This never turned out for me so, after asking around, decided to cook it like pasta instead of rice. I rinse it, then add it to boiling water (salted for savory, unsalted for sweet I eat it for breakfast with almond milk and dried fruit) then I let it cook for about 15 mins, till it is done then I spread it out on a sheet pan to cool quickly so it doesn't keep cooking and done. I like the texture of quinoa and found this method the best way to keep that wonderful texture.

So happy to see your beautiful home on apartment therapy! The back yard looks amazing! Great job!

Do not say a word or you may find yourself the chef and not the guest! Enjoy the company and offer to help clean up, help set the table, and always tell your host how wonderful everything is!

Geeeeezzzzzz, I think we are supposed to be looking at the overall decor (which is not 80's, the southwest and its style has existed for a bit longer) and not picking apart what may or may not be a real rhino horn. Agree, not cool if real but...
I do live in Arizona and love the romance of the old masonry and sausalito tile and yes, turquoise. I love how mexican, native american, and rancher culture translate into home decor.

it screams heat because it is arizona and we have no water and it is 110 outside. i do think the yard could use a bit more, something, but considering the houses location, it is refreshing to see a yard that does not require water (but what about that sad patch of grass in the back?).

just in case you don't have it together to make something everyday, here is a blog (not mine) that you can relate and laugh with.

I love the inspiration! I have volunteered at a few local domestic violence shelters and always wish the place felt more alive and inviting, not to me, but to the women who are worth a beautiful space to relax and get their lives back together! Bravo to a job well done and thank you for the inspiration.
