This book would be an excellent edition to the collection but cookbooks are
so difficult to prepare for collection? Anyone game?

Quinoa is an easy-to-prepare, protein-packed whole grain
By Amy Culbertson | McClatchy Newspapers

In most cookbook indexes, the "Q" section is either tiny or
nonexistent. Not so, however, in "The Complete Whole Grains
Cookbook." The reason: quinoa.

Judging from the buzz about the nutritional benefits of this ancient
grain, you may soon be seeing bigger "Q" sections in a lot of other
cookbook indexes.
So what is quinoa (KEEN-wah) and why is it called a "supergrain"?

Technically, it's a seed, from a plant related to amaranth and
spinach. It's of South American origin, and the Incas called it "the
mother grain."

Not only is quinoa higher in protein than most grains, it's also one
of the rare vegetable sources of complete protein. It's high in
manganese, iron and dietary fiber; half a cup of it counts as almost
two servings of whole grain.

Eating whole-grain products and dietary fiber lowers the risk of high
blood pressure and heart attack, and quinoa also is high in
magnesium, which relaxes the blood vessels.

The type of quinoa we're most likely to find in natural-foods stores
and specialty supermarkets is light-colored, like a round sesame
seed. Less widely available is red quinoa, and even rarer is black
quinoa. Gluten-free, quinoa also is ground into flour, sold as a
cereal and made into pasta.

COOKING

Quinoa can be used like rice, barley, bulgur, millet or couscous - as
a side dish; in salads, soups and casseroles; as a hot cereal.

Before cooking, it should be rinsed to remove any traces of a bitter
coating called saponin. For a nuttier flavor, it can be toasted in a
skillet over medium heat until fragrant before cooking.

Quinoa can be cooked exactly like rice: Use one part quinoa to two
parts water or stock (plus salt to taste); bring to a boil, reduce
heat to a simmer, cover and cook 15 minutes, let stand 5 minutes with
cover on. To microwave: Use one part quinoa to two parts water or
stock (salt to taste); cook on high 10 minutes, stir, cook on high 7
more minutes, cover and let stand 5 minutes.

Hi Dave,

No, this is *not* the issue.  <smiling>  Now I'm beginning to sound
like E., God bless her.  The issue, for the hundredth time, is that the
control which comprises the edit field and the browse button, is only
truly visible to users of Jaws.  If you use WE, you see this control as
a double edit box.  It does not show up at all in System Access.  I
realize that a good eighty percent of you use Jaws so the issue doesn't
apply to you, but it is most definitely one that needs to be addressed.
It is not, as I said in my former post, a bookshare issue.  It is an
issue with all sites of this kind that have this control.  It is a
general, pervasive, important issue concerning web accessibility!

As for file-names, I couldn't agree more!  In fact, one of the things
in the proposed Wiki should be a note about file naming conventions.
Dave is right.  A file name should contain no spaces, and no additional
punctuation like apostrophes or whatever.  One should use either dashes
or underscores between the words of the file-name.  Computers running
operating systems other than Windows have a hard time with file-names
that have spaces in them.  Why aggravate yourselves?  Get used to
writing file-names properly all over your computer, and you won't have
any more trouble.
