Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Hmmm, I foresee my couscous with walnuts and artichoke hearts in the near future.

OH! I'd like this recipe. I have two boxes of TJ's whole wheat couscous in my pantry that i'd love to use.

Well, I just looked at the cookies I bought. Why Look - a trans fat. and corn syrup ( not high fructose, but corn syrup is one of those industrial products that I have issues with) But they are tasty - and not a normal part of my diet. So it isn't none in my house, but there isn't a lot.

My last attempt at couscous was definitely sub-par, despite using the same container of grain I've been using all along. I don't know if I've forgotten something I was supposed to season the water with or what.

I figure as long as I don't eat like my grandmother - I'm doing ok. My mom grew up with things like cake for breakfast.

Eggs, milk, wheat. What's wrong with that?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Mmmmm, black pudding. Love. It.

I have been known to consume a can of artichoke hearts for dinner. They are most tasty.
