What warmth it brings to me to find such a blog as yours, Lisa and Tracy! I am a consummate foodie, ever searching for good stories and insight into culture and family traditions –especially their foods.
I was on-line today, for another reason –looking for help, guidance and comfort, for something that I can’t solve on my own–and then I found you. I’ve had two miscarriages in the last 8 months, and now, fearing that I might have a third (all in the first trimester). I have Western doctors and a homeopath working on my case, but what I need now is something I lost 10 years ago — my mother. While she was Korean, not Chinese, she held a deep regard for the wisdom of Chinese medicine and food remedies. She would always know what soup one should consume to sooth whatever ailed us. Her knowledge of herbs and ingredients was amazing and while I tried very hard to learn all that I could from her before her passing, there just was not enough time. Now in my search to find a way to carry a child to full term, I am at a loss to know what I should and should not eat. I recall my mother saying there are soups, foods that help a child stay…I would very much love it if you would share whatever knowledge you would have in this area. For Koreans, seaweed soup is highly recommended after the birth of a child to help with detoxification and iron replacement –in our home we always had it for breakfast on our birthdays…as we ate, our mother would tell us of her thoughts and feelings that she had on the day we were born and how that first sip of hot soup, after the birth was so soothing for her…thank you for being there and doing what you do. Sincerely, AeRan

Comment on Korean Ginseng by hongkongguy

Wonderful site. I just wanted to point out that your pinyin for Korean Ginseng is incorrect. Probably an automated program that did the pinyin conversion for you, because as you are well aware, 參 is a word with multiple pronunciations. In this incarnation, its pinyin should be shen1 rather than can1.
