Well, isn't that special?

cooking with quinoa
I've only used quinoa a couple of times as a substitute for rice. The instructions said to rinse the quinoa thoroughly prior to cooking otherwise it can have a sharp or bitter flavour. I did the rinse each time. Today, my lunch buddy brought a chicken stir fry with quinoa. She did not rinse it prior to cooking... and I…

Jam session at my place...
Rhubarb Ginger Jam, as a matter of fact... Does anyone else make preserves or do canning? My parents always have a big garden and put up much of their winter's food so they can control the ingredients. While I don't have the time or energy to do what they do, I do have a nice rhubarb patch and a fruitful plum tree in my…

Batch cooking...
As mentioned in a different thread, the dietitian suggested I take up batch cooking in order to assure a readily available supply of nutritious food ready to be reheated. I'm reasonably awful at meal planning and I'm wearing the results. Lack of planning leads to lack of portion control after snacks are skipped or…

The next place I lived had several Shotokan clubs but none of them appealed to me as they seemed focused on tournament prep as opposed to the art... so I dabbled in…

Better late than never...
Hi there, I joined MFP in January as a way to keep track of my food & exercise. A while later, I started using some of the other features... and recently, I began checking in on the message boards. I'm not great at the whole social media thing so I'm likely going to be a bit slow at asking for new friends... but I've seen…
