I don't know about Trader Joe's (seems like you're hooked on them since they
are in your area now, eh?) But couscous comes in different "flavors". I
like the garlic couscous, myself. I'm thinking of preparing couscous as a
side for some stewed lamb shanks on Sunday, along with steamed broccoli.
Couscous ain't a bad thing! It's either couscous or barley pilaf... hmmm,
barley goes with lamb, but then when I make Scotch Broth with the shank
bones that will require barley so maybe I'd be barley'd out. (Musing aloud,
here.) Yeah, I'll go with the couscous on Sunday!
