So tonight I decided to make peace with the couscous. I was going to put it in containers and freeze it until I was ready to eat. On closer examination and some pondering, I realized that I didn't cook couscous. I have thought I had couscous in my fridge for 2 days. I've looked up recipes to figure out what to do with it. I've shared this story with a couple of people... No, me and my very limited food knowledge have mixed up what should have been steel-cut oats and then mistaken for couscous for quinoa. Yup, I made a big giant batch of quinoa. You may be asking, how did this happen? Do you now know how to read packaging? I bought it in bulk, I've never made it before and I never labeled it. So, fun fact, you can cook quinoa just like the steel-cut oats recipe I put in the last post.
While trying to wrestle the quinoa into my limited supply of food storage containers I exploded it all over myself and my kitchen. There is quinoa in my hair, on my clothes, on my counter, on my floor, on my fridge and even on 2 of the walls... Note to self, try putting lids on food storage containers prior to sealing them. No matter how hard you try, if the lid doesn't fit and your hands are wet, the food will fly.
I leave you with a pretty pictures of birds on wires.
PS. I still maintain that I can make good french toast and delicious grilled cheeses
