I find it interesting how almost all the protestors are white middle age/older women. Is this a group of some sort or?The Kiss, today (23/10/2012) in Marseille, France.

Quinoa has become so popular lately. I bought my first bag from Whole Foods just last week. I have to say my first batch was disappointing, but then I found this website and the difference was incredible. Following the steps on this site made me fall in love with quinoa because of its amazing texture and nutty flavor. So I wanted to pass the site and advice on to you! Go out and try some quinoa!
One thing I would add, make sure to add some salt to the water when you boil the quinoa, it helps bring out the flavor.
How to make fluffy quinoa every time!
Tip 1: Rinse it. Rinse your dry quinoa in water before cooking. This removes some of the ‘mush-promoting’ grit on the grain.
Tip 2: Less is More. (Water) Most boxes of quinoa say to add 2 cups of water for every one cup of dry quinoa. I say that is too much! And remember if you are rinsing your quinoa you will be adding a bit more water anyways. For fluffy quinoa, less water is more. I do 1 part dry quinoa : 1 1/2 parts water ratio - then I rinse the quinoa and drain as much water as I can. For the Spiced Quinoa recipe below I added in some dry spices so the water amount increases a tad.
Tip 3: No Peeking! Once you close that pot lid over your cooking quinoa - no peeking! And no stirring! You don’t want to disturb the quinoa fluff factory bubbling inside.
Tip 4: Let it Sit. After cooking and before you lift the lid, turn OFF the stove and in the words of Kelly Clarkson, “Just Walk Away.” Let the quinoa sit for a good 5-10 minutes. Again - no peeking!
Tip 5: Stick a Fork in it. Fluff your cooked quinoa with a fork. No mush-enhancing spoons allowed.

- Bicycles to failure
- Plank to failure
Repeat this circuit 3-5 times. Remember, QUALITY over quantity.. it’s better to get less quality reps in than all the reps but half-hearted! Use slow and controlled movements and remember to breathe out when contracting. Squeeze HARD at the top of each movement. Failure means literally until you physically cannot perform another repetition with proper form.
