We weren't apocolypsed...try quinoa!

If you didn't catch the global news that the end of the world was predicted to start on Saturday, May 21, 2011, you didn't miss anything anyways. For the "End Days" people to think that they had some inside scoop that neither the angels in Heaven, nor the Son of Man had is just plain ridiculousity. But I must say, if it caused even one person to repent and come to Christ, then I rejoice in that.

Saturday, while all of that was not going on, I was cooking quinoa for the first time. I liked it. I made a dressing of red wine vinegar, fresh-squeezed lime juice and EVOO, then added cherry tomatoes, black beans, cilantro, lime zest, red onion, jalapeno, and the quinoa. I served it with shrimp sprinkled with S&P and paprika, then sauteed. They went in a sauce of lemon juice, EVOO, a touch of honey, and some Grey Poupon. It turned out beautifully! The quinoa was really good...the texture was familiar, kind of like grits meets rice.  

Speaking of grits, tonight we are having breakfast for dinner. We'll have country sliced ham, cheesey grits, eggs, and buttermilk biscuits. I'm salivating already!

I hope ya'll had a great weekend too, filled with good food and fun times!
