My latest go-to for nursing a sour stomach is a hot bowl of rice and some miso soup. I cracked an egg over the rice, and some toasted nori and soy sauce for added flavor. It also doubles as a quick and easy breakfast, so I’ve been making sure to make some extra rice just in case. It seems like my stomach gets irritated every other day. We’ve been having more processed food lately, mostly due to time constraints and fatigue from working at a corporate hell hole.
That’s a story for a whole other post, preferably when I find another job.
I was craving a bowl of Miso Soup today. Something nice to slurp on after another long day of throwing cardboard boxes and lifting televisions and other shit. I made a basic Miso Soup with the addition of some baby bella mushrooms and a shredded carrot with some ginger. I poured it over some soba noodles, it was quite earthy. I also prepared some more overnight oats for tomorrow, doing matcha strawberry yogurt, blueberries and coconut milk.
For the first time I finally made a tamago I could be proud of. I made a chirashi sushi bowl with sushi rice, cucumber, smoked salmon and a tamago omelette made in an authentic tamago pan to get the dimensions just right. I also had some pickled ginger that I haven’t torn into yet, and finally got to break it in. Then there is also a garden salad with sesame dressing, and some greek strawberry honey yogurt with mandarin oranges. For me in the morning this is quite a feast, but felt really good for most of the day.
Spicy
Then later on in the day I took the leftover tofu from yesterday, as well as the leftover scallions, sliced a bell pepper and made a noodle curry. It was really spicy, but not too sweet. I also had a nice green chai a bit ago, something sweet sounded nice after browsing Amazon for teas. My flowering teapot is already giving up the ghost after only being unboxed for a few months… so I purchased a more durable one with a better handle. While I was there I also decided to purchase a few teas. There aren’t any good blueberry teas locally, and I also wanted to see if I could hunt down a maple syrup tea, and Holy Twatwaffles Batman! I found a really good candidate. That just sounded too good to pass up, and it’s a Pu Erh! Those are great to have in the morning for a high energy tea. I also found the flavors Caramel Nougat and Apricot Amaretto to be quite intriguing… then of course there’s the original tea that I thought of. I haven’t tried this one before, but it sounded like a good blend to try.
I have a short day of work tomorrow; I’m thinking when I get home of making a scramble of eggs with some tomatoes and mushrooms… maybe some homemade Potatoes O’Overlord with a cream sauce… something hearty. Then perhaps a nap and some SFM work, did nothing but cook and play games today. Do something hearty and somewhat serious tomorrow.
I promised myself that when I woke up today I would prepare Miso Soup for breakfast. I did not disappoint myself, it was very good. Around lunch time I threw in some soba noodles. There are no more leftovers… I’ll have to make more.
Other than that I pretty much kicked back. I was thinking of tidying up a bit but my body kinda told me no. Ended up going into the cinema and watching goofy stuff, then kinda-sorta babysitting some kids that appeared. I managed to ban one of them. Then I played a small bit of Skyrim because I realized I went almost an entire day without wielding a sword… That is a problem that needed to be corrected.
Oh, I also have a new scarf. You can see me rocking it with my purple white hair.
So many people think the silver hair is deliberate, I was going to fix it… but with all the positive feedback I figured I’d keep it. Plus this is going to sound strange, but I’ve started to like it. Even though people at work see my Skyrim character and assume that it’s literally me recreated in the game… Lovely, I have a doppelganger… And it isn’t Bacon Lara.
