I know it’s weird to be learning how to cook Persian food from a Vietnamese woman. But, I’ve seen the Persian recipes out there, and there are NO PICTURES! So, for those young Persians who don’t know how to cook or for those who just want to try some Persian yumminess, here is a picture-filled [...]

Are there Depends for pregnant women??? The Preggar-Pantiliner???
By Jane on December 15, 2010
Freakin-A. Someone needs to design some Depends or something for pregnant women. It needs to be called the Preggar Pantiliner. (I need to trademark that. Remember where you heard it first!) If you ever hear me sneeze one of my big karate-chop sneezes and then follow it with “Damn it!”, it’s because I’ve just peed [...]

We walk to Chinatown for some late eats with my Uncle Diddy: Star Athlete.
By Jane on July 21, 2010
After Eminem, MIA and I closed down Andy’s Pool Hall, we walked back to my Aunt’s place to find UNCLE DIDDY was still awake. DIDDY: THE STAR ATHLETE Back in the day, Uncle Diddy was a STAR ATHLETE in his youth and exceptionally good-looking for a Vietnamese boy. Most are short and he’s almost 6-feet…quite [...]

Pathetic Oscar waiting for his Mommy.
By Jane on April 11, 2011
My sister’s dog, Oscar, is a total Momma’s boy. Every time my sister leaves him at the house to go somewhere, he sits pathetically…waiting patiently for his Mommy to return. Look at his sad, timid face! So sweet… And so pa-te-tic! Yippeeee! I hear Mommy coming! As soon as he heard the car pull up [...]

Jane: Possible Pimp-tress of Rides???
By Jane on February 10, 2010
WHAT IS DICK DOING? Seems like I’m doing all the work while we’re in Gotham City? Well, yes, I’d like to think so but actually, I have to give Dick “some” credit. While I’m slaving away, scrubbing nastiness, Dick is running around trying to finalize the purchase and transport of a new car. We’ve bought [...]

Trader Joe’s Italian Dinner in 30 minutes. Tapenade Pasta, Sardines, and Salad.
By Jane on February 19, 2010
Since Dick and I were arguing about making the bed, there was no time to make dinner. So, I just threw some pasta together…you can get all the exact ingredients (for the major stuff) in this recipe at TRADER JOE’S. We discovered this great tapenade pasta one day while shopping at Trader Joe’s where they [...]

Lucy gives the girls “shoulder buddies”.
By Jane on June 12, 2011
Lucy happened upon these “Shoulder Buddies” while at the airport and bought them for the girls. They look like these little crazy haired little “pets” that sit on magnets. One is named “Goal” and the other “Crush”. Aren’t they cute? I just noticed, they don’t have any arms. So what you do is put your [...]

Jane and Dick: Country-bar Halloweeners.
By Jane on November 4, 2011
I love going out for Halloween because I love to dress up but I also like to see everyone else dressed up too. And, instead of having a party, I like to go out where there are lots of people who are dressed up. Remember when Dick and I hit the club dressed as a [...]

Girls, if you want new Converses and Heely’s, you’re gonna have to save yo money!
By Jane on October 19, 2011
Money doesn’t fall from trees (although it would be really nice if it did) and I get super annoyed when my girls run up to me and ask me to buy this and that and many times, without even looking at the price! My first response to their request is always, “Did you look at [...]

Not a fan of spring mattresses, how about a futon mattress?
By Jane on December 29, 2010
The bed frames that we got for the girls are like platform beds where a box is not needed. Dick has a thing for futon mattresses and so wanted to get that particular kind for the girls since he believes they give you better support for your back. He hates spring mattresses. The girls were [...]
