I decided to try and make avgolemono soup on my own today. My mother had come over last month to walk me through it. It's not that hard but it does require some work. I remember when my mother started making it and it was never as good as my grandmother's and we would tell her that. She asked!!! It wasn't like we were trying to make fun. She'd be like "I watch her make it - I don't know what she does differently!!" I would tell her that she must have turned her back and my grandmother would throw some magic yiayia dust in it. Anyway, now she (mom) makes it really really well. Her recipe calls for, well, a vat, because she would be cooking for the family and we all inhale it and want it for leftovers. She halved her recipe and that's what I used. I thought I did something wrong but I had it for dinner and it actually came out much better than I thought when I was making it.Now I have dinner for tomorrow and probably a few other nights, and lunch if I so choose.
I'm having a glass of wine right now. I think I'll have some Girl Scout cookies to go with it.
