THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

I know, I know, I've been remiss.

So did you miss me?

I haven't been having any problems, just a seemingly busy week.

I made Chicken Marsala and Pearl Couscous one day.

And yes, I guess it was a bit of a problem.

I boiled the couscous instead of simmering them so they kind of stuck to the pan.

A day or so later I tried again, just heated the leftover chicken and with my mentor's guidance made some fresh sauce to add to it.

Then I tried a new recipe with the couscous, toasting them in a tad of olive oil first before adding the water, bringing it to a boil and then simmering for awhile.

They were browned nicely from the toasting and tasted great so I'll keep that recipe in my head.

Well maybe not my head, which is a bit forgetful these days.

Maybe I'll put the printout in my recipe folder.

Oh and guess what?

I forgot to take pictures of any of it!

Judy (SWMBO) would say something like "That's a stroke of luck for your readers!"

But anyway, I'm here now with the very latest edition of . . . well, you know.























Those are the jokes, folks.

Now I'd like you to use all of your enterprise to have a remarkably star-studded weekend ahead.

And always remember to keep laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

  5. Yes, I missed you! Actually checked to be sure there were no new posts!
    Haven't peaked yet...I like it! And it makes me feel hopeful that I haven't peaked yet either.
    Sounds like some good cooking going on at your house. I don't think I have ever had couscous, let alone tried to cook it.

    And yes, toasting the cous cous in the pan slightly does improve it!

  16. Here's a couscous cooking hint -- bring the water to boil, dump the couscous in and just turn off the heat. It will absorb the water and soften up without you having to attend to a simmering pot. You can do like the Moroccans and take it out periodically to "fluff" it if you're really focused!

    I like the "menu please" one. LOL!
