If Max Johnson was in school last June, he might not have taught himself to smoke meats. Or to make Beef Wellington.
But Max was home, doing his classwork remotely, when he was given an assignment to learn a new skill. The idea was that it should be something that would make him a little more self-sufficient and prove that good things could come out of the pandemic and being stuck at home.
