ooh . . . sven, that sounds good . . . thanks so much for offering up the recipe! yesterday, I was too far down to do much . . . but I am putting this in the file.
and so sorry I missed class, Sister D. I was just too tired. Good news is, I think yesterday may have been the worst of it.
The shape of the cup is all wonky, but then again, so is my head. Can't wait to get back to 100%.
My fave sickie recipe: egg drop soup!
ReplyDeletesimmer:
box of Imagine brand "no-chicken broth"
1 tsp powdered ginger
2 cloves garlic
mix separately
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
pour them in
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper (I like white pepper)
whisk 2 eggs with
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
pour the eggs in slowly while the broth is simmering
if you've got 'em, throw in some sliced up green onions and/or celery
(evolved from the 1997 Joy of Cooking)
Get better soon! ...Or keep pretending you're sick, as an excuse to have really good food and schnuggles with the sweetie. --Either way!
ooo, yes! this is fantastic soup. sven sometimes adds extra bonus ginger, but that's a bit strong for me.
ReplyDeleteOops -- 2 teaspoons of vegie oil.
ReplyDeleteNaturally, immediately after writing this out I found myself in the mood to have some myself...
Which is where I noticed my mistake. :)
This poor little mug just looks like he needs to lie down.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling all well again by tomorrow. Can't wait to meet you!

ReplyDeleteand so sorry I missed class, Sister D. I was just too tired. Good news is, I think yesterday may have been the worst of it.
I'm laughing at myself... I just can't seem to get this right.
ReplyDeleteI realized that when I make the soup, I actually ignore the recipe and use 2 tablespoons of oil instead of 2 teaspoons.
Just goes to show that the measurement doesn't really matter that much to begin with. :)
@sven: 2 tablespoons instead of 2 teaspoons? no wonder that soup is so good. ;) but seriously, i only see 1 teaspoon of oil in the recipe.
ReplyDeleteHey gl. -- it has to be at least twice that because I doubled the number of eggs.
ReplyDeleteThe point of the oil (I believe) is to emulsify the eggs.
gl and sven: I tend to play it pretty loose with things like oil in recipes - I forget sometimes that they have chemical purposes outside of baking!
