Remove the broth from the stove and carefully pour the beaten egg into the broth, continuously stirring as you incorporate the egg. Add the chipotle powder to the egg and mix well. While the broth is cooking, place the bread in the bottom of your soup bowl. Taste the broth, add salt if needed and remove the bay leaves. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Place the chopped garlic and bay leaves into a pan and cover with the water. Stale bread, torn off into chunks (about 1/3 cup) This makes enough for 2 good-sized bowlfuls. You’ll emerge a few hours later refreshed and ready to face your inbox. It’s very easy to make and comforting like a hot water bottle or a favorite blanket (note to self: get both of these ready too before the movie starts). Plus you should know better than to have friends/loved ones/partners who don’t like garlic. Plus all that tummy rumbling upsets Greta. You can’t be relaxed on an empty stomach. Before the chill phase you’ll need sustenance. It helps if you have a dog to join you (consider borrowing a friend’s if you don’t) and chill.īut hold on. Desperate times require desperate measures. If folks continue to pester you, allude to some very nasty illness (a tapeworm always makes people run in the other direction) and feign doctor-ordered bed rest. Get out the box set of Breaking Bad – or better yet watch Grand Hotel on Netflix. Hide you cell phone where you can’t see it. So do a Greta and tell everyone politely but firmly that you want to be alone. Why does everybody, everywhere want something from you yesterday? It’s moments when you want the world to back off and give you a bit of space, for crying out loud. And Greta never had to deal with email, texts or twitter. Like Marlene, we all need a little space sometimes.
Haven’t you ever felt like Greta Garbo in Grand Hotel (minus the ballet shoes and tutu) and wanted to utter in your best German accent, “I vant to be alone!” Of course you have.
