Quinoa Kale Slaw

Remember that awesome salad I raved about back in.... oh February? Well I'm just now adding the recipe, per my mothers request. Go get 'em Brandy!

1 1/2 c quinoa
2 1/4 c chicken stock
2 tsp salt, divided
1/4 c fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 small red bell pepper, stemmed & seeded, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed & seeded, finely diced
1 large garlic clove
1/2 c chopped red onion
1/2 c chopped parsley
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp tabasco or hot sauce
1 bunch kale, stems removed, chopped
2 Tbsp raw pumpkin seeds

Bring quinoa, stock and 1 tsp salt to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is absorbed and quinoa grains sprout (about 20 minutes.) Remove from heat. Add lemon juice and olive oil and toss to coat. Cool slightly. Add remaining ingredients, except for the kale, and toss to combine. Stir in the kale. Top with pumpkin seeds and serve warm or at room temperature. Makes for great cold leftovers, as well.

Recipe from Dr. Josh Axe (www.draxe.com) 

Jake and I made a big batch of this and took it camping. It stayed good in our cooler for 3 days. I'm in love with this recipe. It's going to be a staple meal in the Boucher household.

Internet Scams... Do they really think we are that dumb?

I received a bogus message on facebook which I coped and pasted below. I usually ignore these types of things because they are a dime a dozen and a waste of my time. I guess I was feeling reather cheeky that day because I actually replied. I typed out an impulsive email and got a response rather quickly. I'm guessing english is not this persons first language (the facebook address suggests Uruguay). Their response makes me wonder about other what other possible mischief this person is involved with. Anyway, this is definitely no the best con story I've ever heard, but it entertained me for about 5 minutes of my life. Do I sound bitter? I'm not. This scam is just so outdated!

Dear Orji Ugo
You are an idiot for sending messages to people over facebook that say "you have 3 relatives overseas that you never knew about who all died in a car accident, as the next of kin, come collect their 1,500,000 USD." You are a bad person who is trying to con people. Beware of karma, my friend. One day you too will be conned and you might not like it so much.

You have insulted me just now without knowing the truth and whom I am and it is a pity that someone like you can not reason with his brain rather decide to listen to hear say and news that have nothing to do with me or with this claim.  Even though scam exist or even though you have received several times of proposal does it mean that it is related to me and how sure are you that it is me or have anything to do with this claim and can't you understand that this days allot do happen where people take advantage of such opportuntiy and business in the internet to partake in it or even went as far as claiming that they know anything about the claim while they are not even the right person. I know myself but it is unfortunate that you went this low.

Orji.
