I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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?

CUPCAKES. ALL YOUR CUPCAKES BELONG TO ME.

"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.

I'm going to have to investigate miso soup. I love miso soup. But I'm going to have chicken kourma and naan for lunch out tomorrow.

To think, when I moved out of the foothills of the Appalachians, foreign food was LaChoy chow mein. And maybe Italian.

Miso soup is the easiest thing in the world. Miso paste, boiling water, other seasonings or ingredients like seaweed or scallions or tofu dependent on mood and energy.
