Sangria & Confinement

We were at Busybee's place on Saturday...partly to pay her a visit after her delivery and also to have a get together since Mag is back from her infamous six months holiday adventure. We last met in June last year at the same house same place before Mag left for her tour and that was when Busybee announced her pregnancy. Remember the 'fight' we had with the security guard at midnight?? Read here for details...yupe that was six months back..time really flies.



This time is slightly different cos..it's suppose to be a subtle affair (in my opinion) cos...it had just been 2 weeks post delivery. Baby and mommy are supposedly still weak and should be in 'confinement'.



A traditionally strict confinement sounds like this:

You cannot bathe or wash your hair for an entire month. Forget about shopping, visiting friends or even going for a stroll in the neighborhood. Practically the only food to touch your lips must be cooked in sesame oil and ginger, and you can't even have a glass of water....MORE


Read on..and you judge by yourself Busybee's version of confinement :)

Well..it was a good quiet afternoon for all of us. I think we were there for at least 4 hours! Mag invaded the kitchen to whip out her cool version of sangria.

We also had our share busybee's confinement food - vegetarian pig's trotter in vinegar.




Thanks Busybee for this pic. I actually s.o.s her to take a pic of this for me cos I was so stoned (lack of coffee but a little under influenced of alcohol) that day that I forgot to take any other pics.


We also had our pizza. Big apple donuts. Some chinese new year cookies.

Boy.. was it hard...to stay subtle..especially after sips of delicious sangria. It was bright daylight and we were sipping red wine and sangria...Busybee was also happily sipping away..wine is good for health according to her...her version of DOM...occassionally baby megan joins us for her milk sessions.....no wonder baby megan is always sleeping :D (FYI..she's breastfeeding!)

and this time..we didn't have any fight with the security.

Thanks Busybee for the hospitality..although you were having a headache. Chill!
