Soup of Satisfaction

After bemoaning her plight as a thwarted cook yesterday, Herself had three unexpected pleasures arise. First, she was able to foist a loaf of fresh cranberry bread upon a friend. Second, she discovered an upcoming opportunity to make muffins in celebration of a visit from an old tae kwon do comrade. And third, her Beloved arrived home early enough for Herself to make him dinner. At his request for light fare, she prepared egg-drop soup with noodles. Unusually, she worked freehand - without a recipe. Since Herself is a scientist at heart, she typically views cooking as a technical pastime rather than as an art. Every now and then, though, she throws caution to the wind and experiments. There are no leftovers, so I believe the soup was a success.
