You're definitely throwing down the gauntlet when you name something the "World's Easiest Dinner." the second my FIL received his Esquire and found it, they had to try it. Actually, they emailed everyone a scanned copy of the recipe, and tried it that night. We're up next.
A couple of years ago a brown, nutty, slightly chewy grain started appearing in the dishes I'd order at restaurants. It usually came as an accompaniment, a few grains or a small pile amid some fresh vegetables ...
