This weekend, my sister, who is an actress, was over at my place making funny talk about her favorite vegan bakeries and restaurants, and yoga, and products that make her poo like blocks of Jell-O and I tuned in when I hear her mention Quinoa. I've heard of quinoa before (pronounced Keen-WAAAA) but have never had it. I don't know if it was a combination of me being semi drunk or just my natural sense of adventure but once I heard my sis going on about the greatness of quinoa, I ordered my wife to buy some at once (that's not how it happened but that's how I remember it).
Flash forward to last night when I got home and my wife had purchased this sack of quinoa (above) and was preparing it so we could have it for dinner. To my surprise, quinoa is fan-f@cking-tastic! This stuff is high in protein and would be something you'd have instead of a starch like rice or potato, etc. I'm sure there are other uses for it than just a side dish but I'm not ready to go full hipster yet. According to the package, quinoa comes from Bolivia, and let me tell you, other than the burrito, and the soccer fans below, quinoa has to be the greatest invention Bolivia has given our planet!
Open up your trap and put some quinoa in it todaaaaaay!
