Rainy Day Lunch with The Subdudes

This little pick me-up-meal is filled with fiber, high in trace minerals and B vitamins, plus it's fun to eat. If you're still living in the Dark Ages of calorie-counting, you'd be sitting on a little over 400, including the butter and olive oil.

You're looking at a cup of miso soup with lime and cilantro, 2 Wasa crackers with butter, 3 peppers from the garden (a flirty Gypsy, a sleepy Cubanelle, and  a take-charge Jalapeno), lightly steamed okra drizzled with olive oil, lacto-fermented spicy cordito saurkraut, and lacto-fermented tarragon onions.

For information on the fine art of lacto-fermentation, check out Sandorkraut's (AKA Sandor Ellix Katz) Wild Fermentation website here.

After lunch, I hit the hammock for some studying behind my eyelids. Blame it on the rain.

"The rain is working very hard,
It's got to water every little seed...
It's beautiful and ordinary,
Making life seem very good indeed.
The rain keeps falling down, but it don't bother me."
