Have you ever had someone flirt with you based on your cooking? One day I was in the breakroom at work when a cute guy smelled what I was heating up for lunch and asked me if he could have some. Normally I don’t share food but I spooned a little in a separate bowl, walked it over to his desk and told him to let me know what he thought. He sent me an IM about 5 minutes later telling me that it was delicious and he wasn’t sure what it was but he was thankful that I gave him some to try. I let him know that it was quinoa and black beans. He asked, “what is quinoa?” I told him that quinoa is a grain that is high in protein and pretty high in carbs but it was a good addition if he was looking for more protein in his diet. He responded, “That's perfect because I’m a boxer.” This one little bowl of quinoa and black beans sparked up a conversation that eventually led to a nice date in my favorite restaurant. That’s why I call it the 1-2 punch. 😉
