WFDT? Going to try cooking quinoa? Tips?

I don't know if there are rules a about starting these threads.
Roasting a 4 lb. chicken on top of Brussels's Sprouts.
I bought some quinoa in a hippie flashback. I want to make a gravy and serve it like rice but I have real rice. How do I cook this dirt? Should I go back out and buy some granola and tofu?

I cook it in my rice cooker. Check the package to see if it's pre-rinsed. If not, rinse it or you will have a little bit of grittiness.
If I have chicken stock on hand, I cook the quinoa in the stock, but water is fine, too.
Don't be afraid, try it. It's good.
ETA: Sixteen bean soup with smoked sausage on the stove at Chez Hood.

Cook it like you would rice. Good choice, delicious healthy alternative.
Rinse it first in a strainer.

I have a beef stock. I'll use it. I'll have a fresh chicken stock after cooking that chicken. Thanks folks!

Love quiona! Rinse WELL before cooking. Cook it the same as rice... add rosemary or any herb if you want.
Family gathering where they are cooking chicken and sausage gumbo... they said they would be baking some sweet potatoes for me
If they forget, I'll just have some lasagna when I get back home.

I cook the quinoa in the oven. I bring it to a boil on the stove and then stick it in the oven, covered, at 350 for 15 minutes. I can leave it in there to stay warm and turn off the oven and it works just fine. Perfect every time.
I've served it instead of rice with gravy. I thought it was great that way. I like the little bit of crunch. I've used it with coq au vin and beef bourguignon also and it was just fine.

Some great advice.

I haven't been able to put it in gumbo, yet, though. 
I used brown rice a few times and it was okay. I'd do it again.
You can use whatever stock or flavors you want with the quinoa. I've used herbs, onions and garlic and the like, whatever you'd do with rice or a pasta like orzo. I make a saffron, onion, parmesan, wine rice or orzo and I did the same thing with the quinoa. Very good.

This. I always use chicken stock. Also I like to add a whole clove of garlic and a bay leaf that I remove and discard when done. Helps add some much needed flavor.

You aren't going to see it?
I'd have loved to see the original run and I'd certainly go see the traveling show if convenient.

Chicken breasts sliced really thin. Breaded and pan fried in a black iron skillet. Perfect for sammiches or side dish.
Also made fresh potato salad and green peas with butter and corn bread.
Got leftover roast with rice and gravy.
The fridge is full and I'm going golfing this week before winter comes.

Probably just a turkey sandwich. Not in the mood to cook or grab takeout.
Side note, I saw this app in a magazine and would like some opinions before I try it. I do like fig and goat cheese together a lot.
Top a Fig Newton with a little goat cheese. Wrap in prosciutto. Broil for a few minutes. Thoughts?
