Weekend Sillies and BBQ Party

This weekend is Karen Gowen’s Labor Day Weekend BBQ Blogfest.

I’m starting with an easy recipe, followed by LOL Cats and food.

Sometimes the best dishes are by accident. This one is a result of not having the right ingredients and compromising. (I do that a lot!)

Cous Cous Medley

Cook one cup couscous - best to find a box of “add to boiling water and wait 5 minutes” - and add one bouillon cube to the water 

Saute one medium onion in a pan with a little oil, salt, and pepper 

Add 1/2 cup peas and 1/2 cup corn to mix and heat through 

Remove from heat, add 2 Tbsp soy sauce 

Add cooked couscous and serve!

Couscous is delicious and healthy, I like your recipe, really I should try this more often. And I've always wondered-- do you have a real cat?

L. Diane Wolfe said...

Karen, I have two black cats named Rocko & Spunky and before that we had Calvin & Hobbes.

Love Gulliver! Almost ruined my keyboard.

I do the compromise thing a lot, too.

Happy Weekend!

No need to give me recipes, no sane cat would eat my products anyway, but thank you for an ENTERTAINING post about food :D

Ha! Love the kitties!
And the cous cous recipe sounds perfect for a bbq!

I love the home cooking one.

Jemi Fraser said...

Strangely we ended up with a similar cous cous dish the other night too - only thing missing was the soya sauce :)

Love Gulliver :)

Enid Wilson said...

LOL, I like "Even the Kitty doesn't like your cooking. Good to show this to your best enemy.

L. Diane Wolfe said...

Jemi, the soy sauce really makes the difference.

Hi Diand! I've come from Karen's BBQ! Wanted to stop by, say hello and visit your blog! I was adopted by a litter of kittens this year. It's been so fun! They are living on my back porch. Great to meet you!

Recipe sounds yummy. I'm always substituting ingredients, so no dish ever turns out the same way twice. Great cat pics!

Funny! Liked how you followed the cooking theme. But that poor Gulliver--he's a candidate for The Biggest Loser!

Ella said...

I love the kitty cooking theme; great pics! ;D

All these are funny, But in reality, Gulliver's weight is alarming. Time for the owner to buy a kittie treadmill.
