cause SO MUCH PAIN.
By Jane on March 12, 2010
Hangnails are the absolute WORST. They are little pieces of torn skin around your cuticles and it’s usually because your skin is dry. Mine is dried to hell from painting and washing my hands constantly. Plus, it’s winter and my bony hands just get dry. One time, I held my own hand and I was [...]

So we made it to the club and although there was a huge-ass line outside, we were not about to wait. So, we headed to the VIP line and they let us in! Yipppeeee! Look who we ran into, SLASH! Me thinks Prince Abu-bu is having a good time. So are my eskimos. And so [...]

Fanny Mae found a $5 dollar bill laying on a table. I’ve seen this same five dollar bill laying around as well and was contemplating taking it if I saw it laying there much longer. Well, Fanny Mae beat me to it. But as soon as Fanny Mae was about to pocket it, Louise now [...]

A few weeks ago, Dick and I attended the wedding of some dear friends of mine, Tiffany and Patrick. You may remember Tiffany from the Bruchetta Recipe Post. She’s the founder of GoBigHead.com. The ceremony was touching, the wedding decor was gorgeous, and the Bride was glowing.

Every once in a while, I like to go to the auction to check out the cars. Dick usually does it but I like to see what’s there and test drive them. I thought that Eminem, being a young man, would enjoy seeing all the different cars. He did. AUDI When we check out cars, [...]

Jane, amateur haircutter, strikes again.
By Jane on May 20, 2010
The boys are in need of a bit of a haircut. So, since I cut J LO’s hair the last time I was in LA, she wanted me to cut the boys hair. As I have said before, I’m definitely no professional and I’ve never been to beauty or hair school. I’ve cut women’s, girls’ [...]

By Jane on October 31, 2009
Remember when we went to the Mayfield Corn Maze? Well, I picked up a good size pumpkin there and it’s been sitting there until well…now. Thelma, Louise and I finally decided that we would carve the pumpkin. A bit last minute but better than never.
Road tripping with my THREE kids: Benz’s first trip to Gotham City.
By Jane on August 22, 2011
We had one of our rentals empty out so it was time for me to head to Gotham City again and take care of business. Remember, by cleaning crew…I’m referring to myself. The last time we were in Gotham City was during my pregnancy and I had seen our Art Lounge for the first time [...]
