I had initially planned on making chicken stir fry with PJ, but because he had just gotten his braces worked on he only wanted to eat soft foods. PJ was a little preoccupied with the discomfort of his braces but he managed to stay on task and we had a great class together. He shared with me that he really enjoys fantasy stories and told me all about a long-running book series called Wings of Fire while we cooked. PJ seems to be getting more interested in balancing flavors as he was very attentive this class tasting and adjusting the rice several times before declaring it done. He even had a couple of ideas for modifications if he decides to make this dish at home.
