A Word About Miso

[amazon_syren]

Okay.

So today has involved:
Three cups of coffee with lots of milk
One glass of ginger ale
One (much, much, much smaller) glass of sherry
Two pieces of toast with butter and strawberry jam

Two hours of walking (ow, my joints, but it was a really gorgeous day AND now I have new library books)

And I'm not feeling particularly hungry. BUT I know I'm gonna feel that way in, like, 45 minutes.
So I'm making miso soup.

I know I'm pretty late to get on this particular bus, but WOW is that stuff handy. A little bit of seaweed and 1 tbsp miso paste per cup of water, a spritz of lime juice and a couple drops of sesame oil, and you've got Technically A Meal that is warm and comforting and just-just-just filling enough. And I'm into it.

Also, bonus points: It's vegan, which is handy for someone like me who typically has meat stock on hand but not veggie. AND (allegedly) it's a probiotic. IE something good to shove at people who are seriously not into kombucha or sour kraut or yoghurt (but might be willing to eat kim chi if it came from a store) and who are having long-term tummy issues.

So.

I <3 Miso.


Thank you, that is all.
