I like miso. I like the flavors it adds to foods. Itโs less salty than soy sauce but can add a similar umami to foods.
I decided to find out if itโs healthy, just okay, or not healthy.
I discovered that according to BBC Good Food itโs good: โMisoย is rich in essential minerals and aย goodย source of various B vitamins, vitamins E, K and folic acid. As a fermented food,ย misoย provides the gut withย beneficialย bacteria that help us to stayย healthy, vibrant and happy;ย goodย gut health is known to be linked to our overall mental and physical wellness.โ
According to Healthline itโs okay: โMisoย consumption is generally safe for most people. However, it does contain a large amount of salt. Thus, it may not be a good choice for individuals who need to limit their salt intake due to a medical condition. In addition,ย misoย is relatively high in vitamin K1, which can act as a blood thinner.โ
I didnโt find anyone that said itโs not healthy โ I probably could have if I had searched longer, but I didnโt see the point.
I am happy to continue adding miso when I want โ especially after stocking up at Eurasie.

Is anyone else watching CuriosityStream?
Everyone else?
Am I the last to find out about it?
I loved TLC when we lived in the U.S. The Learning Channel. I have no idea if it still exists but it was my favorite thing to watch, back in pre-Netflix days.
I saw lots of ads on Facebook for CuriosityStream over the holidays.
I never click on Facebook ads.
Until this one.
It looked slightly interesting, then they offered an annual subscription for $12.00. Thatโs a dollar a month. Itโs winter. I clicked.
The first good thing about it is that itโs available here in France without a VPN. Which means that itโs likely available almost everywhere.
The second good thing about it is that it has lots of really interesting stuff. Itโs all โdocumentariesโ โ meaning that itโs all educational, but we love that. There are themed series, as well as longer singles. If the presenter is good / interesting / entertaining we watch, regardless (almost) of topic. So far there has only been one series that we stopped watching after 10 minutes โ the presenter had a near perfect monotone.
I just thought I would suggest a bit of interesting viewing for all of you who, like me, are not watching sports at the moment. (Football in the U.S., rugby in Europe).
I like this recipe! But I thought you were out of squash ๐
You got a good deal on CS. Itโs $20 a year here though it started out at a lot more if I recall, but I think maybe they didnโt get the viewership they needed.
Yes, we still have TLC. True Stories of the ER is one of my favorites, but I worked in the ER so some of those stories are mild compared to what I saw. Some of them are worse. I find it all fascinating. There are a few other shows on TLC that I like as well. We signed up for DiscoveryPlus though and they have TLC along with every station Discovery owns for $6 a month. Weโre happy.
I missed posting this one lol.
The Discovery Channel! Iโd forgotten that one,,,,, We donโt have access to anything like that so the CS was a treat. I donโt know if weโll renew โ I donโt know how often the add new stuff, but weโre enjoying it now. There are a lot of really short bits which is kind of fun. I donโt think I could watch your ER showโฆ. Iโm one of those that closes eyes during that sort of thing lol
Must look out for curiosity streamโฆ.not here yet in Aus!!!
There is a lot of stuff on itโฆ. I loved the one on Bubbles lol
