caffeine-fuelled boozy shouty vipers

FrannyandZooey · 20/05/2007 18:47

speak for yourself

this shouty viper eschews caffeine

"shouty fishwives drinking camomile tea" hasn't the same ring really has it?

MrsBadger · 20/05/2007 18:56

FrannyandZooey · 20/05/2007 20:27

Otter it is a grain a bit like couscous. Very tasty and full of good stuff including protein

OtterInnit · 20/05/2007 20:45

hmmm

HC said to me it was ridiculous price in supermarket, as well

I get mine from here or from Suma wholesalers

maybe look in local health food shop?

FrannyandZooey · 20/05/2007 21:02

Ooh hello LL

erm veggie is ethical

caffeine is health (I get jittery if I have it)

booze is because alcohol problems

interesting mix eh? Bet you are wishing you hadn't turned me down now....

quinoa is nice just boiled as you would rice, cook it until the little tails pop out and then eat it with a curry / whatever. I think it tastes good with a dollop of soy sauce. Oh and rinse well first or it can taste bitter

NappiesGalore · 20/05/2007 21:04

i dont really get whats not to get re quinoa tbh.
its a grain. yoou cook it like rice then treat it like such. or like cous cous or pasta. you wouldnt expect any of those things on their own to be particularlyinteresting would you??

FrannyandZooey · 20/05/2007 21:05

QUITE RIGHT Nappies

OtterInnit · 20/05/2007 21:07

caffiene is soooo easy to get jittery on it
i range from needing an espresso before my coffee to jittery on sniffing it
vegetarianism - take a look at a lovely freesian!
booze - i like it but not what i does to folk

FrannyandZooey · 20/05/2007 21:09

LOL at cod's thread turning into quinoa / teetotal enclave

foxinsocks · 20/05/2007 21:10

don't ask Franny what will happen to your loo if you eat quinoa

NappiesGalore · 20/05/2007 21:11

NappiesGalore · 20/05/2007 21:12
