Hi Natty! How are you today, my precious darling? I hope you are keeping yourself safe and healthy. You are so very precious to me.
Someone from China sent me the video for egg drop soup above. I thought I would try to make it for lunch tomorrow, so I went out this evening to buy the ingredients. At first I thought that the dried mushrooms was what infused the basic flavor. So I headed out to the Chinese grocery store, and found them. 70 bucks a kilo! Yikes! I know what mushrooms taste like, so I decided to use local mushrooms. It's the dry season and a bad time for mushrooms, but I did find some black mushrooms. Then I looked at the video again and saw that she washed the mushrooms twice, meaning that the mushrooms are tasteless in the soup. That means I can use any flavor broth I want, and I probably don't need any mushrooms in there at all. Sigh. I'll go ahead and make the soup mushroom flavored. I don't have any coriander either. It was too late in the day, and the fresh coriander was sold out. I don't want to go out tomorrow morning, so maybe I'll use mint or chives. I have those growing in my yard.
