Loobia (green bean) Polow (rice) is a SUPER-yummy Persian dish that combines fragrant Basmati rice with a green bean tomato stew infused with lots of great taste and flavor. I learned how to cook Persian food from my lovely Mother-in-Law. She is infamous in her family for being a fantastic cook and so to keep it [...]

Trying to cool off my temper. Take the kids to a fantastic park walking distance from our house.
By Jane on June 17, 2010
After I show the house, the sun has gone down and the weather is tolerable. The girls and I decide to walk to the park. This is the only smile I’m going to be able to muster today and it’s only because I’m with the girls and Dick is not around! THE PARK Our house [...]

Homeschooling by the fireplace and in the car???
By Jane on November 5, 2010
Today was a blah, overcast, occassionally rainy, chilly kind of day. Perfect, I thought, for some homeschooling by the fireplace with some mellow music in the background (like Sade, Dido, Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Michael Franks, etc.). If they are few and far between, I welcome such days that force me to slow down. Damn my kids are [...]

Window Shopping in West Hollywood at Night
By Jane on February 2, 2010
I forgot I had taken these. It’s our last night in LA and we spend it at Lucy’s. I make Lucy and the girls go for a walk with me around West Hollywood at night. Only, we ended up walking alot further than we intended. Oh well. It was still a great time, despite constant [...]

My parents go to a Trannie Show in Thailand.
By Jane on March 3, 2011
In addition to visiting Vietnam, my parents, aunts and uncle-in-law head to Thailand for 4 nights/five days. It’s ultra cheap to go to Thailand from Vietnam: It’s an ALL-INCLUSIVE package that comes with airfare, accommodations, transportation, shows and food for 5 days was only $400 per person. A chartered trip where they take you around [...]

Jane and Dick get their Halloween on as Cop and Robber.
By Jane on November 4, 2011
Prior to the the kids having their Halloween fun, the adults had gotten their Halloween fun on too! You know I like to dress up so this year, Jane and Dick played Cops and Robbers. I told Dick to grow out his beard to make him look a little scruffier than usual so he let [...]

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 [...]

Getting around via Segway…only in Hollywood.

FREAKY EYES: Does it ever seem like someone is watching you?
By Jane on October 8, 2010
The girls spotted this tree with an eye on it staring right back at us. Weird and Freaky. That’s not drawn on there, it’s naturally like that. Then, on another day, I see the same tree…but from a different angle this time. And what do I see? TWO EYES staring back at me. Too freaky! [...]

Deck the Car with rows of Christmas lights…falalala…lalalala.
By Jane on November 24, 2010
I was amazed by how early the Christmas spirit had taken over this year. As soon as Halloween was over, Walmart had already had their Christmas stuff out and Christmas songs were already playing on the radio…and it wasn’t even Thanksgiving yet! Turns out, it’s not just businesses that are ready for the holidays. Attached [...]

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 [...]

Jane: Non-fan of randomly discarded gum.
By Jane on September 8, 2010
Unbeknownst to me as I stepped leisurely out of my car, I put my foot down right on a JUICY, STICKY GLOB of GUM. Freakin’ A!!! On top of that, I drop my FREE COFFEE CARD from Starbucks right on it as well. Double FREAK! Gum is only good when you’re chewing it, otherwise, it’s [...]

Remember our little alien sea monkey? Well, it’s grown a little since then. Our latest ultrasound…and 4-D this time. Last time I went in, the technician couldn’t get a good shot but this time, we were more lucky. Although I’m not really sure what the difference between 3-D and 4-D is…even still, it’s WAY better [...]

The US Open tennis finals were just on with Nadal and Djokovic competing. A fantastic match. Here’s my dad, Freddie Mac, and Dick chillin’ on the couch watching it. Cute! I love how my dad rests his arms on his melly belly. -Jane, Fan of Father, Son-in-Law Bonding.

My two naked men. Super duper yummulicous. I just love these guys so muchy. Sometimes it’s just easier to give the baby a bath at the same time you’re showering. My back always hurts after bending over to give Benz a bath in his plastic bath tub thing. We used to do this with the [...]
