About a week ago, Thelma told me she wanted her next bike to be a BMX. Girlfriend is way FIERCE. She LOVES to bike. After she said, it, I just kinda threw it in the back of my mind thinking it would be a WHILE before she got a BMX! Then, the other day while [...]

Asian secret to strong, lush hair. Uh-huh.
By Jane on July 27, 2010
I came across this article titled: “The Asian secret to strong, lush hair.” and was intrigued. I’m Asian…what’s the secret? I didn’t realize we were holding back. Reading further, I discover what I already knew…there IS no secret! It’s GENETICS people! I have thick hair (I don’t know about luscious) and I don’t use OOKISA. [...]

Remember how I told you I fall asleep easily? (No? Click HERE.) Yet another movie that I’ve only seen the first half of. Victim to falling asleep while watching a movie at home…again. When I’m physically at the movie theater I can usually stay awake. I’ve only fallen asleep during 2-3 of those. Anyone else [...]

Private Art Classes: A Look at Magda’s Home Studio
By Jane on February 18, 2010
You remember I said my girls take art classes from a beautiful woman and artist, Magda, who lives down the street from me. (Click HERE). We are so privileged to have her in our lives. She teaches the girls so much about art and I’m so thankful that she is willing to teach my girls. [...]

Sarah Palin to run for President? God help us all…
By Jane on February 8, 2010
In a recent interview on Fox News (surprise surprise), Sarah Palin said that she would consider running for President in 2012. WHAT?!?!?! I think it’s absurd and ridiculous that this rinky-dink Former Alaskan Governor think she can be our President. She didn’t even know where the hell Russia is. I mean, I’m not that great [...]

The Grandparents lovin’ on Benz when they can.
By Jane on June 13, 2011
With the girls asking to hold Benz all the time, my parents will occasionally also get an opportunity to love on Benz. My dad is so cute when it comes to babies. He could sit and stare at them forever. This little guy is getting way spoiled. Something about cuddling and napping [...]

Short hair. Long hair. Which do you prefer?
By Jane on November 15, 2010
My girls go back and forth between short and long hair. Usually, it’s summer when they want their hair short. But now, summer is over and the girls are wanting their hair to grow out. Slowly but surely, it’s getting there. Of course, by the time their hair becomes long again, it’ll be summer again. [...]

Oink Oink. We have been plagued with the Swine Flu. :(
By Jane on September 25, 2009
You never think it’s going to happen to you, until well, IT DOES. Also known as H1N1, flu from pigs is what it is. Sounds disgusting huh? Now it’s spreading from human to human. Google Health says the following about Swine Flu: Swine influenza is flu virus usually found in pigs. The virus [...]
Rummikub with Lucy and Mamma F.
By Jane on January 4, 2010
Another favorite game that Lucy and I like to play is Rummikub. If you’ve never played this game before, it’s a great game with family and friends. The kids can actually play too. Since Lucy just lost to me in Boggle, we decided to move on to Rummikub and we’ve invited Mamma F to play [...]

Potato Crusted Basmati Persian Rice with Saffron.
By Jane on February 21, 2011
Persians love a crispy crust (tadik) when they make their rice. Oftentimes, it is the MOST SOUGHT AFTER part of the rice. Now Persians use Basmati rice, which are long grains of fragrant white rice that don’t stick together like Asian Jasmine rice. Now it’s best to go to your local Middle Eastern or Indian [...]

Chillin’ in the car during thunderstorm.
By Jane on October 6, 2010
We happened to just pull into our driveway the other day when all of a sudden, it starts to just POUR DOWN RAIN. Since we’re into AUTUMN now, it’s already CHILLY so we decide we don’t want to get DRENCHED in the rain. Instead, we decide to just CHILL in the car until the rain [...]

Stripe bass and pickerel for dinner!
By Jane on July 18, 2010
So we pan fried the striped bass, which tastes great with rice. The pickerel was steamed and topped off with a soy-ginger sauce and green onions. I understand now why the pickerel is so coveted. Talk about YUMMY! -Jane, Fish Lover.

Despite thunderstorm forecasts, Queen Latifa takes us fishing.
By Jane on July 14, 2010
My aunt Queen Latifa loves loves loves to go fishing. We always go fishing at least once every time I’m in Toronto. Queenie has a small ski boat that really only seats 4 but because we’re Vietnamese, we’re squeezing in 5 adults and my two kids. Yahoo! Now, in order to get to the place [...]

Sade’s New Video: Babyfather. Just the nostalgia I was talking about!
By Jane on May 6, 2010
Yet another great video introduced by my beloved Perez. It’s SADE’S new video for her latest release, Babyfather. The song is SPECTACULAR! Before this Album, Soldier of Love, Sade had not released an album since her hit, Lovers Rock. I loved this album! Sade’s voice is EFFORTLESS, SOOTHING and ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The video is also [...]

Mountain of Laundry = Housework = Insanity.
By Jane on August 28, 2010
I’m not sure how it got to this point…well, yes I do. I just haven’t done it. Folded them that is. They’re clean. I dislike doing laundry very much. And, I have no qualms about sending my family out in public in wrinkled clothes. I may be anal about other things…laundry is not one of [...]

The “Other” dish that Dick can cook: Meat-Sauce Spaghetti with Baby Bella Mushrooms.
By Jane on November 19, 2009
We’re trying to figure out what to eat (as almost every night) and decide we haven’t had spaghetti in a while. I actually make a very good spaghetti but since this is the OTHER dish that Dick is good at making (Click HERE for the pan-seared Kabob recipe), I let him do the honors. I [...]

Serial Cheaters. Tiger Woods…Surprised / Not Surprised?
By Jane on December 4, 2009
I’m reading all this stuff about Tiger Woods and it’s surprising, yet not really surprising. SURPRISING I guess because Tiger Woods is a mega-superstar who has this clean/good boy image, a gorgeous wife and two kids. I think he’s fugly and lucky to have such a beautiful wife. People always wonder why men stray when [...]
