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 [...]

MUSHED AND STRANDED on the Interstate: The first time I ever ran out of gas.
By Jane on January 25, 2011
The first time I ever ran out of gas was 11 years ago when I was living in Toronto. I was on my way to work at the Ford F150 plant and out of nowhere, my car starts to slow down on the QEW (An interstate in Toronto). At the time, I owned a brand [...]

We goin’ ridin’ in our PINK CADILLAC.
By Jane on February 15, 2011
No, not me! Although, I spotted one the other day on the road. It’s such a horrible tone of pink, like florescent or something. Florescent anything is heinous. I’m like, who would drive such a thing? Upon closer examination, I see the side emblem. Ok, Mary Kay, makes sense now…except…it was a DUDE driving the [...]

Bold and beautiful: Thelma sports a head dress just because.
By Jane on May 7, 2010
The other day, Thelma had found a black rag that was once part of Dick’s shirt. It had just been washed. She decided she wanted to wear it. She looks just adorable!! In Muslim cultures, older girls and women are REQUIRED to wear head dresses to cover their head and hair. I think it’s awesome [...]

Thelma and Louise, awesome baby helpers.
By Jane on July 11, 2011
Because they girls are now 8 and 9, they’re big enough now to do many things themselves and they are fantastic helpers with the baby. That’s some good planning on mine and Dick’s part…NOT. Even still, the girls are the best helpers a mommy could ask for. Remember when I told you lazy busy parents [...]

Winter and 78F in LA. How nice.
By Jane on January 10, 2010
It’s pretty warm considering the rest of the country is getting snow. Lucy’s car is reporting 78F for the outside temperature. Its weird because in the near distance you can see snowcaps on the mountains right in front of us. -Jane, Lover of Warm Weather

Oscar roasting on an open fire.
By Jane on December 17, 2009
I had a little bit of fun with Oscar today. It’s a wonder why he’s not that fond of me.

Thankful that we are unscathed by record hail, rain, thunderstorms, and tornados.
By Jane on April 28, 2011
The South was hit SUPER HARD by a tremendous amount of thunderstorms, tornados and crazy hail. Some of my friends were reporting baseball and golfball-sized hail, dinged-up cars, damage to their houses, and leaking roofs. Dick was out of town so we went to my parents’ house. As soon as we heard the pounding of [...]

Painting the girls room. We’re going TECHNO! Color #1.
By Jane on March 7, 2010
It seems that around this time every year, when it starts to warm up, I get this urge to paint. Yes, this Jane loves to paint. I’ve been wanting to do the girls room for a while. The last time, I just painted some polka dots all over it with leftover paint I had over [...]

Video of me painting flowers and butterflies on the walls.
By Jane on March 10, 2010
Here’s a clip of me painting some flowers and butterflies on the walls…fast forwarded 2000 times. I woke up in the middle of the night and worked until morning on this. Nighttime is the only time to work. No interruptions…just quiet. Ahhhhhh. The girls were sleeping in mine and Dick’s room while I was working [...]

In LA, you spend a third of your life in your car…
By Jane on December 14, 2009
It’s taking me some time to get into my groove here…so hard to find the time to blog. All my time is spent in the car, stuck in traffic, getting from place to place. It takes at least 45 minutes to get anywhere, even just driving 5 miles takes this long. Five miles in Metropolis [...]

Louise works “hard” for her money and gets called to do another modeling job.
By Jane on October 24, 2011
Louise gets called in to do another modeling job. The last job we did together as a family when we did the Bayliner Shoot but it’s been a year since Louise had a job by herself. Remember the Denktek flossers? I’m trying to figure out all the logistics because Dick is out of town, I [...]

Jane stalks a LOTUS ELISE. What a sweet little sports car!
By Jane on April 28, 2010
The other day I was driving home and I spot this BEAUTIFUL SPORTS CAR. I didn’t know what it was so I tried to speed up so I could get a closer look at it. It’s a LOTUS. Of course, immediately I think ESPRIT, like the one in Back to the Future. The back is [...]

Using my Gucci bag while I cut the grass.
By Jane on May 17, 2012
The other day I was getting ready to cut the grass. I always take my cell and because I was going to take some pictures (cause I know how much you love seeing me get all sweaty and dirty), I needed a place to put all this crap. With no pockets on my clothes, I [...]

Getting our vegetable garden box ready.
By Jane on May 21, 2012
I used to have a vegetable garden every year, until one year, I just started to get too busy with work, kids, etc. And even though every year we would talk about doing another garden, it would never happen. This year is different. IN PREVIOUS YEARS It used to be that we would have all [...]
