We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I don't think there's a bright line between soup and stew. But a lot of not very stew-like soups are inexplicably made with thickeners.

I need to come up with something to make for dinner. Maybe scrambled eggs?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Commercial ones, maybe. I've never started a cream soup from scratch with a roux, though.

Maybe scrambled eggs?

Dinner omelet!

I don't really have anything to fill an omelet. Out of cheese. No mushrooms to hand. No cooked veggies or meat of any kind lying around.

I had a similar dinner--tortilla with egg, refrained beans, salsa, and avocado.

Because books.

I have a sudden craving for egg drop soup. Can you make that, -t? For me, anyway?

I had an appointment tonight at six, and I ate at four. Now I am ravenous. But before I noticed that, I noticed a chip in my manicure, so I fixed it and just re-coated all the nails for good measure. I wish I had noticed the hungry thing first. Well, fast-drying top coat, anyway, so I shouldn't have to wait too long. Still. Poor planning. Or, excellent lack of planning.

I don't have tortillas or bread! I do have flour. Hm.

I could try to make you egg drop soup, Amy. I never have before because it's not something I like, but for you, I would make the effort.The broth would be made from bouillon unless you're willing to wait several hours. Of course, it'll take you a while to get here, so maybe that'll work out!
