How does Bob feel about quinoa?

Hello my little cherubs, I hope everyone who is celebrating is having a good Passover and/or Easter. The seders are done, so now I just have to eat kosher for Pessach food for the next six days. And post gratuitous photos of me and matzah. Mmm...matzah.

I'm not eating chametz or kitniyot, but I like to have a little starch with my ratatouille, so I've made quinoa. As I was eating lunch today, I remembered that David Lynch, the scariest frigging director in the world, has a bonus feature on the DVD for Inland Empire, where he makes quinoa like he has his own cooking show.

It's so freaky. This is the man behind Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, the Elephant Man, etc. He's twisted, and literally scares the crap out of me. Hence the cognitive dissonance of seeing him cook quinoa, looking totally normal and boring.

You know what would be similarly disconcerting? Making a ham sandwich with matzah. That would be awesome.

KILL FOR QUINOA - that is freaky. I had nightmares about Twin Peaks for years. I understand that quinoa is a complete protein. Do you think that it is made of very small, furry creatures from Star Trek? David Lynch, quinoa, complete protein - it is all starting to make sense now.
