I put some, precooked, into our camper freezer to go with spicy Moroccan
chicken for this trip. So far we've had 2 meals with it, 2 more
available but the freezer still has a lot in it and we're on the back
side. I used Israili couscous (a pearl shape, takes longer to cook)
because I didn't have any Moroccan (finer granulation) on hand. I do
now, but plan to use up the Israili first.


BC> A friend of mine made couscous from scratch.  He used a window bug
BC> screen to shape the grains of pasta.

Whatever works, as long as it's clean. (G)
