Last night for supper I prepared quinoa for the first time. And I enjoyed it well enough. But I think it gave me nightmares.
If you've never had quinoa, it's a little tiny grain, and when it's cooked, something interesting happens. The little germ sprout pops out of the rest of the grain. I really haven't the foggiest idea how to add a picture, especially someone else's picture, to a blog, but here's someone else's picture of cooked quinoa for you to peruse if it's a new thing for you:
Cooked quinoa
While in my waking hours, I thought this was pretty cool, apparently my subconscious was a little troubled, because I dreamed that there were beans just under my husband's skin, and they were sprouting. There were butter beans like you would sprout in 2nd grade science class and also red lentils. And I was charged with popping them out from under his skin. It was very, very creepy. I'll fix quinoa again, but I think I'll make it at lunch next time.

Makes me glad I gave our quinoa away before I ever had a chance to cook any, LOL!
