43 + 55, meditating on peking duck carcass soup

i sit down wide awake for meditation but at the same time i can feel the body craving for rest. i am right because i fall asleep after 43 minutes. and in those 43 minutes i can't shake off the intoxicating aroma of the peking duck carcass soup i made yesterday. it literally shot hubby out of a kind of a down mode. in his words, excellent, incredible, forget your novel, you can sell this. well, how can it be not fantastic with 2 high quality set of bones that have lots of meat on them and expertly seasoned, loads of aromatic vegetable, a head of garlic, and lemon juice? but, wait a sec, i did throw in some special ingredients: ginger and dong quai, enough to infuse fragrance but not the amount necessary for medicinal purpose. anyway, it is really good. i even amaze myself. a truly yummi-yum-yum meditation. o, and don't forget that the carcasses are free and there are enough for 2 meals for both of us and some more to go into the freezer. such abundance. hubby says, great soup, great wify:)
