So my dad’s birthday was 2 weeks ago and I couldn’t post anything on here (and then I got busy) until we gave him his presents in case he actually looks at this site. :) So first we had the “funny” present. This was a sushi pillow made by theoriginalsushipillow.com. I chose the salmon nigiri. I can’t even write about this without laughing. This is just funny. That said the workmanship and choice of fabric is fabulous. I have no idea where they ever found silk that looks so much like raw salmon.

The other present was a home soda maker from Soda-Club. This little gadget uses a bottle of CO2 to carbonate a liter of water at a time. You can then add flavor of your choice, via juice or various flavor concentrates from Soda-Club. One bottle can carbonate about a 110 liters of water. I would like to say that it is very easy to over-carbonate the water. Hence my coining of the name “burping juice” over the course of that weekend (March 31st). There was an actual purpose to this gift though (besides being able to burp on cue). Dad is drinking oodles of soda water these days and if we take this to Prudence, no one has to haul lots of heavy bottles of it down there. Clever, no?
