MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Well then, how about a recipe

 Last week we had a potluck lunch with family and my cousin brought this wonderful salad and kindly shared the recipe.  The RC has already made it for us....yum!  If you want to try it, here's the recipe...


MEDITERRANEAN QUINOA SALAD

1 c. quinoa
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp. oregano
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. olive oil
4 green onions
2 peppers (red, yellow or orange, or a combination)
1/2 c. pitted Kalamanta olives
1 English cucumber **
1/2 c. crumbled feta cheese

Rinse quinoa and then cook according to package directions.  Combine lemon, oregano, s&p and whisk in olive oil.  Add cooked quinoa.  Cool completely.  Add chopped vegetables and feta.  Chill before serving.  ** The RC said to tell you to quarter the cucumber lengthwise and remove the seeds before chopping.  

- Have a peek at the incredible creations by THIS artist!  And THIS one too.

- I might have a go at making THIS, just for fun.

- I think THIS would be a great family gift.

- I once made a book cover using THIS technique, but I like this version too.

Today's quote..." I wish I could sleep but my brain kicks in and...one sheep, two sheep, cow, turtle, duck, old McDonald had a farm...hey Macarena..."
