I wonder if he likes quinoa too? Great cooking tip about letting it sit on the stove, by the way.

I was wondering what kind of variation I should try so this was good timing. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, here are the top reasons I like quinoa:<BR/>1) it is probably the most nutritious grain<BR/>2) it is easy to prepare (I always just boil water, add 1 part quinoa to 2 parts boiling water, then turn off the stove and let it sit. Not only does it cook perfectly that way, but I'm in no danger of burning it if I forget about it)<BR/>3) it tastes good<BR/>4) its not wheat (it seems that I eat a lot of bread and pasta in the summer so it is good to have a change); it is also a good substitute for couscous, which I am not too keen on. <BR/>5) The sound of the word "quinoa" reminds me of actor "Joaquin" Phoenix, because it sounds like his name reversed. And Joaquin happens to be a vegetarian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947277095635982390.post-81190439314249501522008-07-07T22:29:00.000-04:002008-07-07T22:29:00.000-04:00Mmmmm - sounds delicious!
