Because my parents live less than a mile away from me, we’re always over there for dinner. Any time I’m lazy to cook, we call up my parents to see what they have. When I was in college, I would go home on weekends and raid my parents fridge to see what I could bring [...]

OMG!! Just found some of my childhood stuff: The Green Index Card Box.
By Jane on February 25, 2010
I was going thru my old room at my mom’s house. She’s your typical Vietnamese woman that keeps everything. Although I’m not usually a fan of hoarding, there are some things that bring back so many memories and give me a good laugh. So, I think this might be a series of posts as there [...]

Jane: Non-fan of randomly discarded gum.
By Jane on September 8, 2010
Unbeknownst to me as I stepped leisurely out of my car, I put my foot down right on a JUICY, STICKY GLOB of GUM. Freakin’ A!!! On top of that, I drop my FREE COFFEE CARD from Starbucks right on it as well. Double FREAK! Gum is only good when you’re chewing it, otherwise, it’s [...]

By Jane on January 5, 2011
I’m Asian and my hair is naturally straight. However, I love that messy, wavy hair look that gives you that cute, bed-head look that you often see the Celebrities donning. Except, getting that messy look takes work! Here’s my version of how to get that look. WHAT YOU NEED What you’re going to need is [...]

Need to relax? Candle therapy is the best!
By Jane on May 10, 2010
This Jane LOVES candles. They’re so romantic and great for relaxing. I especially love using tea lights. All my candles are placed in STRATEGIC locations for a specific overall DESIRED look and feel, highlighting particular things.

All Work and No Play??? NO WAY!!!
By Jane on August 31, 2009
We just had some tenants move out of one of our residential rental properties and so, it’s time for the cleaning crew to come in. By cleaning crew, I mean myself, Dick, and the girls. By doing it ourselves, we save big and the girls love a change of scenery. So, we pack our bags for a few days but since there’s nothing in the townhouse, so we also pack blankets, pillows, food and stuff to cook with (this helps cut down on expenses and time since we can just stay put and work). Yes, I’m a slave driver! No,

I’m Going to Finish My Peach First
By Jane on August 29, 2009
DICK is driving me around METROPOLIS for a photo project I’m doing with www.buyusafirst.org. John Gibson, CEO of United Intelligence Corporation, is an entrepreneur who has several business of his own and also works as a consultant for women entrepreneurs. John is also my husband’s, mother’s, cousin’s husband. I meet John for the first time in California a month ago and immediately I like him. He’s Super-intelligent, seems to take everything in stride and is always smiling. Doesn’t he look kinda like Bill Gates?

Thelma and Louise eating worms?
By Jane on November 11, 2010
Whenever I am lazy to cook and need something fast, I always check to see what kind of INSTANT RAMEN I have in my pantry. Today, we have Chapagetti. It’s a non-soupy, instant noodle that tastes like a black bean sauce. Very yummy! Image by www.homecookingdiary.com. (I threw away the packaging before I remembered to [...]

By Jane on April 8, 2011
After the co-op, we rushed to bring Thelma to the training academy she attends. Louise and I decided to be out in the sun, rather than sit in the car and wait, so that we can get our Vitamin D and enjoy the beautiful weather. Kids never get sick of bubbles. And look, Louise found [...]

Accidental texting could be dangerous. Jane falls victim!
By Jane on November 10, 2011
It’s a beautiful, sunny fall day outside where the weather is a warm 65F. It’s coffee time and I am meeting up with my girls June and Confuscia at Starbucks. Since my Dad was supposed to be home, I was going to run by and drop off Benz so they could hang out. But, when [...]

It seems that the FTC, the Federal Trade Commission, is targeting bloggers and celebrities in their newest revision of their “rules” for endorsements and product reviews. Apparently, celebrities such as myself, are going to have to start disclosing that they are getting paid to endorse a product or if they were sent a product for [...]

Starbucks to change their logo and it’s UGLY. WTF?!?!?!
By Jane on January 6, 2011
So I was just browsing CNN.com and noticed that Starbucks was changing their logo. Check out the story HERE. So UGLY! I am not a fan. They need to keep the old logo. Seriously, did they use the same marketing company as the GAP? GAP got a huge backlash when they announced they were going [...]

Translations from Aussie to American English.
By Jane on April 15, 2010
Whilst (Aussies say this alot, which is where Lucy picked it up from when she lived in Melbourne and has permeated into this Jane’s vocabulary.) my cousin was here visiting us from Australia, it was difficult understanding her at times. Not because of her accent, which is supercool, but because they have their own vocabulary! [...]

Maybe I should get one of these…

Saw this the other day. I always wonder why people get personalized tags. Must be an ego thing. Anyway, I can relate to this one. -Jane, Lover of Starbucks

Ashereste Recipe: Persian Vegetable and Bean Hearty Soup. So great for cold weather.
By Jane on February 17, 2010
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.

How to get a perfect soft boiled egg.
By Jane on October 13, 2010
If you are not a fan of hard boiled eggs, you should try soft boiled eggs. A soft boiled egg is an egg that is boiled only to the point that the white is fully cooked but the yolk is still liquid and tasty. Over the weekend, on a fresh beautiful morning, I made Dick [...]

No TV = Creativity = Louise: Taxi Driver
By Jane on August 31, 2010
I’m not sure if you remember but we don’t have any TV channels, not even the basics. We have TVs and we’ll rent movies or watch whatever we have, but I cut the TV a while ago. The girls were watching it all day. Dick would get sucked in as well and I almost never [...]
