So, for those young Persians who don’t know how to cook or for those who just want to try some Persian yumminess, here is a picture-filled [...]

Visiting Dick’s family in Orange County.
By Jane on April 22, 2012
You may remember me mentioning my big fat Persian family and many of them live in Orange County. Outside of Iran, Los Angeles is home to the largest population of Persians. Hence, maybe you’ve seen that new ridiculous reality show by Ryan Seacrest, the Shahs of Sunset, that feature over-the-top, super materialistic Persians. Let me [...]

Garden Show: Blooms Day for Mother’s Day.
By Jane on May 13, 2011
One of my favorite things to do with my Mom is to go to Garden Shows together so it was really nice to be able to go to our local Blooms Day for Mother’s Day. Both my dad, Freddie Mac, and Dick opted out of this one. Go figure. The Garden Show is held on [...]

Jane, scissor sistah, breaks out the shears again. This time on Taylor.
By Jane on August 30, 2010
My cousin Taylor has this incredibly LONG and THICK hair. She was looking for a change so I helped her out. Sometimes long and straight is kinda boring. We take quite a bit off. Those who choose to use me to cut their hair do so at their own risk as I have no formal [...]

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 [...]

Dogs: The latest accessory and social magnet.
By Jane on May 19, 2010
People have dogs for companionship but lately, dogs have become kind of like an accessory and social magnet.

Jane’s Maternity Wear: I recycle Lucy’s black shirt and match it up with some Gap Maternity Jeans.
By Jane on January 3, 2011
Lucy has a lot of old clothes at my parents house that just sits there…day after day, month after month, year after year. So I’ll often go through it to see what I can use since she isn’t! Why waste I say. Recycle! Take this black shirt for instance. Actually, Louise found this shirt in [...]

Trying to avoid getting pushed off the ledge to see rooftop views of the G20 Protest.
By Jane on July 12, 2010
THE ROOF In search of some worthy protest excitement, we turn the corner and then we see a bunch of people heading up the stairs to this building nearby. My aunt doesn’t want to go but as you can see, MIA is urging her. She is successful. But once we get up there, we see [...]

The Best Green Tea Ice Cream EVAH!
By Jane on July 13, 2010
While I was at the protest, my uncle took the girls to his house and bribed them with what else but ICE CREAM. Being that Toronto is a very international city, we’re able to buy REAL green tea ice cream from the Korean/Japanese grocery store. I say real because I have bought green tea ice [...]
