We’re Persian, so we drink a lot of Persian Black Tea. We like to drink it hot and iced. My container for the iced tea is stained pretty badly. But, it’s impossible to clean and is only getting worse. How do I scrub this out with a sponge? I’ve tried and it doesn’t work! OXY CLEAN [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear. Dare to wear horizontal stripes.
By Jane on March 25, 2011
Typically, they say horizontal stripes are unflattering, especially if you don’t want to look more WIDE than LONG. Of course, I’d rather look LONGER THAN WIDER but there are very few items left in my closet that can still double as maternity. Like this one. Remember, I’m trying to ride it out without having to purchase too [...]

Middle man down! Injury on the job by a machete-potato peeler.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
There are certain hazards that come with the job. It’s just goes with the territory. Today, I sliced off a chunk of my skin peeling potatoes. It’s just the risk one takes when one is feeding one’s family. You don’t even think about it. You just do it. Yet another hazard in the throws of [...]

Louise gets sick on her Birthday. We make it up by going to Cracker Barrel.
By Jane on March 18, 2010
SUCKS TO BE SICK ON YOUR BIRTHDAY Louise has been counting down to her birthday since the beginning of the year. It’s crazy how much kids anticipate these things. Sadley, on the VERY DAY of her birthday, she had a horrible cough, high fever, complained of stomach pains and was breathing very strangely. Short pants [...]
Walking in the Winter Wonderland: Our Southeast Winter Storm.
By Jane on January 31, 2010
Our “winter storm” came. Only, it wasn’t really a storm. We get some snow but nothing like a foot or anything. I was hoping for at least 8 inches but alas, no. No matter, it’s BEAUTIFUL outside and we’re going for a walk. When you have snow and ice covering everything, it’s like a whole [...]

One thing that I ALWAYS do when I’m in Toronto is go eat DIM SUM. Actually, we go to this great DIM SUM place in Mississauga. It’s Ron’s favorite. Ron comes here so often that the management knows him AND can even speak some Chinese to them. There are many Vietnamese who can speak Chinese and [...]

Procrastinator turned Multitasker. Carpe Diem!
By Jane on November 10, 2009
The other day I was swamped with work to do because I had procrastinated for far too long on things that must be done. Procrastination was now biting me in the ass because I was missing out on one of the most beautiful days of Fall being that it was warm, sunny and mid-60s. While [...]

Dick has a soccer injury: ELEPHANTITIS concerns ensue.
By Jane on August 14, 2010
Dick was recently in Gotham City again and while working, he took some time off to play soccer with the guys. I always worry about Dick playing soccer because it is quite an aggressive sport, even if only the feet are involved. Dick is super competitive (He claims he could have been a Soccer Star. [...]
Tenant moves out so it’s off to Gotham City to “camp out” again.
By Jane on June 15, 2010
Although Dick goes to Gotham City all the time, I mostly go when a tenant moves out and the cleaning crew (ME) comes in. So, after showing the car and picking up Louise from swim practice, I pack and load up the car. Yes, it’s time to camp out again. Here’s all our gear. Blankets, [...]

The girls wanted to make their hair full of braids. I think they initially wanted corn rows but this Jane ain’t that talented. So, I made do and just did a bunch of small braids on their head. First, you need a bunch of rubber bands. Then you just work in small sections, trying your [...]

Using our fire pit to make Chelo Kabob the old school way…
By Jane on March 21, 2011
This time of the year is perfect for a fire pit at night so we’ve been enjoying a warm fire in the crisp evenings. Last night, we were craving Chelo Koobideh (ground beef) Kabob, one of the staples of Persian food. The MEN decided they would use the fire pit to grill our kabobs the [...]

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! [...]

KWICK KWOTE: Let’s Plant Some Flowers and Drink Some Wine
By Jane on April 4, 2010
Besides using the chalkboard paint in the girls room, I also used it on our pantry door…an ugly white eyesore. Originally when I thought to use the chalkboard paint, it was intended for this door. I wanted to be able to write grocery lists, our favorite wines list, maybe even homeschool while I’m cooking, writing [...]

It’s the year of the Rabbit according to the Chinese/Vietnamese Lunar Calendar…the luckiest of all the signs. This is also my sign. So, maybe that’s it??? Anyway, [...]

Ok, so I don’t necessarily look like a mechanic’s assistant in this pic. This was taken after all the hard mechanic work when we went to the pool to cool off. More on that later. We just got another car to sell, a Lexus ES300. It’s been well-kept and is beautiful but needs new [...]
