General Tao's Chicken

The Canton Palace in Loveland, CO, makes the best General Tao's Chicken ever. I met The Boy at the airport with a cooler to put his precious cargo into. We ate it for dinner last night with sticky rice. I was just happy, the Boy's back and I'm eating chicken.

The proprietess called to congratulate me on the pregnancy and give me parenting advice, the best of which was don't let the kid have a choice of food. Never ask a little kid, "What do you want, honey?" You're the boss and you tell them they're eating what you're eating. She has great kids and this makes sense to me, so I'm inclined to try and remember that.

There's enough left for me to have General Tao's Chicken today for lunch and maybe tonight for dinner. I'm so thrilled.
