We just went shopping at our local Asian grocery store and bought some fresh fish. Now to cook it up! The fancy way to say how we’re preparing this is “pan searing” the fish. Basically, we’re frying it in a pan. In Vietnamese, fried fish is called “Ca Chien” and it’s quite simple. I picked [...]

From FRUMPY to SEXY black dress.
By Jane on January 29, 2010
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 would like to announce that little Benz will no longer be a little brother but later this year will be a big brother. Yes, you can pick up your jaw off the floor now. No we did not plan it although for me, it’s not really a big surprise. Dick could look at me [...]

Dick in love with his Breville Elite Juicer. Organic carrot/apple juice coming up!
By Jane on January 4, 2011
Our Juiceman juicer that we’ve had forever died a few months now and Dick has been missing it greatly. Remember how I much I hated making the juice? (No? Click HERE.) I just didn’t like using that machine but I love the taste of carrot/apple juice. The health benefits are also unsurpassed, known to be [...]

Thelma goes CRAZY at crazy clothes day at our homeschool co-op.
By Jane on February 18, 2011
Our co-op often has a special day where the kids can dress up. We have pajama day, crazy hair day, crazy hat day, etc. Today was crazy clothes day and Thelma threw something together that morning. Pretty crazy that girl and she didn’t even have any help from her crazy Momma. I stopped dressing them [...]

Jane fails first Glucose Test and must go in for the 3-hour Test. Ugh…
By Jane on March 4, 2011
So, I failed the preliminary Glucose Test but missed the mark marginally. I scored 152 and 140 is the limit. Still, they wanted me to go in for the extended Glucose Test, which lasts THREE HOURS and fasting is required…because telling a pregnant woman to starve herself is a good thing. After delaying and forgetting [...]

Weird, fuzzy, pink, moth-looking bug at the gas station.
By Jane on October 2, 2010
We were getting gas and I was STARTLED as I passed by this ferociously weird looking bug. I showed the bug to Dick and he wanted to see if it was still alive or just a dried up dead bug. So he got something that would put some distance between him and the bug, in [...]

It’s Black Friday and I know some of you were up at the crack of dawn, even before that. Yeah, I was up at 3:30am but there ain’t NO WAY I was heading out in that freezing weather to stand in line for a $10 discount off some appliance. I may be a bargain shopper [...]

What to do with a bad watermelon? Juice it!
By Jane on July 28, 2011
You know how much I love watermelon in the summer, well, it’s always super disappointing when I get one that is mushy, powdery, pink (instead of red) and not sweet…like this one. Oh the disappointment!!! Of course, when shopping for watermelons, I always do that thumping thing that I see everyone else do…but seriously, I [...]

The Geek Squad at Best Buy has hijacked my iMac for repair of the harddrive. It’s so hard to be without my baby. Hopefully I’ll get it back today. -Jane, Mac-less

My sister-in-law, J Lo and her boys, Will and Carlton, are visiting us for a couple of weeks and my girls are SUPER EXCITED. They adore their cousins. We’re still homeschooling so Will and Carlton get to come with us to the Co-op. Coming from LA, I guess we’re considered the “cun-tree” but I’d take [...]

Thelma goes to the ER…again! Appendicitis???
By Jane on June 12, 2010
My poor thing has been having stomach pains and diarrhea all day and occasionally vomiting. I thought maybe it was just a thing that would pass. It wasn’t until that night when she couldn’t sleep and was crying because it hurt so bad that I started to become really worried. I was sleeping, when Thelma [...]

Asian Instant Ramen. A yummy, easy, quick meal. The kids love it too.
By Jane on December 22, 2009
I love instant noodles (aka ramen). It’s a fantastic and fast meal for when you are busy and don’t have time (or are too lazy) to cook. Being that we’re super busy, ramen for me is like an answer from heavan. Deciding what to cook all the time is so difficult. Sometimes you just want something [...]
