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.

I suppose if I were getting ready to step in shit, you’d let me.
By Jane on April 3, 2012
It’s 4:30am and Dick and I had just gone to bed around 2:30am. Benz ends up waking up crying for milk, so you can only imagine how tired I am. But there’s no more milk so he needs a refill. So, I look over and see that Dick is not going to move, even though [...]

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 [...]

The Paparazzi are hanging out at the Ken Pave Salon waiting for Jessica Simpson .
By Jane on January 8, 2010
We had just gotten back to Lucy’s house and there’s a huge crowd of paparazzi outside of Ken Pave’s Salon. I’m wondering who they’re waiting for but given that it’s Ken Pave, I’m assuming it’s either Eva Longoria or Jessica Simpson.

Finally Jane sees a celebrity: Another Jane…Lynch from Glee at Urth Cafe.
By Jane on January 11, 2010
It’s our last day in LA and we had just spent the night at Lucy and Martha’s house. We wake up and decide to go to Urth Cafe AGAIN for breakfast. Yes, if they had one in Metropolis, I would be a regular there as well. Lucy, Martha and the girls head over there first [...]

My sleeping beauties… I can’t believe how grown they are. Just the sweetest things in the world. I adore these girls. Such a difference from when Thelma was 18 months and Louise was just born. Louise was literally 3-4 days old. It’s true what they say…kids grow too fast. I can’t believe it’s been 8 years. [...]

Matching paint on a Friday night at the Home Depot. Fun…NOT!
By Jane on June 16, 2010
Our very first house is now one of our rentals and we just had a tenant move out. It was decently cleaned by the previous tenant and Dick seemed to think it was good enough but this perfectionist is not happy with “good enough”. A tenant doesn’t want to see remnants from the previous tenant, [...]

Green Tea, Apple Cinnamon Cake & Art Time
By Jane on November 7, 2009
The girls recently came across a drawing book that I had when I was a kid, saved by my dear Mom (she keeps EVERYTHING). Inspired, they wanted to learn how to draw like Mommy. I told them it just takes practice and explained some basics. Try not to draw from memory (which usually turns out [...]

Damn those word confirmations that verify if you’re human!
By Jane on August 13, 2010
I just love how these days you have to type in word confirmations where you have to use Million-Dollar Man type vision to try to decipher MORPHED ILLEGIBLE WORDS so the system can identify that you are indeed HUMAN and not some computer who is generating a bunch of automatic posts or whatever it is [...]

We venture out of our bubble and head to the MALL…it’s only been two years!
By Jane on March 7, 2011
I never go to the mall because everything I NEED is at the back of my house. So, I hardly ever leave “the bubble” and the mall is OUTSIDE “the bubble”. Plus, there’s nothing I NEED at the mall. Lots of stuff I WANT but not really NEED. And, if I am actually allow for time to spend at [...]

Pregnancy Woes: Grumpy Preggar in da house.
By Jane on January 6, 2011
First semester was all about the fatigue, nausea and morning sickness. However, it seems the second semester, I’ve gotten over that and have moved on to being more moody. I think it’s the hormones but I feel like I’m PMSing BIG TIME. Whereas in the first semester where I was too tired to get wound [...]

Did that Truck just run over a bunch of chickens?? No, it’s just FUZZY/FURRY trim. WTF???
By Jane on April 20, 2010
I was at the gas station getting gas when an SUV pulls up. I thought for a minute my lasered eyes were failing me because the car looked kinda BLURRY DIRTY but when I finally confirmed that indeed my vision was PERFECT, I realized that the truck was not dirty but FUZZY WUZZY. WTF are [...]

Thelma and Louise get dressed to go to “work” in fashion..
By Jane on May 3, 2010
Thelma and Louise were playing pretend the other day that they were both going to work. “What do people wear when they go to work?” “It depends on where you work. Where do you guys work?” “We work in FASHION. Like in the Devil Wears Prada.” “Well, then just put together whatever you think is [...]

OMG!! Just found some of my childhood stuff: The Green Index Card Box.
By Jane on February 25, 2010
I was going thru my old room at my mom’s house. She’s your typical Vietnamese woman that keeps everything. Although I’m not usually a fan of hoarding, there are some things that bring back so many memories and give me a good laugh. So, I think this might be a series of posts as there [...]

The Best Green Tea Ice Cream EVAH!
By Jane on July 13, 2010
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 [...]
