yum yum yum - dinner

dinner is my favorite. work sucks, we dont have a stove top, just a crappy little microwave. wtf. how am i supposed to make rice-a-roni for lunch when it takes up the nuker for 30 minutes straight? everyone would kill me. so, instead, when i get home we go all out when making dinner. yum. look at those bitches above. you wouldnt even believe me if i told you they were made out of couscous, wouldja? just some dry couscous, flour, baking soda, sugar, salt, and buttermilk. mixed up, fried like pancakes. here's a hint : let the batter sit for a couple of minutes (10 or so) so that the couscous can soak up the moisture. you could probably even make these even more delicious by using day old couscous! yum!


this bowl is much larger than it appears in the photo, hence, that is enough tri-color tomato and cilantro salad for three. it's just a large bowl. also, i had already helped myself to a HUGE portion! yum. it's just tomatos, cilantro, lemon juice. i salted my portion cause i really like salt on my tomatos, but that's to taste.



Now this shit, this is the BOMB. Apples sauteed in butter and a ginormous amount of molassas, with spinach. turns out we had less spinach than apples, but before we cooked it the spinach was also ginormous. yum yum yum. also add a pinch of salt to draw the water out of the greens when cooking, it makes them wilt faster without over cooking. yum yum.





Final plate! the couscous patties i ate with sour cream with the spinach and apples, and i wish we had a photo to show you but the bread was with GOAT CHEESE BRIE. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF ANYTHING SO DELICIOUS IN YOUR LIFE? NO. IT WAS AMAZING. FUCKING WINGS.

sooooo good. i wish there were leftovers! tonight we're trying japanese noodles with a peanut sauce we made that was originally supposed to go over popcorn, but the popcorn got kinda stale so we dipped it instead piece by piece. which meant we have lots of peanutty goodness left!

also, i bought some saffron. after i make saffron and shallot flavored butter, what should i make?
