Quinoa is also super expensive, for no reason other than hippies want it, at nearly 7bucks a lb on amazon it's crazy. Considering the max i'll pay for good japanese rice is like 1.20ish a lb, now i don't eat with a trough, but you know, you know know how much you're paying for food and how to get good value.
Like arborio rice last year i was making risotto by the plateful, it's just so hard to get that al dente. Also i was cooking up lots of whole chicken (so i had carcass to make stock). Bought a 11lb bag
Amazon.com : Roland Superfino Arborio Rice, 11-Pounds Bag : Arborio Rice Produce : Grocery Gourmet Food
for like 30bucks, why? frigging it's like 8bucks a lb at the supermarket (and honestly at the time i wasn't into any rice besides japanese short grain so i wasn't really looking), figure i gotta buy in bulk. for like 2.60 a lb
I'm almost out, but i did give like 3lbs to a friend who made banging paella and made better with this rice.
Now i live within driving distance of spanish supermarkets, i should check out their in store rice i guess.

My girlfriend hates it for this reason as well. I like the texture of it.

Fuck Quinoa. Even my dog that goes apeshit when you ask "Do you want *anything*" thinks fuck Quinoa. I asked him if he wanted any and he didn't even look up or twitch his ears. lol
This just went into the oven. This was requested by a friend for the Super Bowl. Raspberry heart/swirl cheesecake. First try for this one. I think it came out decent enough. It'll be another 90 minutes or so before it comes out. Will update this post when it's done.

Don't be jealous bro. I'd be happy to make one for you if you were close by. 
I don't normally bake anything for myself or my wife. Because we will both eat the hell out of it heh. Everything I've made recently has been for other people. The pattern on this one wouldn't be my first choice but like I said a friend requested I give it a try for them.
And if you must know I'm 225 down from 240 two months ago.
Came out better than I thought. The raspberry looks almost pearlescent.
