Gabby laughed a little, going to the sink to wash her hands. She opened the fridge and, after some thought, procured a few items for Bran to work his previously untapped cooking skills on. "Good, yes, let's keep all fingers and other body parts intact. You never know when you might need them," she said, arranging the vegetables - shitake mushrooms, shallot, and scallions - on the cutting board, then handed him the knife. "Can you handle chopping these? I'll give you some tofu when you're done there, and I'll work on the sauce. Does pad Thai sound okay?" she asked, taking a sip of wine. It was one of her favorite dishes, and she had picked up a recipe for vegetarian pad Thai while overseas. Plus, she had some spring rolls she made earlier, that were sitting pretty in a Tupperware container in the fridge, so this dinner would be a good time to heat them up. Delish!
