Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I skipped omg a million posts. I totally forgot the GGs were last night and missed them, anyone have them and can burn for me, anyone have red carpet?!?
Um what else?
YAY Kathy and I'll catch on more later.
oh and I'm 40 and a few days now. not feeling any more grown up.
Happy belated 40th, msbelle! I ordered you some snow but they delivered it to the wrong address because I got it instead!
Seriously. I feel better when I eat more protein, but I don't always get it, because sometimes it's just easier to make pasta for dinner.
I'm finding quinoa just as easy to make as pasta and it's a complete protein.
The trick, it seems, is to rinse it before cooking. I never rinse any grains because I'm lazy like that, but rinsing the quinoa makes is taste a lot better. I cook it in a savory broth, which adds flavor.
10-15 minutes later, voila, nom!
Plus, it is good cold, unlike most pastas I've cooked. Also, any sauce I'd put on pasta works great on quinoa...just ask the puttanesca I made the other day...Oh, wait, you can't...it's in my belleh!
I love quinoa! I can't eat wheat or things with wheat in them. So i eat a lot of rice, quinoa and some non-wheat pasta.
You guys will be thrilled to know that as of Saturday night, I no longer think quinoa is pronounced "KWIN-OA".
MsBelle, happy 40th!! I have loved my year and a half of 40 so far. Hope you love it, too.
"KWIN-OA"
I can't even remember how I thought it was pronounced but it certainly wasn't keen-WAH. Who knew?
Note to self: It's keen-WAH.
I thought it was "quin-OH-nah".
I don't remember what I originally thought it was, but I definitely remember it being one of those words that I read, and that I heard pronounced, and I had NO IDEA they were actually the same word.
For the longest time, I thought the plant Kalanchoe was pronounce Ka-lan-show. Nope.
