Since Dick and I were arguing about making the bed, there was no time to make dinner. So, I just threw some pasta together…you can get all the exact ingredients (for the major stuff) in this recipe at TRADER JOE’S. We discovered this great tapenade pasta one day while shopping at Trader Joe’s where they [...]

Private Art Classes: A Look at Magda’s Home Studio
By Jane on February 18, 2010
You remember I said my girls take art classes from a beautiful woman and artist, Magda, who lives down the street from me. (Click HERE). We are so privileged to have her in our lives. She teaches the girls so much about art and I’m so thankful that she is willing to teach my girls. [...]

Green Tea, Apple Cinnamon Cake & Art Time
By Jane on November 7, 2009
The girls recently came across a drawing book that I had when I was a kid, saved by my dear Mom (she keeps EVERYTHING). Inspired, they wanted to learn how to draw like Mommy. I told them it just takes practice and explained some basics. Try not to draw from memory (which usually turns out [...]

Girls, if you want new Converses and Heely’s, you’re gonna have to save yo money!
By Jane on October 19, 2011
Money doesn’t fall from trees (although it would be really nice if it did) and I get super annoyed when my girls run up to me and ask me to buy this and that and many times, without even looking at the price! My first response to their request is always, “Did you look at [...]

Benz’s first bath, given by his sisters.
By Jane on May 27, 2011
The nurses at the hospital were just awesome. This one here is my favorite. She was so sweet and always making sure I was comfortable. She let the girls help give Benz his very first bath… The one where they wash on the amniotic fluid and placenta off. Look at Benz’s cone head! How funny. [...]

Our first real swim meet…a very long one.
By Jane on July 1, 2011
It’s our first real swim meet of the season. The girls are excited because their best friends from Gotham City are here, you know…the ones where we had the meltdown in the parking lot? First are warm-ups. This is before all the chaos starts. Swim meets are usually pretty crowded. You have the swimmers and [...]

Celebrity Sighting: Brigitte Nielson at The Abbey.
By Jane on January 10, 2010
Dick, Mamma F, J Lo and friends go out on Christmas to The Abbey, known as one of the best gay clubs and is down the street from where Lucy lives. I went the Abbey last time I was in LA and decided not to go out this time because I’m lazy, it’s cold and [...]

I was at Starbucks the other day with June and ran into a good friend of Dick’s, VINNY. Dick has known him from 15+ years ago. I used to run into him here all the time but it looks like he takes his coffee to go now. A super funny Persian guy in his 40s who [...]

A super chill Artsy New Year’s with my three kids.
By Jane on January 2, 2012
As with most New Year’s, I don’t do much but just chill at home. For some reason, I just don’t like being out when I know so many people are out there drinking and driving. I don’t think I’ve ever done it BIG for New Year’s. Maybe one year Dick and I went to downtown [...]

Fanny Mae found a $5 dollar bill laying on a table. I’ve seen this same five dollar bill laying around as well and was contemplating taking it if I saw it laying there much longer. Well, Fanny Mae beat me to it. But as soon as Fanny Mae was about to pocket it, Louise now [...]

The usual mountains, with exception of the snake.
By Jane on July 21, 2011
With Lucy in town and it being the 4th of July weekend, we also decided to go back to the mountains for yet another day of chillaxin’ in the mountains. Are you getting bored of my stories yet? Are you starting to see a pattern in our simple lives? Nearly every summer for the past [...]

Crotch rocket or Cruiser? This Jane prefers cruisers.
By Jane on April 26, 2010
I love motorcycles. I especially love Harley’s and Indians. As you an see, I’m more of a CRUISER type than the CROTCH ROCKETS like the NINJAS. Anyway, there was an cool-looking CHOPPER that was at the auction. Just thought I’d show you. It’s not for me but I like the way it looks. My legs are [...]

Startbucks Pumpkin Muffin…a seasonal treat that needs to be permanent!
By Jane on October 6, 2010
My new favorite treat for myself is a PUMPKIN MUFFIN from Starbucks. It goes so great with my HOT CARAMEL MACCHIATO. Not too RICH or DRY like some of their other desserts, this pumpkin muffin (with cream cheese in the middle of the top) is the perfect blend of MOISTNESS and SWEETNESS. I was told [...]

The girls find fun in a sparse playroom at the local community center.
By Jane on December 7, 2010
Usually whenever we stay at our condo, the girls are always begging me to take them to the Community Center that is also right around the corner from our condo. So one day, we walk over there so they can play in this small playroom that they have there. The playroom used to have those [...]

Greed is the root of all evil.
By Jane on June 13, 2010
I have burnt my mouth and tongue taste testing food before it was ready. I can’t taste anything but that scratchy feeling in every bite. Now, the skin off the roof of my mouth is peeling as well. Greed really is the root of all evil. -Jane, Greedy Cook.

Simple and super tasty Almond Crusted Chilean Sea Bass.
By Jane on February 11, 2011
I made some Chilean Sea Bass the other day for my dad’s birthday. All I did was sprinkle salt, pepper, and my special mushroom seasoning (optional) and cooked the bass in the oven at 350F for about 30-40 minutes (or until it’s cooked). Use olive oil to coat the pan. I then added a crushed [...]

We break in June’s new crib for Halloween: Great food, great friends.
By Jane on November 2, 2011
For Halloween, we went over to my friend and partner in crime, June Cleaver’s new house. You may remember, we spent last Halloween together too. June is in the midst of making some of her super yummy Chicken Bacon Chowder and Cheddar Biscuits. Also here is Confuscia, a dear friend that I met through Benz [...]

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 [...]

Tiger Woods teacher holds press conference. Another FAME WHORE seeking their 15 minutes.
By Jane on April 3, 2010
Tiger’s former GRADE SCHOOL teacher gave a press conference the other day and is demanding an apology. Woman, you need to get off your high horse and stop trying to cash in on your 15 MINUTES OF FAME! Now I’m not siding on the SERIAL CHEATER’S side but I think it’s ABSOLUTELY LAUGHABLE and RIDICULOUS [...]
