Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'll do just an egg in broth when I'm sick, ribbony like that, but only two steps!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I like the thick texture, so I don't mind the cornstarch steps. Still super easy! Also not as fluorescent yellow as restaurant soup. Maybe I need to add food coloring!

You inspired me, Tep!

I did arrowroot instead of corn starch and poured the egg directly from the measuring cup I beat it in rather than drizzling of a fork, but I whisked the broth with a fork while I poured. Some ribbons, some bigger pieces. I might like the bigger pieces more?

I used TJ's Savory Turkey Broth in a pouch, because it was handy. The kosher-for-passover chicken-style powdered broth (I think the brand is Osem) I have also has no chicken in it. I cannot tell. In my memory, it's pretty yellow, but I'll have to make it again to confirm.

I wanna say that free-range chickens have yellower fat (from eating bugs and stuff? IDK) and thus make yellower soup, but I could be totally making that up.

All the Buffista food talk has made we want the buffista opinion on a food question: If you can't have both, cookis or cupcakes?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I was stunned at how easy it is.

I was the same way when I figured out to do Hot and Sour Soup. "You mean...the sour part is lemon and the hot part is Sriracha? That's it?"

Yum, egg drop is my fave.

I would probably like hot-and-sour too, except those words in English...kind of make me think of bile together. Someone needs to give me some and not leave me the not-ordering choice. Also, with "clotted cream"

I can't give you an answer without more information. What kind of cookies? What flavour cupcakes? What kind of frosting? Why can't I have both? Are you sure?

I know I have had delicious hot and sour soup and meh. I have no idea what the difference might be.

I didn't eat eggs fr a long time, so I don't have a lot of baggage or expectations with egg drop soup.
