I always knew the importance of fiber rich foods when considering ways to improve my digestion, but I truly underestimated fermented foods. Recently I started eating culture rich yogurt and kimchi, and found I have felt noticeably better all due to improved digestion. Not to say I have more of a *pep* in my step, but I’ll admit there’s some truth to it.

I drive 30-40 minutes just to buy my favorite kimchi. Just ate some greek yogurt. Just polished off a container of kimchi. It’s all serious to me.

I start most days with some puer (fermented tea) and my diet comprises a hell of a lot of krauts, pickles and vegan kimchi--- a little pile of kimchi or kraut is the final touch on almost every meal I make and pickles and olives are a perfect snack for any hour of the day. The most beautiful flavor of all time is Achaar, the Indian pickle dish composed of mango, bottle gourd, lemon, lime, gooseberry and carrot among other things; this as close as the culinary gets to the complex mystery of music.
Shopping Rec's:
Kimchi: Choi's all the way--- RIP Matthew Choi, the mastermind behind the deepest vegan kimchi.
Pickles: Forever Chicago's finest Claussen <3 <3 <3 (though not technically fermented)--- as for the real-deal fermented stuff, I'm not sure I've ever had a salt-brine pickle I didn't appreciate; direct acidic deliciousness.
Kraut: Ashland, Oregon's Pickled Planet Veda Kraut and Beet Kraut are just totally simplistically profound. Blue Bus's masterpiece take on the Salvadoran Curtido... bless it.
Kombucha: constant oscillation of GT's Guava Goddess and Health-Ade Cayenne Cleanse
Olives: Trader Joe's garlic stuffed
Achaar: check out your favorite local Indian spot's pickle dish and thank me or hate me later.

i started making my own kimchi because my spice tolerance is not very high but i really like kimchi, so i make it on my own to adjust to my taste. i have done other fermented/preserved food as well (pickles, radishes, bean sprouts, carrots, marinated eggs). as someone who likes to cook but also gets regular bouts of laziness, these prepared foods have been a lifesaver and moneysaver. i usually pair it with rice, which if you have a rice cooker isn't really much of a bother to do, or i simply snack on them. and since they are fermented or preserved most of these items are even better the longer they sit, so i can make a big batch on my energetic days and not worry about them going bad so soon.
pictured here: my new batch of kimchi, will probably wait a few days or a week before i start eating, but good to know i have something for the coming weeks

If you like something heavily woody, hinoki by CDG is beautiful and is very much just a solid wood scent. Floriental is a sweeter woody scent if you’re open to sweet. Dior poisonous is warm and sweet sort of in a rootbeer gourmand way, but has rosewood, musk, and sandalwood. Smell that one first if you can just in case. Fleur De Peau and La Papier by Diptyque as well as Studied by Liis are all very similar to Glossier You if you like those paper-y skin like scents. I’d say Liis is a more intense twin of You but they’re all similar. I haven’t smelled Piano Santal by L’Orchestre Parfum but I’d look into the notes. They may intrigue you. I plan on sampling soon. If you ever want a beautifully warm and cozy gourmand, check out Winter of 99 by Kerosene. Smells like nutmeg and has a bit of wood and vanilla. Cozy and warm but imo, not nauseatingly sweet like many gourmands.

Using your lungs for good and bad. Cancelling out the smoke with cardio. The bliss of a cigarette while walking through a big city in the fairly cold weather is an experience I can only describe as joyous and freeing.
