Chicken essence in bird flu times?

I went to market today to stuff my fridge for the next few days and can't resist buying that kampong chicken to make essence, my favorite soup to call a day.
I know, why buy chicken during the bird flu scare right now, huh? The advice given is chicken is safe to be eaten as long as it's cooked thoroughly. A friend wondered aloud, if it's safe, why kill all the chickens when bird flu is detected in an area? Why don't we just eat them instead, just make sure they are cooked well done. I can't think how to respond to her.

Well, I tried to avoid chicken, but chicken is my favorite meat. What else to cook other than chicken? Fish and pork all week? Sigh.. that will make the already boring days even more boring. I figured nevertheless, one chicken a week won't harm us. I am not a lucky person to strike the jackpot or won any lucky draws before, why should I be this time, huh? Sounds logic enough to me... aiyah.. don't care liao....

Anyway, I am about to stress on this chicken essence I made, homemade, double boiled. The double boiler is my favorite utensil in the kitchen. I got this information about double boiled method..

"Double boiler method is a Chinese cooking technique to prepare delicate food by separating the food from direct heat with a layer of water and cooked for several hours over the slow and constant heat.

This traditional way ensures the goodness of the food is preserved as there is no loss of liquid or moisture (its eseences) from the food being cooked, thus bring good nutritional value when consumed.

Double boiled food is believed to improve blood circulation, aids digestion, increase appetite, reduce fatigue, speeds up recovery after illnesses and strengthens your health."

It sounds very convincing to me. I even wrote an ad to start a business on this soup business, believing working people wouldn't have the spare time to make all these simple, delicious and nutritious luxuries in life. I set a specific soup a day, requesting customers to call or email for order 24 hours before, and deliver the soup in a vacuum flask to his/her doorsteps. Well, so far, I didn't get any order yet, as the ad just stayed in my pc's hard disk ever since. I should kick myself in the butts for being damn lazy to make another move on this "ingenious" idea of mine.

What the heck! I am going to pamper myself now. The soup's getting cold.
