you're all freaks but with lovely poo probly

And my poo is definitely not lovely ...

All this is making me tempted to buy quinoa.

But must make industrial-sized batch of refried beans, and then own muesli first. Can't have too many unfinished cookery projects cluttering up the kitchen ...

mutter mutter....

Do I get double points for forcing ds to eat it as well?

Only if you kept notes on his "outgoings"...

lol beansprout

I am not in the closet, I am OUT AND PROUD!

we like quinoa - have it instead of rice with curry/chilli...yum !

I'm an occassional quinoa user. I've tried several recipes from Gillan Mckeith's cookbook. Yummy. Has anyone tried the sea vegatables she recommends?

i do ..why is it freaky??

I've been munching quinoa for years, since I was introduced to it by a vegetarian back in Denver.

Mmmmmm. Quinoa in the morning for brekkie. It's the way to go.

Tried it, but it felt like eating ground up frog spawn. I think it must be all in the preparation!

how do you cook that expat???

I had some for the first time the other day beety and felt really sick afterwards because.........I didn't wash it beforehand, so there was a yukky soapy tasting residue on it. Had my leg pulled gently re eating quinoa so started this thread.

Will definitely wash it next time!

Good tip Puff - when you're washing it, just angle the saucepan a bit so the quinoa starts to move towards the edge.........and TIP THE HORRIBLE MUCK DOWN THE PLUGHOLE!!!!

Oh crikey, is the yukky stuff really obvious when you wash it then?

no, I meant the quinoa itself.....

BREAKFAST RECIPE PLEASE

rofl meanoldm

I did like the texture of it - sort of a cross between rice and lentils

...and shredded candle wax

lolololol

This is nice:

Apple Quinoa Breakfast

75g quinoa
200ml orange juice
50g sultanas
10ml honey
1 apple
5ml ground cinnamon

Rinse the quinoa in plenty of cold water and drain well.

Toast the drained quinoa for a few minutes in a non-stick saucepan. Then add the orange juice, sultanas, and cinnamon. Bring to the boil and then simmer gently until the seed germ of the quinoa starts to separate (about 20 minutes). Meanwhile wash and finely chop the apple.

Add the apple to the cooked quinoa and turn out into a bowl.

OOO, THAT SOUND NICE. i SHALLHAVE THAT TOMORROW
