A Recipe for
Chinese Egg Drop Soup
There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

We plan, we toil, we suffer - in the hope of what? A camel-load of idol's eyes? The title deeds of Radio City? The empire of Asia? A trip to the moon? No, no, no, no. Simply to wake just in time to smell coffee and bacon and eggs. |

Heat the broth in a saucepan until it boils vigorously. Reduce the
heat to a slow simmer (bubbles form and collapse BELOW the surface of
the liquid). Break the egg into a cup and beat very lightly (just
enough to combine yolk and white). Hold the cup in one hand, about 5
inches above the soup, while gently swirling the fork in WIDE circles
in the soup with the other. Slowly pour a thin stream of egg into the
soup, catching the egg with the fork (in the soup) and drawing it
into wide circles in the soup. Interrupt the pouring several times so
as to form several long, filmy threads. Season to taste. Add a
generous squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately. Posted By
