Yeah that sucks...get a Japanesse rice cooker (check out Zojirushi) - it will keep your rice safely steamed for 3 days. For the quinoa, I always cook it in a low sodium chicken stock and add green and red peppers, served with grilled salmon and asparagus.

new addition to shopping list i think

I just heard about quinoa and was thinking of picking it up as a rice replacement for my afternoon snack. Heard it has more protein than rice. I also need something better for my breakfast other than oatmeal and eggs. My breakfast has always sucked really bad in terms of protein.

I bought some of this Quinoa last night. The flavor was "black bean". Took about 15 minutes to cook. The great news is that it has 6 grams of protein in only 1/4 cup! Thats twice the protein of the white rice I have been eating. Its quite pricey but if you have the money this is an excellent replacement for rice.

Boil it like pasta. It taste like Macaroni to me. I add some butter to it I bet you could add some cheddar too. Taste great. Good to switch up from brown rice I don't really like the taste of rice.

lol...I've never heard of anyone getting sick from anything to do with eating rice unless it was Chinese food!
