Quinoa Recipes
I absolutely love quinoa. I hate eating it cold though. I usually serve quinoa hot with a number of different veggies in it and some sort of protein.
One of my favourite things to do is make it with either water or broth (broth if you want more flavour) and eat it hot with spinach, mushrooms, basil, chopped up shrimp/chicken/whatever, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Its one of my favourite go-to meals.
Why Coffee Dates Make Great First Dates
Say what you will about needing to go on a real date like a grownup - I'm a fan of the coffee first date. Of course, its always much better to go to a nice little café rather than a loud, busy Starbucks, Peets, etc. I've generally found coffee dates to be completely enjoyable - they're generally really relaxed, cheap, and conducive to conversation. Not to mention that they have somewhat of a time limit, and so if my date is a real asshat, I can exit politely once the drinks are finished. Or, if the date is going well and we're both enjoying ourselves, it can be extended to a post-coffee dinner or what have you.
Also, its sorta nice to snag cup of tea and go for a walk together instead of sitting down and being sedentary. Taking 22 credits means I spend a lot of time on my can anyway! :-p
Who amongst us, has the best pickiest eater story?
@timotheos When my brother and I were little, we would refuse to eat eggs with any brown on them... until our babysitter told us that the brown was simply love that she put into making the eggs. Not sure why that would make me want them though...
I dated a guy last year who would only eat cucumbers for veggies. He would refuse to even try any other veggie (except for iceberg lettuce smothered in ranch...) so every single time I cooked dinner he would get upset if I hadn't sliced up and seasoned a cucumber. I never ever want to eat a cucumber again.
He refused mushrooms too. One time, I sliced up some oyster mushrooms and sauteed them in a ton of garlic and a bit of olive oil, and didn't tell him that they were mushrooms and he loved them. But once I announced that he had just eaten mushrooms and liked them he changed his tune... haha

Have you thought about making a variation of Bhaji? I think its wayyyyy yummier than traditional American onion rings, and a bit lighter too in terms of both taste and texture. When I make it, I usually use a combo of chickpea flour, rice flour, baking powder, turmeric, cumin, sometimes coriander, salt and pepper and then I just pan fry them in a ton of vegetable oil. I don't know how traditional this is, especially because I don't slice the onions very thinly but instead I try to go for thicker rings, but its tasty nonetheless!
