One day last week during youngest son’s fall break, Ben took a day off and the other 2 sons managed to find a bit of time to go surfing. I was in my happy place in a quiet house and trying out a charcoal grill set up using a wok. I’ve been inspired to try an outdoor wok after Thip’s pad thai class and middle son’s friend Brett’s parents’ shrimp and veggie stir fry. They had woks fueled by propane but I wanted to try to use most of what I already had.
