Turkey soup with carrot, onion, celery and mushrooms. I lightly sauteed
snow pea and grated ginger in oil, then ladled the soup into that pan,
and did the egg drop thing. The snow peas were for my wife. C'mon, do
the egg drop thing.

Oh heck yes!

A little white pepper is always good in an egg drop soup too.

My grinder has both Tellicherry black and Saranok white, so that's what
it got, and plenty of it. I love egg noodles, but I'm going hardcore
low carb until I can get some more fat off.

What? You only have one grinder? I am sure you
said once that you had one just for Szechaun Red.

My 'black' grinder has Tellicherry, Kamput, Long, Cubeb,
and Pink Pepper, as well as green and white, but I'm not
sure of the green or white cultivars.

My other grinder has too many ingredients to list here.

Do you have a grinder loaded with Popeye peppercorns?

Could come in handy if the Master ever visits.

I did, some years ago, buy some of that, and I might have (probably did)
briefly put it into an old pepper grinder, but I don't keep anything in
my grinders but the B&W mix and salt. The salt is because I like it
finely ground.

"Just salt and pepper is fine. Hey, I've got a question. I understand
the pepper mill, because it keeps the pepper fresher not having it
pre-ground, but why the salt mill? Salt doesn't get stale or anything."
.
"I like salt ground more finely than regular table salt, not gritty. Try
it."
.
"It's like the salt in the little packets at McDonalds."

Actually, I agree with you on that point; I do not like the
gritty texture of 'table' salt; it's too much like sand.

However, I avoid sodium in any form, for the usual reasons.

There are foods that make salt very enticing though. As you
have identified, MdD fries have childhood-seated memories.

And kudos on your weight loss. Whatever works for you, do it.

My hypertension is well controlled, and not particularly salt sensitive,
which is lucky because I am salt crazy. I've still got a bit of the
turkey soup left. I've been poaching an egg for each bowl. First, I
separate a jumbo egg, and use the white in the egg drop fashion, then
after about a minute of the heat turned off, I slide in the intact yolk,
and give it another minute before gently putting it into a bowl. The
first half of the soup has only egg white, then when the bowl is half
empty and cooled a bit, I chop up the creamy yolk with the spoon, and
the second half has lovely, silky, half set portions of yolk. I've never
seen this technique for poached egg in soup, but it works well.

I have a container of "popcorn salt" from the discount brand of spices
at the local grocer. It's nice on some things, because it's such a fine
texture.

Right idea, wrong season - but good on you for making the effort.

I love a good egg drop soup.
