People say that “good broth will resurrect the dead,” and that “broth to a cook is voice to a singer”. And the best broth is home-made. I love to make my own chicken broth, because I could be fully in charge of what was in it. With broth homemade, I could totally avoid MSGs, add the right amount of salt and other seasonings and trim out most of the fat.

But sometimes I don’t mind to use a little bit canned broth just to add more flavors, like this recipe. The success of this velvety soup relies on a rich broth made by simmering a full-flavored stewing hen in chicken broth. The result is known as double broth.

At month 21, DD’s desire to be more independent was not only displayed by her physical abilities to do things, but by being comfortable to be left alone.

As to her language development, she began to say few words, some in English and some in Chinese, depending on whichever was simpler to pronounce.
