It has been too long since I've had cous cous. I invited Erin over for a North African feast since she wasn't present for my last one. We had chicken and apricot tajine and vegetables over cous cous; we also had harrira soup. (Believe it or not, I actually miss the instant version of the harrira. Less to prepare!)
Below, Erin jumped right in using the traditional method of scooping without a spoon and using her fingers and bread instead. Notice the Fes hat; she refused to eat without it. She wanted to wear it afterwards when we tried to walk three miles to burn off some of the calories from dinner, but I told her I wouldn't walk with her if she did.
Jay enjoyed his portion of harrira. He became a member of Connie's "Clean Plate Club."
