Dinner

Tonight I made a cous cous & tofu stir fry for dinner. Since I have made it many times with Peter, and since I called him before I started making it to get directions, it was no problem at all to make. A delicious time was had by all.

That is how the post should have gone. Instead it goes like this:


To make cous cous one should out it in boiling water that is just enough to cook it but no too much so it does not get soggy. I apparently erred too much on the soggy caution side. When I checked on my cous cous I discovered that instead of 'fluffin nicely' it was 'smoking' & 'burning'. And judging by the amount of smoke I would have to say it was making it's way quickly towards being on fire. The aftermath, was a lot of wasted cous cous and a charred pot. Once again I am glad I have not invested in an expensive pot set, as my charring days do not seem to be ending.


Round two of dinner making went much smoother, and was a lot more delicious.


In answer to my cousin's question: Book club is going great! We just had a meeting last night, we read Any Known Blood by Lawrence Hill. An interesting look at 5 generations of a family and the different difficulties they come up against.
