PHOENIX -- Disaster was not averted this Friday evening when a local area man spilled raw quinoa all over his kitchen. Shelves, countertops, refrigerator top, and floor were covered with a thin layer of the nutritious nuggets.
"It was total disaster. The quinoa was everywhere. Cleanup took minutes," the man told reporters after the incident.
The spillage was caused by a small dime-sized hole in a thin plastic bag containing the quinoa. The man unknowingly carried the bag throughout the kitchen, leaving behind a foot-wide trail of mess and mayhem.
No charges have been filed, but an investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the hole.
Cleanup was prompt and entailed use of a vacuum cleaner and much swearing. No noise complaints were filed by neighbors. A full kitchen recovery is likely, officials predict.
"This was bad, real bad, but it could have been worse," the man said. "I think it's safe to say that the worst is behind us, and, all in all, it wasn't as bad as the Slippery Spaghetti Scare of '08."
