silent_rock's Journal: hungry

I like the milk commercial which shows several scenes of men frantically cleaning out the milk shelves into their shopping carts, stealing milk from a milk truck, fighting over the last milk carton, etc. and then the screen says, "Studies show that calcium in milk can reduce the symptoms of PMS." "Got milk?"

I found some dang gui (angelica root, mmmm...) and gingseng seasoning in the cabinet, so looking for chicken soup recipes on the web. Meanwhile, came across this in wikipedia:

A Cantonese cough remedy
Dried duck gizzards, watercress, apricot kernels:
* Alleged effects: relieve both Yin (resulted from cold) or Yang (resulted from dryness) type of coughing.
* Watercress is for removing excessive yang in the body.
* The sweet apricot kernels and bitter apricot kernels target the lungs.
* The dried duck gizzards are used to balance the Yin Yang of the recipe.
* Watercress is available in most supermarkets while the rest of the ingredients can be found in most Chinese herb stores.
* The ingredients are slow cooked for couple of hours into a soup, a small piece of pork is optional for flavor.
* Do not use beef or chicken in this recipe because they nullify the effects of the water cress.

Useless week.

Staying at home and not goin' anywhere.
