Do I get a cookie for not telling my co-worker who decided to enlighten me about how our bodies would heal themselves if we just stayed away from sugars to STFU?
I think I should get a cookie.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Eat it in front of the co-worker.
ION, I made egg drop soup from scratch! I feel like a god.

I was stunned at how easy it is. I will never buy egg drop soup again. (Unless I'm getting other Chinese food. In which case I probably will.)

I still haven't tried. I have heard that there is not insignificant danger of ending up with soup + scrambled egg, but that doesn't sound too bad, really. I would try right now (I want to feel like a god!) but I ate the last of my broth for lunch. Oh, maybe with bouillon?

I have heard that there is not insignificant danger of ending up with soup + scrambled egg
Here's what I did, and it avoided scrambled egg:
*4 cups of chicken broth (which I made from bouillon that's both vegan and GF [and yet tastes EXACTLY like chicken...I suspect dark magics])
*keep 3/4 to 1 cup of the broth in a bowl, and mix it with 2-3 Tbsp cornstarch (based on how thick you want the soup)
*put the other 3-ish cups of broth in a saucepan, add 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp powdered ginger; bring all that to a boil
*mix the cornstarch/broth mixture in the boiling broth
*beat 2-3 eggs (depending on how much egg you like) with a fork and then let the beaten egg drizzle off the tines of the fork into the broth
It's the drizzling that creates the ribbon effect. I did pour a little egg straight from the bowl into the broth because I wanted some big egg pieces, but it did basically turn out like restaurant soup, with long skinny egg ribbon pieces. Next time I make it I'm going to add garlic.
