This is the house that Tom built....

Tom and his Dad have been building a little bedroom cabin with a loft behind the house. It's almost done. I'll post more recent pictures soon, these are from a few weeks ago.

Anonymous said...: I love your blog site Heidi and Tom. The layout is colorful with all the great family photos. I really enjoyed seeing the cottage that Tom & Vince are building. Super idea! I'm so glad that you moved here because I love Vince's family to pieces. By the way, that Montezuma's Castle is located in Camp Verde,AZ. It was built by the indigenous population in the 1400s era. They were a very tiny people as you can tell from the side of the rooms in the cliff dwelling. Amazing! I'll bet you missed out on the excellent Mexican restaurant that's located just outside the town of Camp Verde, Rio Verde Restaurant

(I would have rated it a 20 out of 10). They used to serve a veal choice that was outstanding. Every time we had dinner there, we were never disappointed.; April 18, 2010 at 4:23 PM

So What is Quinoa?

Quinoa, pronounced KEEN-wa, is a tiny grain grown in the Andes. There are 3 common varieties namely Red, White, and Black. To the Incas, quinoa was called "the mother grain" because it was a major source of protein for them. It actually contains all of the essential amino acids making it a complete protein. Pretty cool, huh?
The quinoa used in this recipe is rolled. Just like how oats are made into oatmeal. Usually you can only get it by mail order. The most common variety is the whole white quinoa found in heath food stores. It is good to add to soup, cooks like rice and makes a good pilaf, yummy as a hot breakfast cereal and there are many more uses.
