Sometimes you know that you will be away from home for a long time and that this will require sustenance. Such was the case today. I was scheduled to work 12-6, but had to pick up Alex from my mom in Flint and get a few items from the grocery store. Without planning ahead, this inevitably would have ended with me at Jerusalem Garden, even though I try not to go there because I find their customer service lacking. And since I was there, I would have ordered the baklava. Since one of this year’s goals is to develop visible abs, I have been trying to pay more attention to what I’m putting in the engine. So as I stood in the kitchen this morning at 10:00 or so, I knew I had to come up with something. \u00a0So, I made a tabouli-like salad-like thing based on the ingredients on hand.<\/p>\n

Recipe:<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

1c couscous<\/p>\n

1 shallot, sliced thinly<\/p>\n

1 cucumber, chopped<\/p>\n

1 tomato, chopped and a few small yellow pear tomatoes if you have them, also chopped<\/p>\n

handful of Italian parsley, finely chopped<\/p>\n

Juice of one lemon<\/p>\n

generous splash of olive oil<\/p>\n

salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n

Heat one cup of water over medium heat in a saucepan. When the water begins to boil, add shallots and couscous. Stir and remove from heat. Allow to cool.<\/p>\n

Add the couscous to your container, then add your cucumbers, then add your tomatoes, then add your parsley. At this point, you have pretty, colorful layers.<\/p>\n

Whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour over top of this concoction.<\/p>\n

Take to work and eat for lunch until you’ve had enough. \u00a0Take out again and have for dinner.<\/p>\n

Be glad you’re not spending money when you didn’t need to only to be greeted with crappy service.<\/p>\n

The end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
