Quinoa is delicious.
It’s rich and nutty, like brown rice.
When it’s seasoned just right, it’s the perfect addition to any meal.
It’s a very healthy food.
But I still don’t like it.
Why?
Because it’s shaped like tiny little pellets.
Eating quinoa is like eating a bowlful of poppy seeds.
Whenever I eat it, either quinoa or poppy seeds, I spend the next three days flossing debris out of my teeth.
And just when I think I’ve got every possible painful shard scraped out of my gums, another one makes a surprise appearance.
I’ve been flossing more quinoa this week than I actually ate.
I’m not sure how that’s possible, but I swear it’s the truth.
I’ll never eat quinoa again.
Until, that is, someone places a delicious dinner in front of me.
I’m certain to forget my promise.
I’ll eat the meal.
And then, while I spend the next three days flossing nonstop, I’ll promise to never eat it again.
This is the best way to deal with that drama quinoa.
