Then there were the TONNES of the typical gift - Chicken Essence. I received so many boxes of chicken essence that I could almost start selling them. Fortunately, the taste of room temperature chicken essence is still bearable. Since it's suppose to be good for my body and help me recover faster, I religiously drank it every day. Also, it was supposed to improve lactation (No wonder I'm a cow...). On top of that, I received many many DOMs. Total collection - 4 Big bottles, 1 small bottle.... It's probably going to take me YEARS to finish.... (Hmmm, I wonder who's giving birth next. The presents are already ready... hehe)
On the bright side, I also get to enjoy specially prepared, for confinement only, homemade salted chicken. It takes about 3 hours for the making of ONE salted chicken. And I had a total of THREE salted chicken, one per week. The salted chicken is absolutely YUMMILICIOUS! But, because it was very heaty, I never fail to get sore throat after eating it. Still, I swallowed every bit of the chicken.
