Partly because I am in three of the groups, I keep the bar low, so I served take-out Chinese food and store-bought cookies, as I always do. But I did resolve to take the trouble to buy flowers for the table (though I must confess, I didn’t even go to a proper florist’s shop, but went to the deli around the corner from my house — lower the bar). When I want to get the flowers, I was thrilled to see that one of my very favorite flowers was available. I hadn’t even known the name of this flower until a few years ago, and I’ve always been sorry that it has such an unlovely name: ranunculus. I was moved to post this observation on Twi...

Just because you see a couple broccoli bits in that dish does not mean it’s healthy. In fact, Chinese takeout is among the worst offenders of the healthy eating guidelines; saturated fat and salt are through the roof with some dishes. Case in point: an order of General Tso’s Chicken can set you back 1,600 calories, 3150 mg sodium (exceeds 2100 mg per day limit) and 59 grams of fat (11 grams saturated – heart clogging kind – about a day’s worth). But don’t fret just yet, maybe you can have your fortune cookie and eat it too. Watch this video to learn how you can have healthy Chinese takeout.

Did you have your hamburger and eat your hotdog too? Well, Independence Day was mild for me this year. Just a mix of work, board games and Chinese food. The only fireworks I experienced were the ones I heard outside my front door. But I think that’s what I appreciate most about 4th of July — our ability to be free. Free to choose how we spend not just holidays, but time, our thoughts and in general, our lives. In addition to our site here, other places like Oprah.com have asked users to declare things like their psychological independence and reader independence, respectively. For the 4th, I’m declaring my right to choose how to spend my days. This means less pressure to do what everyone else is doing, releasing obligation to participate in activ...

It was a tough decision, because a Vietnamese restaurant was a lot more likely to have some grilled chicken-on-a-stick that Alex would eat. But homestyle Chinese favorites were calling, so we went to China Village, an ordinary but great place on Baxter Street. Since we’ve been forcing Alex to taste things at home, it wasn’t that hard to get him to try some crispy dumpling skin — and he liked it! He ate quite a few pieces. We moved onto an order of fried rice (diced pork not a hit) and and chicken with broccoli (sliced chicken fairly successful),  chicken lo mein (sliced chicken a bigger hit). S...

In 2008, both of these days passed well and quietly for us, largely because we strove to make them Super No Big Deal in the biggest way. So you think I’d have applied the same tried and true formula to Christmas and New Year’s. Granted, since we take a 3000 mile airplane trip from New Jersey to California, and (as we traveled on Christmas Eve day, due to Charlie’s having his last day of school on December 23rd) no sooner had we landed and gotten to my parents’ house then we all got into a rented minivan an...

A friend says her nephew has it.” Now don’t get me wrong. After the initial incredulity that Charlie “had” something, my extende...

It was Saturday night and we were having dinner at a restaurant on Mott Street, in Chinatown in New York. We’d avoided the whole Black Friday business/madness and decided also to avoid the crowds going to see the Christmas tree on Rockefeller Plaza near Radio City Music Hall. We’d spent the day around home, with a late breakfast and midday nap for Charlie, and then a bike ride. And then, we drove to Jersey City and took the PATH train into the World Trade Center site—there’s construction going on all the time and you can see some of it—-and then walked past City Hall and into Chinatown. Charlie had said no to any snacks, even after an hour-long bike ride...

We’re at the Journal Square PATH station in Jersey City with my parents. We get slowed down walking through the turnstiles. My mom and I look towards the up escalator and there’s Charlie’s going up up up, all by himself. “Wait, we’d better hurry and get on”…………… Second image is from Saturday night. Charlie’s showered and lying in bed, and Jim and I are talking about what the mayor of New Orleans and Hurricane Gustav, how the Pittsburgh Pirates had their ninth loss in a row, what was said in a scene from the movie On the Waterfront involving the exchange of a coat. Enter Charlie, stage left. He’s spent the summer wearing floppy outdoors-y shorts. I had heard some rus...

We went after the movie had been out for awhile and sat in the back. The movie itself was noisy and Charlie wasn’t the only child talking during the movie and moving around some. Sensory Friendly Films is a pilot program that, it’s hoped, will make the movie-going experience more friendly for families with autistic children. The program is a team venture of AMC Entertainment (AMC) and the Autism Society of America (ASA).

I got in at the San Francisco Airport mid-Friday morning and took BART, and was briefly disoriented. When I growing up, BART ended at Daly City, not the airport, and went to Fremont, Concord, or Richmond. Now it goes out to Pittsburg/Bay Point and Millbrae and to Dublin/Pleasanton, places not unfamiliar to me but not familiar as BART stops. As I waited for the train, I remembered how, with my sister and father and Yeh-Yeh, my grandfather, we all took a ride on BART when it opened—a ride t...

Are these perhaps a few reasons why a 2 year old and his mother were kicked off an American Eagle plane, or a 13-year-old’s parents had a restraining order filed against them, or a 5 year old was voted out of his class? Well yes, but actually, nope. The different-looking-and-being, disruptive-behaving, smelling-funny, yowly individual I am referring to is……………..Po aka Kung Fu Panda.

That probably doesn’t seem to be anything much to report, especially given other things going on this week. Charlie and I haven’t been to the playground in a while—in several months—and there was a time when we went at least twice a day. After school and before dinner. Mid-morning (on a weekend or holiday) and sometime after 3pm. Many posts when I first started blogging recount those hours of Charlie climbing and trying to walk up slides with the summer sun beating down on us. With the sun just starting to set, Charlie climbed up a rope net. He’s so tall now that he really only had to reach out his hands to grasp the wood edge and pull himself up. He tramped up the slides several times, then went down the rope net. I...

I asked Charlie if he’d like to see a movie and he said “yes”—-and when I brought up the subject back at home, he said “yes” and then “no” and then “yes.” “How about Alvin and the Chipmunks?” I asked. “Yes,” said Charlie. And then, “No.” By this time, it was getting too late to see the computer animated version of Dave Seville and three squeaky-voiced creatures, so I asked Charlie about dinner. “Dinner, yes,” said Charlie. As he has been saying, with a pleased smile, “Chinese...
