apples / miso soup

[astroglide]

the organic fujis at whole foods were looking pretty rugged tonight, so i picked up jonagolds and a couple pinovas instead. jonagolds have been discussed here already, they're very good. pinovas are new to me. bright "sweet and slightly tart" flavor. when you crack into one it's sweet, but it has almost a slight pink lemonade kind of finish to it. not a staple apple, but i really enjoy having one every now and then (eating one right now). recommended.

i tried some "just add water" miso soup packet and it is possibly the most rancid thing i've ever had in my life. the packets were green and white i think. i haven't opened the white one. it's esward & sons "miso-cup", avoid it at all [censored] costs. i picked up a fantastic brand miso with tofu big soup noodle bowl, haven't tried it yet but i don't really want something with noodles/filling, just a taste of miso.

i just want your typical 'free with lunch' sushi joint kind of miso soup. i've got a hot water dispenser and i would love to be able to use it for this sort of thing. can anybody suggest a 'just add water' miso soup thing? i wouldn't mind looking at an asian grocer if there's some really good stuff there. any other light food i could pick up at one if i'm going to make that trip for the first time?
