I'm a student pursuing a doctoral degree in late medieval history. My main interests include but are not limited to Latin, Italian, cultural theory, educational curriculum, historiography, cognitive processes, language-theory, gender relations and THE WESTERN CANON (mwahaha); i am not particularly interesting, avant-garde or risque; My main hobbies include the exciting activities of cooking, baking, going to the gym, eating green apple-caramel lollipops, restaurant reviewing and acting as child-like and sassy as possible. I keep these entries from the years of my life - no matter how i feel about them today - available because i find it useful to revisit events i now interpret differently. My name is heather, i'm of Montreal and i was born in the nefarious, ominous year 1984.

Couscous Salad


Ingredients
1 bouillon cube
1/2 cups couscous
1/2 cups boiling water
1 red pepper
3 green onions
1/2 cup green or black olives
1/2 cucumber
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
small handful of parsley finely chopped
Salt and pepper

Directions
1. In a saucepan with a lid, add bouillon cube (i suggest french herbs, but chicken, vegetable or beef will do) to boiling water. Stir. Add couscous and cook as per the directions on the couscous package (about 3 min. for instant).
2. Drain any remaining water from pan using the lid.
3. Cut vegetables into small pieces.
4. In a large bowl, toss couscous and vegetables. Drizzle oil and vinegar over top. Add salt generously and some pepper. Toss (using a bowl with a lid makes this much easier).
5. Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours to let flavours marinate.
