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.

Lucy was in town over the weekend so we took the girls shopping for costumes since they have been wanting Halloween costumes for the last 2 months. Louise has been checking them out online and has already changed her mind 3 times…each time telling me she’s ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NOT going to change her mind. Good thing [...]

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. [...]

Back into the groove. Homeschooling at Starbucks again.
By Jane on September 29, 2011
Because the weather was so nice, and because I can’t seem to stay away, the whole family ventured to Starbucks to homeschool. It’s days like this that make homeschooling more fun and I don’t have to be muttering under my breath between gritted teeth, “I hate teaching, I hate teaching!” Usually, I’m saying that when [...]

McDonald’s Sausage Biscuit and Gravy
By Jane on October 9, 2009
All of a sudden I get a sudden craving today for a McDonald’s sausage biscuit and gravy. I haven’t had one of these in maybe over a year, probably longer. Honestly, I don’t know how long…that’s how long it’s been. I know, I know…not the healthiest breakfast in the world but that’s why I had [...]

While I was at the protest, my uncle took the girls to his house and bribed them with what else but ICE CREAM. Being that Toronto is a very international city, we’re able to buy REAL green tea ice cream from the Korean/Japanese grocery store. I say real because I have bought green tea ice [...]

Video streaming Oscar’s bowel movements??? Really???
By Jane on November 29, 2009
Oscar has this unique way of sitting. It always looks like he’s ready to take a dump. Lucy says it’s JUST the way he sits. Fine. But the dang thing FARTS ALOT so maybe he’s stopped up or something and sits like that because he’s constipated. Just a theory Lucy.

Pregnancy woes: Can’t sleep. Itchy Stomach.
By Jane on December 29, 2010
The sleepless nights have already started. It’s 4:30am. For some reason, I was under the illusion that this wouldn’t happen until after the baby is born. Tossing and turning in discomfort. And, why does your stomach have to itch so dang much. -Jane, Sleepless & Itchy.
