I made Kung Pao Chicken for dinner tonight, and it was entirely flavorless. I rounded up the usual suspects, but I still can’t figure out what went wrong. I didn’t leave anything out, and I didn’t use the wrong amount of anything. The only difference was that I used chicken instead of shrimp. Surely that didn’t deflavor the sauce. Did it?
I’m flummoxed. Does anyone know what might have happened?
If you’re like me, you’re very, very bad at buying gifts in a timely manner for your spouse. If you’re even more like me, your spouse reminded you just yesterday that you’ve already bought him a Father’s Day present. So you’re all done with the shopping for awhile (hooray!).
I might not be very good at shopping, but I’m great at surfing the Internet. So put my skills to good use and get Dad a nifty something from the Photojojo Father’s Day gift guide.
(And dads in my life? We didn’t get you anything from that list, so don’t think you’re getting a present preview there.)

Poppy: Hi Ernie!
Rockford: Hi Ernie!
Poppy: Hi bath! One more animals? … That’s for fishy?
Rockford: That’s right! That’s for a fishy!
Poppy: Swim swim swim. Hi fishies!
Rockford: Oh! Splash-a-rooni!
Poppy: Splash-a-wooni! … I see water.
Rockford: I see water, too.
Poppy: I see bubbles.
Rockford: Poppy, watch the fishy.
Poppy: Big bubbles! Come on, bubbles!
