i'm of Chinese Decent. so basically, my body is sponsored by RICE. white rice. if i cant get rice, i find someone that can make noodles from rice and i get them to sell me some.

the other day, i saw a bag of pearled barley. i got curious and figured a few bucks for a 1lb bag is acceptable. i cooked it and tasted it. it tasted kinda like...hmmmm..rice? chewy and nutty.

i stir-fried a bunch of random veggies including mushrooms and when done, i put in some BARLEY. i plated some, and served it to my wife.

she thinks i invented a new dish..and LOVED IT. being a nurse she started yammering about hypoglycemic numbers, and complex carbs...

BARLEY doesnt suck. i am going to work it into my rotation. and not just Barley turned into adult beverages.

today - i picked up some cured tofu squares....hmmmm..
