Spicy Black Bean Sauce Chicken

At 3 years old, Jewel is able to tell me, " Mommy, my throat is pain." I thought she was joking with me but I dare not risk not bringing her to the doc.

This is her at the clinic. She looks fine to me. After the doctor checked her throat, she really got sore throat. Guess better take her words seriously for now.
