The Good Granddaughter

I am a good granddaughter and I appreciate my Popo. I have to share this with everyone as my Popo worked really hard the last few days making me lots of delicious Chinese food - each with a special meaning. The Chinese customs regarding what you should eat following childbirth are very interesting. I have eaten ginger fried rice, 2 different kinds of chicken soup, a chicken fried rice and, tonight, pig's feet soup. I have never before tired the pig's feet soup and I have to admit that it was pretty delicious. It is has a very strong vinegar taste and is supposedly very healthy for a new mother - it helps to clean out the system. Popo made me 2 huge pots so I am sharing it with my family and friends. Thank you Popo!

The bowl I ate tonight at dinner - the item on the left is a hard boiled egg - it was good.
