peony: Ritchie v are you serious quinoa is the best thing ever! Have you even tried it? It's good for you too just saying!!!
Ritchie: Wow is there no end to your talents? Anybody that can fit the word wonderment in a sentence, impresses me.And all I ever thought you were was someone sent to troll. ( Joke ) If you have a gift why not Flaunt it, I have many.. Im being serious now, I would never marry somebody that couldnt cook, or smokes, or had no interest in learning. I guarantee for £5.00 I could feed a family of 3 - 4. Making Pasta is Fun and so Yummmy Bubble Gummy..
Ritchie: Alyx I normally go to farm shops where you can get great deals, or health food shops. What does Quinoa taste like? No one has described ho wit tastes.I love Nuts, and sprinkling sesame seeds on my salads. Peanut oil is great for Chinese cooking. If kids eat your cooking its generally a good sign you are a good cook, and its important to introduce kids to so many tastes and experiences that you can when they are young. They will grow up having a passion and love for life.
Ritchie: Quinoa
peony: @ritchie v male friends not men typo!
Alyx: KD not KS :)
Ritchie: Sounds delicious
Ritchie: Quinoa is known as Goosefoot Genus lol Hmm Let me Make a Goosefoot Genus Cereal
Alyx: Kd is Kraft dinner lol. Like Mac and cheese? And I'm not sure I could describe quinoa. I usually have it mixed with things, I've never had it alone. But it doesn't change the taste so I don't think it really taste like anything lol. I live on Canada and so everything is much more expensive than the states. Health stores here don't carry seeds, at least not in my city they only carry supplements, oils, sometimes fresh vegetables and fruits. Where I live there's also very little difference from grocery store to grocery store. People get angry about the most expensive store charging 10 cents more than everywhere else, I know it adds up eventually but they do all try to be lowest priced. I go to farmers markets but there's generally nothing but fruits and vegetables. Never seen any seeds or anything like that. I don't generally cook a lot, its just me most of the time so I cook a lot of quick little one person meals and since I'm also a picky eater (I don't like spicy) and I don't eat meat, so it's difficult to find a lot of different foods to cook that doesn't break the bank either.
Ritchie: I said if they dont want to learn. Since we are talking about food " Variety is the Spice of Life " Im not being hard, Quote " Im real " I love making my own freshly Ground spices, People have to taste my cooking, I take pleasure in cooking for people, I am a passionate person in all that I do in life, even annoying you haha
