When my sister and I are both "home" to visit my parents, my mom pulls out all the stops and makes our favorite foods, but also makes all kinds of weird soups/broths that remove the "hot air" and other toxins in our body since she knows that we are not getting the special nutrients in our Americanized diet. Sometimes it's this milky, gelatinous bird's nest soup, sometimes it's an earthy brown soup made from rare mushrooms, and sometimes it's the infamous black chicken with goji berries... I know she has good intentions, and I know these are probably not cheap, so I enjoy them and pretend that they are probably doing good things to my body.
One time, my mom handed my sister, Paul, and me each a bowl of soup and said "Drink this. It's good for women."
My sister and I were cracking up, waiting for Paul to sprout boobs or something.
