My kids love chicken noodle soup, especially when it’s cold. You don’t need a ton of ingredients and can easily throw it together. This time, I just used what I had. Since I had some chicken thighs in the fridge, I used that to make the broth. It’s fattier, but unfortunately, that’s the fat that makes it tasty.

Need breakfast TO GO and don’t want McDs? A healthy alternative: Omelet pita sandwich.
By Jane on April 23, 2010
Most people I know are CRAZY busy these days. Hence fast food places like McDonald’s are making a killing! However, they’re KILLING you in the process. So unhealthy!!! Here’s my HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE to that and it’s EASY. What I love about an EGG SANDWICH is that it’s MOBILE. Granted, eating in the car is MESSY [...]

Enjoying Nature: A picnic by the river in the mountains.
By Jane on September 26, 2009
Every summer we go to the mountains to chill by the river and enjoy the beautiful nature that we have access to. We unplug ourselves for the day since there’s no TV, computers, or cell phone reception. This year, we’ve been so busy that the girls and I have made a few trips with [...]

Huge hail storm in the middle of June like I’ve never seen one before.

We interrupt the current broadcast to give you the most recent update on a large hail storm that just hit Metropolis. I know, I’m stepping out of chronological order but I had to post the pictures from this crazy hail storm that just hit us. Every day we get a sporadic thunderstorm but today’s was [...]

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 [...]

I Hop, U Hop, We All Hop for IHOP!
By Jane on August 30, 2009
We only eat out occasionally when I’m lazy to cook or there’s a special occasion. Today was a lazy day so we decide to take a bike ride out the INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PANCAKES for breakfast. Now, I’m a mediocre, well almost novice bike rider. My limited riding in my childhood involved a used Pink Panther bike my mom Fanny Mae bought at a garage sale. My sister and I shared it and we took turns riding up and down my neighbor’s 200ft driveway. Back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. You get the picture. Fanny Mae didn’t allow us to ride on the neighborhood streets for fear that we would get hit by cars.

Adult Halloween Time: We’re going out!!
By Jane on November 2, 2009
So Dick and I haven’t been out in months. We’re just too busy and we enjoy time at home with our girls or playing ping pong. This year, Halloween fell on a Saturday so I was thinking of having a Halloween party at my house. But, like I said, we’re super busy and I just [...]

Fine, compromise mother f****r. U happy now?
By Jane on June 17, 2010
If you’ve noticed that I have gone back and put a bunch of asterisks in between words like f**k and f*****g or mother f*****r in recent stories, it’s because my dear husband, who loves to read about himself, does not like to be referred to in this manner. I told him that’s they way I [...]

Jane back in the day: Gen Xer and 80s Fashionista.
By Jane on September 13, 2010
Perez had something on his site about Then and Now, so I thought I would dig up some old pictures from my less than stellar teenage years. Being a Gen Xer, it is definitely apparent I was a product of the 80s. Could my hair be any taller??? Oh and yes, that’s a perm I’m [...]

We get invited to a last minute doggie wedding. Yuki & Oscar’s!!
By Jane on January 25, 2010
I had this idea to let my Mom’s new Pekingese (Yuki) mate with Oscar because I thought they would make cute babies. Lucy is up for it but reminds me that it might be difficult since Oscar only has one ball. Yes, one ball. No matter, we’re going to give it a try. Apparently though, [...]

John Mayer’s song HEARTBREAK WARFARE
By Jane on April 14, 2010
I was trolling on my favorite blogger’s website, Perez Hilton and came across some great music, as I often do on Perez. This is John Mayer’s LIVE performance of Heartbreak Warefare and this Jane totally DIGS IT! I love the guitar on this song. John Mayer is a true talent and has a pretty, smooth [...]

My painted face: Jane’s simple, unchanging and much-needed make-up style.
By Jane on September 14, 2011
I used to be the kind of person that would just be MORTIFIED if anyone saw me without make-up but over the years, I’ve become more comfortable with myself and I realized that people really just don’t give a shit. They may think in their head, “Da-ang, girlfriend look like ass without her make-up on.” [...]

Your Daily Osho: Choose Nature. Don’t be a loser.
By Jane on January 28, 2011
EVERDAY OSHO: CHOOSE NATURE Wherever you find that society is in conflict with nature, choose nature – whatever the cost. You will never be a loser. The thinking up to now has been that the individual exists for the society, that the individual has to follow what the society dictates. The individual has to fit [...]
