    Only potatoes and rice would become a little boring over the years. I tried several exotic grains I could find at our three local health shops. My first favorite is amaranth, my second favorite is quinoa ^. I also tried millet ^, but it tastes like wet sand and I can't understand why my birds like it.

    I need to try some amaranth, since I really like quinoa. At least you only have to rinse that not soak it. I make these quinoa stuffed peppers topped with feta or goat cheese.

      {HUMOR}This whole post is me having fun with the statement, "If she could cook I'd marry her."{/HUMOR}{SEXIST}Potentially Sexist and I want that to be funny. Women are not expected to cook in my house. I do 50% of the cooking or more if I have the time.{/SEXIST} So you are attractive and smart. Your articles here are a great read. I think a lot of guys might have been interested. But now we have some real concerns about your cooking. You've really thrown some unhandled exceptions for those of us who are male and single. I think you need to absolve yourself by writing a good article based upon timers and reminders that way your computer can prompt you to provide proper care for your meals in preparation while you work on CP content. Maybe even a cooking class would be appropriate I mean... every recipe I've ever made did convey some responsibility to the preparer for time management. You really need to get a handle on this before it gets out of hand. You could be single forever!:laugh: DISCLAIMER: This entire post was tinged with bits of sexism, male stupidness and general stereotypes. The author of this post readily admits the problem but begs forgiveness as he meant the whole to be innocently funny and hopes he offended nobody with his blatant acts of stupid humor.:rose: Carry on!:-D

          Quinoa with feta - I have to try that! :) But not before the project is finished, because, you know...

            If you want to invest some cash you can. Just get a shirt without any text and go to these shops (no idea how is it called) where they can paint on it whatever you want.

              It doesn't taste good with gassed water, though. :P And of course I prefer hot tea. I even prefer hot tea in summer (at home!) - it still helps with thirst.

                If you just want simple text you can open your own cafepress store, upload the image with text you made by screen shotting word and then buy it.

                      Yesterday evening I was just about to continue writing an article for CP, when I thought: Let's cook something for supper, before diving into the code! Soup with noodles and amaranth, yes, that sounds simple and can nearly cook itself while I'm writing. So I filled water and amaranth into pot, put it onto the cooker and left the kitchen... About two hours later I had forgotten all about food. As I left my computer to go to the bathroom, a strange smell of smoke tickled my nose. I wondered where the strange smell came from and for a second I thought it might have come from the hall through the closed door. But then the harddisk in my head started to work ... SCREAM!!!! I took a deep breath, ran into the kitchen (which was a single grey cloud), turned off the cooker and opened the window. Then I ran back into the living room to continue breathing. the kitchen was nothing but smoke, the hall began to stink as well. Well, it's really not the first time I forget my food on the cooker. So I calmed down quickly and started coding again. When the smoke in the kitchen had cleared a little, I returned to check the smell. It didn't get any better. Again, the rarely used parts of my brain started working ... of course, there's more and more smell coming out of the pot! So I put the pot out onto the terrace. Out there in the night, in cool fresh air and this winter's first snow (yes, last night I saw the first snowflakes fall!), I could take a closer look at the thing. There were black marks all over the lid, the plastik knob on top of it had little blisters. Damn it, my only small pot had experienced some kind of meltdown! As I said before, it wasn't the first time my food burned whil I was writing or coding. I happend quite often since last year. Until a year ago, I hadn't had a kitchen and the cooker had been standing in my living room, together with the computer... Well, it was just another coding night without supper. But it was the first time there was thick smoke in my apartment and also the first time I destroyed the kitchen hardware. Someday I'll starve (in the morning my "body mass index" was 18.1, I can't afford getting any thinner) or I'll burn inside my apartment and my gravestone will say: Died of C# overdose and CodeProject addiction. Anyway, I think I'll finish the article next weekend. :) Have a nice day (and cold food) coco

                      That's SO me five years ago! (except the body mass index :-/ Get a little rib cover, dear lady - how we are supposed to get you through the winter?) Now I put the Abzugshaube on highest level whenever I have something - anything - on the stove. It's so annoying that every five minutes I wonder "what's that terrible noise?" and walk to the kitchen (maybe to look out for yellow bulldozers?) It's weird, but it works.
