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 [...]

I Hop, U Hop, We All Hop for IHOP!
By Jane on August 30, 2009
We only eat out occasionally when I’m lazy to cook or there’s a special occasion. Today was a lazy day so we decide to take a bike ride out the INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PANCAKES for breakfast. Now, I’m a mediocre, well almost novice bike rider. My limited riding in my childhood involved a used Pink Panther bike my mom Fanny Mae bought at a garage sale. My sister and I shared it and we took turns riding up and down my neighbor’s 200ft driveway. Back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. You get the picture. Fanny Mae didn’t allow us to ride on the neighborhood streets for fear that we would get hit by cars.

Recently, we’ve been having some amazing weather for February in Metropolis. Sunny, mid 60s and beautiful. So, we moved the classroom outside, cause you can do that when you homeschool. The girls just spread out a blanket and bring their assignments outside. I’m also there in the event there are questions. And, I’m getting the [...]

Jane finally pops! Our baby has arrived!
By Jane on May 19, 2011
Introducing our new SON!!! I can’t tell you how over the moon we are that he has finally arrived. And because our family can’t do anything the “normal” way, it’s quite a story (to come). But first, I thought you would like to see him. At 6lbs 4 oz, 19 inches long and coming about [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear: I recycle Lucy’s black shirt and match it up with some Gap Maternity Jeans.
By Jane on January 3, 2011
Lucy has a lot of old clothes at my parents house that just sits there…day after day, month after month, year after year. So I’ll often go through it to see what I can use since she isn’t! Why waste I say. Recycle! Take this black shirt for instance. Actually, Louise found this shirt in [...]

Daddy combing baby Benz’s hair. Really???
By Jane on January 29, 2012
Dick was going to take Benz for a short walk around the block using the Baby Bjorn. Prior to leaving and being the pretty boy that he is, he stopped by the bathroom to make sure he was looking good now that he has an added accessory…our son. I then glance over and see Dick [...]

Not a fan of laptops but starting to change my mind.
By Jane on August 29, 2010
At Starbucks again. The weather these days is just perfect. I bring the hubby’s tiny laptop so that I can kill two birds with one stone (Not that I would ever intentionally try to kill a bird. Yes, I did peg that one bird but that was an accident.) I’m not a fan of laptops. [...]

We’ve caught a skunk. Now how to get rid of it???
By Jane on July 8, 2011
My mom had set out a trap to catch a pesky groundhog that keeps ravishing her garden. I can understand her pain because I have a few myself but I don’t have a vegetable garden this year so I don’t mind as much as usual. In past years though, my wonderful neighbors (Sharon & Ozzy) [...]

We’re Cleaning HOUSE! With tenants out, it’s time to clean up!
By Jane on February 9, 2010
Although my tenant did a pretty good job cleaning, there are some things that tenants always miss. AIR FILTERS We always remind our tenants to change the filters in the house, and they could give two shits less what the air filter does. It never gets replaced. I don’t know why Dick has me even [...]

Airing out my dirty laundry, hitting the kitchen, and dumping into the war room.
By Jane on February 17, 2012
I continue with Day 2 of cleaning and I noticed that the laundry machines are all dusty so I decided to attack that whole area next. Between the machines are those reusable cloth/durable plastic grocery bags and coolers and more bags. I notice though that the ones on the bottom are moist and there’s dust [...]

Caffeine while pregnant…just can’t take the coffee out of this Jane.
By Jane on March 3, 2011
Yes, that’s me and the hubs at Starbucks. Bawk! Pregnant and drinking caffeine. Pregnant women just love it when you tell them they shouldn’t be drinking caffeine. What can I say, I live dangerously. It is a myth that pregnant women are to avoid caffeine completely and actually pregnant women can consume about 200mg of [...]

OMG, do my eyes deceive me??? Kate Gosselin…is that you??!?!??! Where are your EIGHT kids??? While at my usual hangout, I was surprised when I thought I saw Kate Gosselin.

Louise has been craving my turkey burgers since we haven’t had them in a while. It’s been too cold to grill so I’m just going to sear them on my stovetop. INGREDIENTS FOR THE BURGER: Ground turkey, buns, onion.

Attraction to others based on Survival.
By Jane on April 9, 2010
One night while we were over at my parents house, we were watching TV. We don’t have any channels at our house because: (1) We don’t have time to watch TV. (2) I would use it as a babysitter too much. (3) My kids would harass me constantly to buy every toy advertised. (4) I [...]
