<snip recipe>

hee! and here I though I was the only one! I make a similar soup that I
call "avgolemono", but I have been trying to economize lately, and so

what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear
and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There
is another theory which states that this has already happened."
