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 [...]

By Jane on November 24, 2010
We woke up early morning in order to hit the road to head to Gotham City. The girls brushed their teeth. We packed up the car and we was OUT! Along the way, we stopped for breakfast at none other than Waffle House. Don’t let our International looks fool you, we are totally Southerners at [...]

Accidental texting could be dangerous. Jane falls victim!
By Jane on November 10, 2011

My parents build a chicken coop: Authentically grain fed and free range eggs!!
By Jane on June 21, 2011
My mom and I have been talking about raising chickens for their eggs for about, oh, maybe 5 years now. But, for me, with kids and our businesses, I simply don’t have the time. Rather, I should say…I don’t WANT to allocate extra time spent on yet another thing that I have to care for…it’s [...]

Need a project to do with the kids? How about collaborate on a painting together?
By Jane on January 9, 2011
Louise and I were at home together while Dick took Thelma to her training academy. So, Louise wanted to do something TOGETHER and thought it would be neat to work on a painting together. Normally, since the kids always want help with stuff, I would be like, “It’s more special if you do it by [...]

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 [...]
How to PROPERLY cut a watermelon.
By Jane on May 21, 2010
It’s watermelon season (well not really but the grocery stores already have the ones imported from Mexico where they have forced grown it so that it would produce fruit for us watermelon lovers who can’t wait until summer)!

Benz explodes from being in the 5th to the 70th percentile in two months!
By Jane on August 1, 2011
It’s time for Benz’s two-month doctor’s visit and I’m running late. Surprise, surprise. I didn’t even remember that I had the appointment for that day when I woke up in the morning. I had just randomly called to see when my appointment would be, thinking it was in a few days, but the receptionist advised [...]

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 [...]
