Grass/weed of some sort that I'm pretending is actually quinoa.
If you're a 43 year old wife and mother, you can cook it in some chicken broth and vegetable broth and finely chop some left over sauteed zucchini and mix that in and add some garlic and salt and pepper and some fine herbs. Delicious.
If you are a 44 year old husband and father you can look at the little squiggles with some suspicion, but suck it up any way as an example for the children.
If you are a 10 year old son and brother, you can announce to the table that you will try a little (very brave we all thought).
If you are an 8 year old daughter and sister, you can try it with gusto and realize just a few bites in that you don't like it. However, you may find, as my daughter did, that it makes a wonderful sculpting medium. Instead of making a many petaled flower, you might poop out and decide to just make a bunny after carefully placing two petals. They happen to make lovely ears.
Sometimes the medium shapes the form. The bunny was already in the quinoa and my daughter just needed to release it.
Your quinoa bunny will be received with great acclaim.

We love quinoa (especially the red) with roasted veggies. An easy and favorite dinner here.
Sounds delicious. I would love it--not sure of the rest of my family members...
Very cute :)
Quinoa is definitely a favorite over here.
My daughter really got into it. She was going to sculpt something and all of a sudden was very excited to learn that quinoa could be yet another medium for her work.
