LOL, birdcage grit is a pretty good description.

WW couscous is the only kind of whole wheat pasta I like; I don't know why
that is. I haven't had much luck in making a hot couscous dish that I like
(though I'd like to try Joseph's concoction). But in the summertime, I love
to make couscous salad. I cook the couscous (using chicken broth and a
squeeze of lemon for the juice), then turn it out onto a huge platter and
spread it out to cool. Then I mix it with an olive oil/lemon juice/lotsa
fresh garlic/S&P dressing, a ton of confetti-chopped veggies (whatever's
good...zucchini, carrots, red onion, red pepper, broccoli...no beets
though!), and a LOT of chopped fresh basil. Really good stuff!
