Sometimes I just have to use ingredients that are easy to find<br /><br />To cool the body (actually, just because it taste so good), I pressure cook ya pears (peeled) with barley. I can find these at the local grocery store, you see :)<br /><br />Anyway, about pregnancy, my mum never really gave me any grief about the food I ate. Except after giving birth. Then it was all about eating "heaty" foods.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04017408882651443811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475141171362545725.post-51583974281911335672011-01-25T10:45:02.765-08:002011-01-25T10:45:02.765-08:00Ack! I completely forgot to mention pregnant ladie...Ack! I completely forgot to mention pregnant ladies. Whether or not you can eat something like this depends on what trimester you're in. Cooling things CAN hurt a fetus, especially in the first trimester. Elsie (my MIL) swears that two of her sisters had self-induced abortions by simple eating EXTREMELY cooling things. (There is a kind of jell-o made of herbs that I am never allowed to have if I'm pregnant. My MIL got mad when she found out I was eating watermelon every day, to help with the water-weight gain. Watermelon is cooling. Luckily (for me) I told her I was in my second trimester. She was mollified...but told me not to eat too much.) <br /><br />The taste...it's floral, and slightly nutty. The lotus seeds are like bitter peanuts, the longan are sweet like raisins. The eggs are everybody's favorite part - after boiling in the herbal broth for three hours, the whites are tan colored and taste wonderful. They've sucked up all the flavors from the herbs.<br /><br />If you want, I can ask her what kinds of things you could have right now? What trimester are you in? She's here for chinese New Year, and having a post about these things would be a useful thing to keep on hand!LunaMoonbeamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945247325982035591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475141171362545725.post-32023531505304726932011-01-25T10:18:34.075-08:002011-01-25T10:18:34.075-08:00Wow.

Sounds so interesting. Pretty sure I am suffering from some yiht hei, or maybe it's just pregnancy.RORYJEANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599264081437703434noreply@blogger.com
