That does sound good. I need groceries. I have scraped the last bit of peanut butter from the jar and I'm still hungry.

In Olympics news: I had no idea that there was synchronized diving.

In vaguely Olympics related news: I bet Team Argentina is sad that they didn't add Del Potro to their team.

I'm so loving this cous cous salad I made on Friday, I think I'm just going to make it again, rather than find other things to do with the leftover ingredients. Mmmmm.

It was really good. It was this recipe, except I didn't have carrots. Also mine is a lot thicker. But it is GOOD. I have to freeze some before I get sick of it, though.http://economicalmeals.blogspot.com/2008/06/lentil-soup-with-cornbread.html

Have I reached the age where it seems like everyone is dying? Or is there just more dying lately?

Hub and I were just having this conversation a bit ago when I told him about Isaac Hayes.

Jesse, what's in the salad? I love couscous, and need some stuff I can premake for lunch or for when I get home late at night this week.

It's got olives (two kinds!), tomatoes, feta, parsley, and just lemon juice and olive oil. Delish.

Ooh, and that stew looks yum, too!

That sounds delicious!

On the Olympics, having fewer packages and more sports has got to be cheaper, doesn't it? (In addition to being more awesome, I mean.) This morning on the weight lifting, they mentioned that the American was the 31-year-old mother of an autistic child, but they didn't send a whole crew to her house last month to film her with said child, etc.

Teh YUM! Kalamata and green cracked garlic olives would work, yes?

Regular couscous, or a specific flavor? (I love the Near East couscouses. Couscousi? or is couscous a singular AND a plural? Huh.)

Teh YUM! Kalamata and green cracked garlic olives would work, yes?

That's almost exactly what I had -- I had kalamata in the fridge, and bought the spicy green ones.

And it was the TJ's Israeli cous cous/grain mix, but since it was a take-off of this, any grain would work, I bet.
