I am not Greek (nor do I want a Big, Fat Anything) but I have played one on TV*, or rather, worked as a waitress in a Greek restaurant. It's the New Year and they say one of the keys of happiness is to be of service to others. So I'm releasing a time-tested recipe for a magical Greek soup called Avgolemono. It's either that or volunteer as a candy-striper at an old folks home and I just can't stand the smell of peed-thru pajamas, Pedia-Sur or the rotting-from-within decay.
So-o-o on that note, perhaps because of my hatred toward geriatrics I have been struck down by the flu (karma.) I've been dosing up on all the usual suspects: Cold-eze, AirBorne, Nyquil, echinacea and the aforementioned crack. But! I forgot about the magic elixer the Women-with-Mustaches swear by. So, I'll quit rambling and give you the recipe. It's easy and fun and I promise you your phlegm will dry up within a days time. Enjoy!
AVGOLEMONO
2 C. Chicken broth
1/3 C. long grain rice
-bring these to a boil and then cover & reduce heat. Cook on low for about 45 min. (about half way through cooking throw in a clove of garlic, chopped) or until the rice "splits." Turn off heat (duh).
2 eggs, whip or put in a blender until super fluffy. Add the juice of 1 lemon slowly.
Very, very slowly, add the warm chicken broth only (you don't want to make scrambled eggs) while blending. After you've added a lot of the broth (the rice is still in the pot) then pour all the egg/blender mixture back into the pot and bring all to a quick boil.
Serve right away. In about 48 hours you'll be ready to party all the time, party all the time 'cause my girl likes to party all the tiyyyme.
*Do be aware that I AM hopped up on a legal mixture of over-the-counter crystal meth so the references are linked rather loosely.
