what do you say when your sister tells you that your mom bought 50 lbs of chicken for you? - yes 50 lbs… not, it’s not a typo. That’s 50 lbs, not 5 lbs of chicken. My mom’s been making me ginger chicken since the day I delivered Ada. She sat in the visitor’s lounge for the full 28 hours that I was in the delivery room. Yet she found the energy to have the food ready for me by the time I woke up later that afternoon.
Stupid Chinese “traditions”/customs. The only meat we can eat is chicken according to her rules. So she’s made ginger chicken, and drunken chicken for me everyday. Normally I love drunken chicken, but I can’t have it right now!
So what do I say to 50 lbs of chicken now? My sister said that she brought home this huge bag, probably taller than me, full of chicken.
