We love to eat Dim Sum but there are no restaurants that have this in our area. So, I have the next best thing. Frozen dumplings. So, I whipped up these fried vegetarian leek gyoza for our Sunday “brunch”. It’s fast, you just follow the directions on the bag, and voila! Serve with some sauce [...]

Dick locks the keys in the Caddie, while it’s still running!
By Jane on January 14, 2011
The other day we were going to the grocery store and so since it was cold, Dick decided to warm up the car for a bit first. It is always a good idea to warm up your car before you take off but especially in the winter. I’ve always hated having to wait to warm [...]

By Jane on February 21, 2010
It’s warm for the first time in forever, it seems. So, what do we do? Well we head to Starbucks of course!

Since having Benz and all the added time and work that comes with having a newborn, Blogging has totally taken a back seat. I’m struggling with the amount of time to spend on blogging and taking pictures versus the time spent with my family and taking care of all our businesses (and still have my [...]

Ice Skating fun turns into a trip to the ER. Yes, stitches required.
By Jane on October 30, 2009
As I may have mentioned, Thelma is taking ice skating lessons and cannot get enough of it. She wants to go at every opportunity and likes to get there early so she can maximize ice time. We went for a private lesson today to prepare for a competition that is coming up. She had her [...]

Pregnancy Woes: Grumpy Preggar in da house.
By Jane on January 6, 2011
First semester was all about the fatigue, nausea and morning sickness. However, it seems the second semester, I’ve gotten over that and have moved on to being more moody. I think it’s the hormones but I feel like I’m PMSing BIG TIME. Whereas in the first semester where I was too tired to get wound [...]

We dine with Lucy and Ricky. Japanese BBQ!!!
By Jane on February 5, 2010
Before I leave LA to come back to Metropolis, the girls and I dine with Lucy and Ricky as one of our last meals together. They take us to a fantastic restaurant called Gyu-Kaku…a Japanese BBQ restaurant. If you’ve never had Japanese or Korean BBQ (practically the same thing), you are missing out! At the [...]

Besties Biking to get Books & Reading by the Stream.
By Jane on June 13, 2010
The next day and after the sleepover, I decide to take the girls to the library…oh yeah, and we’re biking to get there. I’m coming, I’m coming! The girls wave “hi” to passersby. So advanced in their young age. I could’t bike one-handed until a year ago.

Cher comes over for a Persian breakfast at my house, in her jammies.
By Jane on December 13, 2011
My friend, Cher, is always inviting me to come over to her house and I’ve turned her down so many times because she lives “so far away” (about 30 minutes) and because I am a lazy friend who doesn’t want to leave her bubble. However, to make up for it, I instead have her come to [...]

Roadkill: Graphic and Gross. Do not look if you have a weak stomach!!
By Jane on November 16, 2009
So, I’m driving back from my parents house and I see a dead skunk in the road. It always makes me sad to see dead animals that have been hit by cars on the street and I always try to remember to say a small prayer for them. But, it’s weird because any time I [...]

West Hollywood’s local yogurt shop with a bit of flare.
By Jane on March 30, 2012
I definitely have frozen yogurt cravings when I’m pregnant so we stopped by one in West Hollywood off Santa Monica Blvd called the Yogurt Stop. And although it’s similar to your typical frozen yogurt shops these days, it’s got a bit of FLARE as well. How’s that for a logo? Pump it yourself. And top [...]

Sometimes a tom boy but still a princess at heart. Thelma was cleaning up her room and well, it needed it! I guess dressing up makes cleaning more fun. She looks just absolutely radiant in this dress. More pics below…

SOME people just can’t follow the RULES.
By Jane on April 14, 2010
You see the sign? KEEP OFF ROCKS. ALL of those people must have just missed it when they stepped over the chain and walked right passed the sign, onto the ROCKS. Later I realize that “ALL” those people were my friend, JUNE CLEAVER (pink hat), fishing with her family! GOTCHA! June, don’t you know they [...]

All Work and No Play??? NO WAY!!!
By Jane on August 31, 2009
We just had some tenants move out of one of our residential rental properties and so, it’s time for the cleaning crew to come in. By cleaning crew, I mean myself, Dick, and the girls. By doing it ourselves, we save big and the girls love a change of scenery. So, we pack our bags for a few days but since there’s nothing in the townhouse, so we also pack blankets, pillows, food and stuff to cook with (this helps cut down on expenses and time since we can just stay put and work). Yes, I’m a slave driver! No,

Jane, scissor sistah, breaks out the shears again. This time on Taylor.
By Jane on August 30, 2010
My cousin Taylor has this incredibly LONG and THICK hair. She was looking for a change so I helped her out. Sometimes long and straight is kinda boring. We take quite a bit off. Those who choose to use me to cut their hair do so at their own risk as I have no formal [...]
