We just went shopping at our local Asian grocery store and bought some fresh fish. Now to cook it up! The fancy way to say how we’re preparing this is “pan searing” the fish. Basically, we’re frying it in a pan. In Vietnamese, fried fish is called “Ca Chien” and it’s quite simple. I picked [...]

Lucy and the girls plant some herbs.
By Jane on February 9, 2011
Lucy had bought me a little French Culinary Herb Kit. It’s so cute! The herbs included are Thyme, Rosemary and Sage. So, since she was in town, she and the girls put it together. It was very easy to do. Just water the soil pellets that are included. They expand to look like this. Then [...]

Kwik Kwote: If only money came that easy…
By Jane on November 5, 2009
“Mommy, you just have to press a button and this thing gives you money?” -My ever-so-inquisitive Louise I was at the ATM getting some cash when Louise was just amazed that this machine spit out money before her eyes just from pressing a few buttons. She probably thought she discovered a new way to get [...]

As you know, Thelma is big on ice skating. She has another small, local competition coming up. Only this time, Louise has decided to join in on the fun. Since they’re doing this “competition”, I have to find them some ice skating dresses to wear. I bought this simple dress online. Then I purchased a [...]

As you can see, we’ve been through quite a few hairstyles. I can’t believe how much she’s grown. Almost makes me sad to see how fast time flies. I love you so much sweet thang. -Jane, Mother of Lovely Thelma.

Fulfilling my bet with Thelma: Camping in the Minivan
By Jane on September 16, 2009
Thelma made a bet with me that if she was able to fast and abstain from eating for a day, I would then camp out in the car with her overnight, in our yard. This is not something I’m too excited about doing and I thought hoped maybe she would forget about it but alas, [...]

You gotta know when you hold em’.

You know how whenever you go to the casino there are a bunch of Asians? They’re probably Vietnamese. For some reason, Viet people love to gamble. At least some of them. Well, it’s because we start them young. Haha. Just kidding. We do not gamble. I am not a fan of gambling. I can count on [...]

The MADNESS that is Black Friday at 2:30 in the morning!!
By Jane on November 26, 2011
I’ve never been to any BLACK FRIDAY event. Normally, it starts at 5-6AM and I’m just not inclined at that hour to awake from my REM sleep to go and stand in a long-ass line, out in the cold, push and shove, and run around like a madwoman to try to get a few deals. [...]

There’s a viral post going around on Facebook with accompanying photo below about a baby mouse who chewed through a box of Viagra at a pharmacy. Not sure if this is for real or not but it’s nonetheless pretty funny! Have a MOST EXCITING weekend my friends. Hopefully just as excited as this mouse. -Jane, [...]

Gourmet and natural pizza at its best!
By Jane on October 15, 2009
Right after the park and right before we take Dick to the bus station, we grab dinner at one of our favorite pizza places to eat. Super yummy and completely natural if not organic. The atmosphere here is hippy-chic, artsy, mellow, and the food is AMAZING. They are known for their pizza but they also [...]

Man, do I love watermelon. Oh, and being lazy to spit out seeds, I prefer seedless. I’m so excited that watermelon season has started! I pretty much live off watermelon in the summer. That and corn on the cob! Looks like I tried to stash one under my dress no? (Which you may recognize. [...]

Your daily Benz: Pouty lips and actual tears!
By Jane on July 13, 2011
Sweet Benz is usually a happy, smiling chill baby. But sometimes, when he’s starting to get a little fussy, he does that stick-out-the-bottom lip pout. It’s the cutest thing and when you see it, you just want to give him anything his heart desires! It amazes me how babies innately know how to do this. [...]
