I have just discovered something called couscous!!!!
Now I realise that there are plenty of other people who have previously made this same discovery, and I am therefore re-inventing the wheel somewhat, but it doesn't stop me from being overly excited about finding something that will obviously revolutionise my life!!
On a more serious note - I actually am quite excited about making my re-acquaintance with this stuff, because my first encounter with it wasn't pleasant at all, and my second one was good, but there wasn't any follow-up action prescribed, so it's taken me this long to actually try cooking it for myself.
I had some for dinner with salmon and veg - lush!! But the best bit is that since it can be eaten cold, I've got the other half of the portion plus the spare salmon fillet and some mixed leaf salad to have for lunch tomorrow - heaven.
I keep looking for a) carbs that agree with me more than pasta, and b) ideas for stuff I can take for lunch, so this is ticking all the boxes so far. Hooray!!
I made a New Year's resolution that 2009 would be the year I would finally get healthy ... with the aim of losing 70lbs. That journey was the start of changing many things in my life for the better ... and I'm still on the journey!

Best of all, it's quick and easy to prepare.
Plus, there's that name: couscous. Like an exotic bird call or something.
