egg_drop_soup
factory reject I tried to make egg drop soup today. My advice to all those aspiring chefs out there? Dont. I thought, "Gee! How hard could it be?" I found out. So I boiled my water. And I started drizzeling in my egg white. I was expecting it to cook nicely into those little ribbons of egg you get at chinese restaurants. What I got were demonic egg puffs set on destroying the world. As soon as they hit that water it was like they developed a mind of their own. Inflated with hot air and hot egos, they began to cause the water to boil over. Luckly I caught it in time. I added my boulian cubes in hope the ground up chicken marrow might calm my eggy captors. But all it did was anger them. Eventually I developed the guts to take them off the burner. I could almost hear them cursing.. So now ther eis a bowl of worl domination sitting on the table waiting for me. I cant wait. 050815
