Alright, alright. I admit it. I didn't even know what quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah in case like me you are clueless) was until about a year ago. Now we see it everywhere, and it's touted as a super-food. While I'm sure it would be a healthy addition to my diet, I haven't been able to elevate it beyond "wallpaper paste" in flavor. Sort of like grits, but put enough butter and brown sugar on grits...or a scoop of ice cream like we did with our oatmeal... maybe that would work with quinoa? Perhaps that would defeat the health benefits?
Food fads keep popping up (kale? Really?), sort of like bridge conventions. And each one needs to be analyzed whether the bid you give up to make room for the convention is worth the benefit. But you already know that. If however you know a way to make quinoa delicious as well as healthy, would you let me know?
Meantime, here are five questions and a hand that put a premium on thoughtful, healthy bridge. Have fun!
