Day 24 - I Made It!
It is Day 24. I made it. And, by making it, I mean that I made a quinoa salad. I bought a deli quinoa salad at Byerly's yesterday that was SO delicious ( I truly don't know if it was as good as I thought or if I was just super hungry and ate it in my car). Anyway, I wanted to buy it again today, but decided that I would just dust off the bag of quinoa that I have had in my pantry for over a year (it really does keep very well) and make my own.
Don't get me wrong, I honestly thought it would end up tasting similar to the hard boiled eggs and Greek yogurt fiasco. My test kitchen does not have a great track record. Well, guess what? IT DID NOT (read that last sentence like Forest Gump would say it...it sounds fun when you do it that way...now add Lt. Dan at the end). I have to say that it was delicious! I won the quinoa salad making contest that I had with myself. I won it!!!
Thank you for reading my ramblings throughout this challenge. I really appreciate it. Now, let's go get life and enjoy it!
Quinoa,

I looked up the word quinoa, hoping that it was a word with a beautiful meaning behind it...like aloha or mahalo or something like that. Something that would tie this entire challenge together for me. Nope, it is a grain crop grown for its edible seeds. Nothing too sexy about that, huh? Oh well. But, who knows, maybe it does translate into something deeper and I just don't know it. I think for now, I will act like it does means something more...a great ending, a wonderful journey, possibly a new beginning or maybe something in between.
