KEEN-wah


We have been busy for the last week or so and a few recipes we tried sputtered out. While they were nicely done, certainly not WorthSharing. Yesterday we had an unplanned brunch, with stuff out of the fridge and it was WorthSharing! It started with a discussion about how to pronounce Quinoa. One of the conversation participants likes to pronounce hors d'oeuvre as or-derbies. I think that the conversationalist uses the word, or-derbies, to make people wonder about his intelligence. According to Wiki-Answers there are two alternative ways of pronouncing "quinoa": The first option is "kee-NO-wah" and the other is "KEEN-wah." So to all the wordies out there don't look at me funny when I pronounce it like it is spelled.




For our brunch we had one of our favorite soups - Spicy Sweet Potato, Napa cabbage salad and Quinoa. We experimented with kee-no-wah and cooked a cup of it with 2 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast along with a little red onion and pulverized mushrooms. It came out great with a earthy, salty flavor.

thats all for now, Bob and Yifat.
