Chao Tar Tonic

Tonight will be the 2nd time in the month for me to have the tonic. Yes, I had been following this routine. Hopefully, I’ll remember to make it a point since it’s for my own good.
We went back home after we had bought what we wanted. Of cos, the first thing was to switch on the TV to watch her newly acquired Barney VCD while I went to have my shower. After dinner, I put all these, namely 6 slices of 当归, 6 南枣, a handful of 枸屺子 and of cos an egg into my cup while the pot water was set to boil at the stove. After I had poured some boiling water into the cup and then lowered the cup into the pot for double boil for an hour but MIL was saying that there were too much water in the pot and had scooped some out.
We had been constantly checking the water level and the fire. But when the time was up, we found that there was no water left and the pot was actually badly burnt! Oh my goodness, I did not even dare to lift up the lid of the cup to check the things inside. I was so afraid that it might just explode. Keke.. MIL took over and went to pour all the things out into the bowl while I went to settle Sherry for bedtime.
The strange thing is that there wasn’t a slightest taste of chao tar in the soup. Keke. It still taste as yummy… hee… quickly finish up all the soup & the egg and went back to Sherry…
