Elise - Erik will be going in to have his feet cast (yes, both are fractured, he got the results today) sometime around 11:30 tomorrow. Having no idea how long this will be he's asked me to tell you just so you can guage what time would be best for visiting. TBH, I think the visiting times are between 2pm and 8pm anyway, so he should be done before then...
Sara - Quinoa is fairly bland and a little dry, but would be lovely with herbs/spices in it. It needs quite a lot of water to cook and takes around 20 mins in the microwave, not 15. Best bet is probably 4oz to 1pt water - you can always drain away any water not absorbed (don't forget to cover the container...) It would be really nice with a sauce or something equally liquid like a thick soup... Incidentally, if you can eat walnuts, I made a wicked salad today with walnuts, watercress, spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, onion and sprouting beans (85p for a tub in Arjuna.) Try it - as well as being incredibly good for you, its also very yummy! ;-)
