Thanks for the compliments. :)


I've cooked it many times, thanks. It's very tasty with oyster sauce.

It *was* nice and moist! I took a walk on the wild side away from my
usual white wine/lemon and marinaded the salmon in soy sauce and lemon
juice. I should have used more lemon and less soy thought, it was a
little too salty for us and I drained off the excess soy. Instead of
baking it, this time I broiled until done.

I bought the couscous from the bulk bin at Rainbow grocery. They have
even larger pearls than Israeli, so I will give them a try next time.
If you've never tried the Israeli size, you need to... they're
fabulous. Hubby couldn't stop telling me how much he liked them, so
they really were good. I can't believe how easy they are to cook.
Bring the broth to a boil, turn the fire down to low and let the
couscous absorb all the moisture. Done.

When I was up in the bay area last week, I found whole wheat Israeli
couscous at Berkeley Bowl. I snapped up a pound or so...to bring back
with me to NM. Haven't fixed any yet....

I also like to cook it risotto style. I forget who it was here in RFC
that pointed me to this method. No matter, it is very good cooked
this way too!!

The recipe started off to be risotto style, but to tell you the
truth... it was easier to just leave it alone and let it absorb the
liquid. I had other things to do.

Looks wonderful, and the plate is lovely. I've never had Israeli
couscous but I would love to try it.

Thanks for the compliments! Let me know if you can't find Israeli
couscous. I think I saw them in a yellow plastic container at the
grocery store. Mine were bulk, though.

I love broccoli, but Chinese broccoli is nothing like it. My experience,
only once, so maybe it was just a bad cut or something, it was very
bitter. I didn't like it at all.

DH made hamburgers.

I left home at 5:50 AM to go deep sea fishing with my friend. We got
back at 5 PM. I was not going to cook. It was dinner out or he cooked
it. Since there was a ball game on TV he absolutely had to watch, it
was hamburgers.

BTW, I caught 2 nice big red snappers and a strawberry grouper.
Beautiful day on the Gulf of Mexico. Fish were really biting. The boat,
however, was not very well run. There are two more snappers still alive
because this boat will not permit you to bring your own fish all the in.
You have to keep it int he water and wait for one of the 3 hands serving
35 people to come and take it off for you. This includes little ones
that you can't keep. The hand lost two of my fish for me. I'm not going
out on their boat again even though it goes to the place I prefer to
fish and the other boats don't.

LOL, poor baby... my heart goes out to you (given fish or hamburger, I
choose the burger). ;)

OMG, they sound fantastic. I was given a beautiful rockfish once that
stood my world on end - it was fantastic.


Wish I had those complaints. My grandparents owned a 60 foot
recreational fishing boat that they harbored in Ft. Lauderdale during
the winter and Atlantic City in the summer. We went down to Ft.
Lauderdale during Easter vacation to take in the sun and "deep" sea
fish, but I've still never visited Atlantic City.
