It looks like a tomato or a mini-pumpkin but actually this sweet, crunchy fruit is well loved by Asians and Persians, especially my family. It’s fall and my parents’ Persimmon tree is full of Persimmons. One year, they had close to 500 of these orange beauties on ONE tree! Then we had a late frost [...]

Birthday anticipation started months and months ago but just kicked into high gear.
By Jane on December 1, 2009
The girls always talk about what they will do for their birthdays sometimes almost 6 months in advance but when it gets down to the last 2 months, the anticipation is high. They start asking how many days until their birthday and planning every detail of it. This year…I want a pinata. This year…I’m inviting [...]

Your Daily Benz: Mommy and Daddy Vomit Victims.
By Jane on August 24, 2011
Benz is such a sweet, innocent thing that you just can’t be upset with him at all, ever. Seriously, look at this yummy, chubby thing. I totally LOVE baby’s hands and feet. So yummilicious like mini sausages. Benz is like a little monkey the way his feet clasp together. It’s like his feet are saying [...]

A little while back, I stopped using lotions. Any kind of lotions…for the hands, body, face, suntan/block lotions. I just don’t use them anymore. Why? Well, it started years ago when I was reading that book that book, Natural Cures by Kevin Trudeau. And actually, that book is not really that great of a book, but the one [...]

Every once in a while, I like to go to the auction to check out the cars. Dick usually does it but I like to see what’s there and test drive them. I thought that Eminem, being a young man, would enjoy seeing all the different cars. He did. AUDI When we check out cars, [...]

George Costanza was on to something when he made a bed under his desk.
By Jane on November 11, 2009
I am known to be able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime, in a matter of minutes. I have no trouble sleeping on a train, a plane, in a car, on the bus, etc. I’m not narcoleptic as my dear sister would proclaim but I have fallen asleep while talking on the phone before, mid sentence. [...]

By Jane on October 23, 2010
My mom sends me tons of forwards….some get read, some don’t. This one was a cute one, full of pictures of Japanese lunch boxes. The Japanese are all about PRESENTATION and it shows! But, who has the kind of time to put something like this together! They’re like pieces of art. Food Art!

It seems this last year we’ve had lots of visitors and when they visit, we usually chill on my back porch, play ping pong or go biking or all of the above. So, my latest visitor was my Cousin and his son, Dumbledore, who I call my cousin too because it’s so hard to remember [...]

We’re eating Vegan at Vegan Glory
By Jane on January 3, 2010
I am by no means a vegetarian or vegan but I do try to eat less meat. The other day, I went with Lucy, Ricky and Thelma to Vegan Glory, a fantastic vegan restaurant that uses Soy to make imitation chicken, beef, and shrimp. It was extremely tasty and I quite enjoyed it.

Right song + Wrong timing = Embarrassing Moment.
By Jane on November 25, 2009
June Cleaver and I became good friends when Thelma was in public school for Kindergarten. One of the few good things that came out of that. June and I connected right away being that June is also an exceptional artist, she’s groovy, down-to-earth and unpretentious…she’s not your typical “Mommy” and isn’t phased by some of [...]

Lucy and I look for the perfect short and fat Christmas tree.
By Jane on December 3, 2011
We usually do Christmas at my mom’s house so the Christmas tree goes over there. Every year, it’s Lucy and I who go shopping for the tree. Don’t let the picture fool you into thinking Lucy is taller than me…Lucy is sporting 3″ heeled boots. In actuality, she’s one inch SHORTER than me, even though [...]

Do you think a cop would give this guy a ticket?
By Jane on July 21, 2010
One of the biggest pains about being in a big city is parking. Street parking is allowed, you just have to pay the meter…and remember to keep paying it. Wonder if this guy paid the meter…I don’t see a stub. More than that, I wonder if the Toronto police would give this person a ticket. [...]
