Mmmmmmm, pie!

Geez..... I opened a little bag of cornbread muffin mix, heated up a can of soup beans, cut a slice of onion up into little bits and stirred them into the soup beans, and learned that the house label tub of margarine that I bought the other day won't melt, and tastes like Crisco.... |

Well, you asked... Boneless, skinless chicken thighs smothered down in an old iron skillet. Fresh zipper peas out of the garden with some home-smoked bacon ends for flavor. Hot cornbread. Sweet tea. Hot fudge sundaes for dessert. Life ain't half-bad.... |

Tried a new recipe tonight: Quinoa Risotto with Mushrooms and Thyme 1 cup quinoa, rinsed 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 1/2 cups chopped onion 1 garlic clove, pressed 1 8-ounce package sliced crimini (baby bella) mushrooms 6 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, sliced 3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, divided 1 cup dry white wine Grated Parmesan cheese preparation Bring 2 cups salted water to boil in medium saucepan. Add quinoa, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender and water is absorbed, about 13 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until onion begins to brown, 5 minutes. Add garlic; stir 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and thyme. Sautée; until mushrooms are tender, 6 minutes. Add wine; stir until wine is reduced and liquid is syrupy, 2 minutes. Mix quinoa into mushroom mixture; season with salt and pepper. Pass cheese separately. |

I've only fixed quinoa once, with so-so results. I'll have to give it another go. |

Don't make that recipe. Make this one: http://s10.zetaboards.com/The_New_Coffee_Room/single/?p=8427285&t=7208757 It is divine. Ask the several people here and at WTF who also made it. |
