"Ummm.... I'll get Combo No. 6"
I had my braces tightened again yesterday, and now have the elastics in there between my top and bottom row of teeth. Every time I get the braces tightened, I eat congee for the next 2-3 days. Well, I found a new combo. It's called the "______ fried rice and congee mix". It's exactly as the name describes. Since I can't eat hard stuff, or foods that require chewing, I get a couple plain congees and whatever fried rice is on sale (yesterday's was beef fried rice), and I mix 'em and enjoy. Num num. You'll be surprised at how good it is. And it doesn't give me the runs! (neither does plain congee alone actually)

So the next time you get your braces tightened, you can try the same.
