Today Dick and I went to the car auction to test drive cars. Tomorrow is the actual day of the auction and we need to scope out the cars we like ahead of time and make sure they are sound, clean and sell-able. I love it because I get to check out all the cars [...]

Stripe bass and pickerel for dinner!
By Jane on July 18, 2010
So we pan fried the striped bass, which tastes great with rice. The pickerel was steamed and topped off with a soy-ginger sauce and green onions. I understand now why the pickerel is so coveted. Talk about YUMMY! -Jane, Fish Lover.

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 [...]

Pomelo: The sweet alternative to Grapefruit.
By Jane on January 30, 2011
What is a Pomelo? It’s the sweeter version of a grapefruit and about three times the size of an orange. I guess Walmart spells it “pummelo”. Same thing. They’re a little pricey (About $2.50-$3.00 each) but are really yummy. I don’t like grapefruit. It’s too bitter for me. But, the pomelo is a great alternative [...]

Swine Flu: To Vaccinate or Not to Vaccinate?
By Jane on October 1, 2009
I just read that a new H1N1 flu vaccination is on its way to the public so am I in high anticipation like everyone else? I don’t know too many people who are excited to be getting a sharp needle in your arm, or leg, or anywhere else! Lucky for me that I don’t like [...]

We dine with Lucy and Ricky. Japanese BBQ!!!
By Jane on February 5, 2010
Before I leave LA to come back to Metropolis, the girls and I dine with Lucy and Ricky as one of our last meals together. They take us to a fantastic restaurant called Gyu-Kaku…a Japanese BBQ restaurant. If you’ve never had Japanese or Korean BBQ (practically the same thing), you are missing out! At the [...]

Thelma helps me with Breakfast: Grits and omelet eggs with sausage.
By Jane on November 6, 2009
I’m a Vietnamese country bumpkin at heart. I know, weird huh? Thelma wants to help me with breakfast and we’re having grits with our special version of omelet with sausage. GRITS If you don’t know what grits are, you’re missing out! (Click HERE to see what Wiki can tell you about it.) A popular dish [...]

Skeletoes, finger toe shoes…the new Crocs?
By Jane on July 23, 2011
The girls and I were shoe shopping for some sneakers for Thelma and flipflops for Louise and came across the new, trendy Skeletoes made by Fila. If you have not seen these things, they are like finger socks for your feet except they are shoes! I first came across these when I saw them on [...]

Fulfilling my bet with Thelma: Camping in the Minivan
By Jane on September 16, 2009
Thelma made a bet with me that if she was able to fast and abstain from eating for a day, I would then camp out in the car with her overnight, in our yard. This is not something I’m too excited about doing and I thought hoped maybe she would forget about it but alas, [...]

A foggy / sunny Monday Morning.
By Jane on January 18, 2010
I woke up this morning to a lovely fog AND sunshine. It’s a great start to a beautiful Monday. I can only say that though because I don’t have to do the 9-5 like other people. I used to HATE Mondays. THE BACKYARD You know how the first thing you do when you wake up [...]

We’re reviewing how to make Pillsbury Mini-Brownies from the box.
By Jane on February 6, 2010
I cook but I don’t bake that much. When I do, I use the pre-made or pre-mixed kind – I know, not very healthy. I decided to treat my girls to some brownies. We see a new Pillsbury brownie mix that makes mini-brownies and it comes with 2 trays! Louise is loving helping me in [...]

Do your kids love going to the dentist? Mine do.
By Jane on October 28, 2010
Unlike some kids, my girls LOVE going to the dentist. This is not something they got from me. I hated going to the dentist as a kid. Every time I went, I feared that the Dentist would discover yet another cavity. Eating healthy was not a concern growing up in the 80s. Wasn’t JUNK FOOD one of [...]

Next door to the place we had sushi was this cake shop. I don’t bake at all unless you count using Duncan Hines box cakes and Nestle Tollhouse Mini cookies. However, I wish I could make cakes like these.

Introducing color #3: I stray from the brochure and go HOT.
By Jane on March 8, 2010
After painting first two colors (Hep Green and Reflecting Pool), I notice that the colors on my walls are turning out darker than the ones in the brochure. However, I’m still DETERMINED to pull this room together and make it FABULOUS for my girls. The girl’s room is low lit so that’s why the colors [...]
