Egg Drop Soup

Egg Drop Soup is quickly becoming my new comfort food and I figured out a way to make it in a way I find very tasty:

1 quart chicken broth
ginger, garlic powder, onion powder
2 tablespoons corn starch
3 eggs, gently beaten
salt, pepper, other seasonings as needed.

1. Bring to a boil chicken broth with ginger, garlic, and onion powder.

2. Mix a couple tablespoons of the broth with cornstarch. Add cornstarch. Simmer until it begins to thicken - about 5 minutes. I find I need to stir frequently while this is happening.

3. Reduce heat to gentle simmer. Beat 3 eggs very gently (I don't like keeping yolks and whites separate so I don't like to beat the eggs too much) and pour in a circular motion over the broth. Allow to set. Stir gently until heated through. Serve.

Completed Knitting Projects

This hat was made for a friend of mine. I actually ended up making this hat twice as I needed a practice run with the pattern. I was pleased by the results of the second and want to make one for myself.



These turned out unbelievably soft if not necessarily the prettiest socks I have ever made.

Currently on the needles:

I only have the toe left of the second Devils Snare Sock. I should hopefully finish that this weekend in between packing.

My lace scarf is progressing very slowly. I am actually a little proud of it so far and I am worried I might mess it up. It requires my concentration so I can't knit on it while watching TV with most of my projects so it may be on the needles for a long time.

I also have a skein of fingering weight wool in a color way I totally love. However, it is really unpleasant to knit with. I was going to make socks but I don't think I can bare to work with it that much so I think I am going to make some fingerless gloves instead. It also doesn't have enough give to be as successful as socks as I think it would need to be.
