Revenge of the Twins

If you have been keeping up with our blog, you will remember our troubles with the bandit quinoa. More than a week in, pieces of quinoa are still popping up in unexpected places. Quinoa may have won the first few skirmishes with its guerilla tactics, but it's war now. Azra and I regrouped to revenge ourselves on the rebel grain. The strategy was to gather a group of ingredients into the kitchen. To keep quinoa feeling safe, we first sautéed some onions, carrots, peppers, and broccoli in a sauce pan. Then, we launched a surprise attack and added the quinoa into the mix, followed by some water and spices. We let the rebel quinoa stew to reflect on its misdeeds. Despite being a bitter opponent, quinoa sure tasted delicious! (Our only regret is that we had to sacrifice a few vegetables to revenge ourselves on the real culprit).

Ako se sjecate, od prvog dana quinoa nam stvara puno problema. Iako smo se trudile da je detaljno pocistimo,vjerovali ili ne jos uvijek odnekud iskrsne poneko zrnce i to tamo gdje ne treba. Naljutile smo se i odlucile da je svu pojedemo. Bas je bila ukusna.
 O da! Mama je na povratku kuci bila "prijatno" iznenadjena kad je otvorila svoj kofer. Quinoe je bilo svuda. Svi pokloni koje je kupila bili su "zacinjeni". Tata je to naravno snimio.

Battle Preparations

It looks better on the plate than on the floor
