Cous Cous

So Friday afternoon Dean and I went grocery shopping so that I'd have all the stuff I needed for the Thanksgiving stuff I had to take to his aunt's house on Saturday. Which, by the way, my turtle pie was about the only dessert to go. Everyone dug into my pie and the other desserts were barely touched. I love it when that happens. Next time I make it, I'm going to make the crust myself so I can do it up big time. I don't care how nice you make a pie look, if you make it with one of those premade crusts in the tin, it's just going to look chintzy.
Anyway, so we're in the grocery store and Dean grabs a box of cous cous from the shelf and I was like "really? cous cous?" But it's chicken flavored and apparently supposed to be good so I allow it. Let me tell you, it's going on my list of stuff to make when we need food fairly quick but not a huge meal.
Ok, so thanks to Ma I make ramen noodles once in a while like it's a gourmet dish or something. I drain the water, then add in the seasonings and a can of the tyson's chicken. It's actually reallly good that way. In fact, I didn't know ramen was supposed to be a soup until I hit college and actually looked at the directions. Go figure. So anyway, I went to make that last night and Dean had eaten it all so I pulled out the cous cous and did the same thing with that. It was really quite good... lots of flavor. So there you go.. we tried something new last night... and probably tonight too... as I'm making the curry.
