Edamame is one of the oldest recorded snacks around, dating back to over 2000 years ago. Popular in Japan and picked before they are ripe, it is a fantastically EASY, YUMMY and HEALTHY snack. You can even find bags of whole pod edamame in the frozen vegetable section at WAL-MART so no excuses if you [...]

Next door to the place we had sushi was this cake shop. I don’t bake at all unless you count using Duncan Hines box cakes and Nestle Tollhouse Mini cookies. However, I wish I could make cakes like these.

Hearing HORRIFIC, SENSELESS stories like these PAINS ME SO MUCH and makes me SOOOOOOO ANGRY!!! It is reported that a 12-year old girl has died of INTERNAL BLEEDING after having sex with her MUCH OLDER HUSBAND (twice her age) three days before. TWELVE YEARS OLD!

Been listening to my Pulp Fiction CD alot lately. Here’s one of my favorites that I like to sing along to, pretending that I’m a fabulous singer. No, I am not singing along in this video. Enjoy! Quentin sure does know how to pick the best songs for his soundtracks. So GROOVY! This Jane digs [...]

Oh, my food baby (as Louise kindly calls my enlarging tummy) is getting even bigger. Yes, it’s a good holiday. However, regret has already hit. At this rate, baby will be due in spring. Sigh…Melly Belly. -Jane, Food Baby Carrier

FO REALZ BALLS OF FURY. PING PONG THROW DOWN.
By Jane on April 13, 2010
The other night, I beat Dick in ping pong. Quite a victory for me considering, against Dick, I don’t win often. Yes, it irks me to admit it. HOWEVER, I can feel I’m getting better. So, during dinner, I challenged Dick to another game…so I could see if last night was just a lucky game, [...]

Auntie Lucy finally gets to meet her nephew Benz.
By Jane on June 3, 2011
Auntie Lucy finally meets her nephew! I love how Benz is grabbing onto Auntie…Boobilicious! No Benz, that one doesn’t have what you’re looking for. A nice and comfy “pillow” to rest your head on, huh? Totally a boob-man! -Jane,Mommy to Boob-man Benz.

Using our fire pit to make Chelo Kabob the old school way…
By Jane on March 21, 2011
This time of the year is perfect for a fire pit at night so we’ve been enjoying a warm fire in the crisp evenings. Last night, we were craving Chelo Koobideh (ground beef) Kabob, one of the staples of Persian food. The MEN decided they would use the fire pit to grill our kabobs the [...]

I always pictured car salesmen to be fast-talking, wheelin’ and dealin’ men. Never in my WILDEST dreams did I think that I would be among them because I’m not the kind of person that likes to sell anything. I suck at it and it does not come naturally for me like it does for DICK. I don’t like having to convince anyone to buy anything. So when I started doing business for myself, I learned that EVERYTHING is sales. Shit! The one thing I can’t stand to do! One constantly has to sell themselves, whether it be their idea, their product or themselves. Sales is a must-have skill that everyone needs to learn but I must have fallen asleep in class again. (I’m infamous for my amazing ability to fall asleep anywhere and within a few seconds.)

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 [...]

These heels were not made for walking. They were made for BIKING.
By Jane on May 27, 2010
Over the weekend, Dick and I decided to take J Lo out for some drinks. We picked the Wild Wings Cafe because it has a great outdoor patio/bar area overlooking a pond and the weather is just SPECTACULAR and perfect for chilling outside. Parking is a bitch at this place (see all the cars wrapped [...]

My girls inherited their Dad’s dominant “curly-hair” gene. Well, Thelma more than Louise. Thelma’s hair has this lovely curl at the ends of her hair that makes her hair look effortlessly stylish. Super cute. I love it! The curls are even more prominent in the summer. Asians, because most of us have naturally straight hair [...]

We venture out of our bubble and head to the MALL…it’s only been two years!
By Jane on March 7, 2011
I never go to the mall because everything I NEED is at the back of my house. So, I hardly ever leave “the bubble” and the mall is OUTSIDE “the bubble”. Plus, there’s nothing I NEED at the mall. Lots of stuff I WANT but not really NEED. And, if I am actually allow for time to spend at [...]

Healthy Lunch: Tuna Fish Sandwiches.
By Jane on August 29, 2010
We love tuna fish at our house. Tuna is a great source for Omega 3s and aside, from the mayo, it’s pretty healthy…even then, you can use LESS mayo. Remember how I like to make the Tuna Sushi for the girls? They also like tuna fish sandwiches, where I substitute regular mayo for the Japanese [...]

Despite thunderstorm forecasts, Queen Latifa takes us fishing.
By Jane on July 14, 2010
My aunt Queen Latifa loves loves loves to go fishing. We always go fishing at least once every time I’m in Toronto. Queenie has a small ski boat that really only seats 4 but because we’re Vietnamese, we’re squeezing in 5 adults and my two kids. Yahoo! Now, in order to get to the place [...]

Going to ballet picnic but end up on paddleboats.
By Jane on April 21, 2010
The girls’ dance school was having a parent appreciation picnic at the park so the entire family headed to the park. There were hotdogs, drinks, popcorn and activities for the kids, like bowling, face painting, etc. We eat, hang out a little, then decided to walk around the park, let the kids play on the playground.

The Paparazzi are hanging out at the Ken Pave Salon waiting for Jessica Simpson .
By Jane on January 8, 2010
We had just gotten back to Lucy’s house and there’s a huge crowd of paparazzi outside of Ken Pave’s Salon. I’m wondering who they’re waiting for but given that it’s Ken Pave, I’m assuming it’s either Eva Longoria or Jessica Simpson.

Crotch rocket or Cruiser? This Jane prefers cruisers.
By Jane on April 26, 2010
I love motorcycles. I especially love Harley’s and Indians. As you an see, I’m more of a CRUISER type than the CROTCH ROCKETS like the NINJAS. Anyway, there was an cool-looking CHOPPER that was at the auction. Just thought I’d show you. It’s not for me but I like the way it looks. My legs are [...]

The family gets paid to spend a day on the lake for a Bayliner Boat shoot.
By Jane on August 11, 2011
Our family was fortunate enough to be selected to do a shoot for Bayliner, the boat company. I guess they liked our family’s International look. Except, poor Benz is too small to be on a boat so I had to make arrangements for him to stay home. Luckily, as I may have mentioned, my parents [...]
