Comida

It is the middle of the winter here and soup is the perfect meal for the cold and often wet days. I gathered up all the ingredients to make Quinoa Soup with vegetables and took the steps to prepare it which consisted of soaking the Quinoa grains overnight and chopping and dicing all the vegetables. Although the preparation was easy, it took over 8 hours! The actual cooking time was only 10 minutes total. It was the first time I had used squash(zapallo) and it was delicious. It is a lighter orange color than the carrots.

Quinoa soup with Vegetables I was so proud of my soup, I offered for Gabriella to have some! I was leaving for the afternoon and evening of teaching so showed her where I had stored the soup in the fridge. By the time I returned home, it was about 8 PM and I was really looking forward to having a bowl of my delicious soup. When I opened the fridge, I could not find my soup anywhere! Gabriella had eaten it all! I thought I had offered for her to have SOME, not ALL!

I immediately soaked another batch of Quinoa and made some more soup. I did not offer ANY to Gabriella this time! And I've enrolled in some Spanish classes...!
