… Couscous, pomegranate & Harissa
Tonight it felt like the project was back on track. I don’t really know why. I was cooking for someone new. I was cooking one of the meals I’ve wanted to cook since the start of the project. What ever it was, it felt good.
An added bonus to this project is that I think that maybe if my career dies I may be able to become a fishmonger. There are quite a few fish recipes in this book. More than any other type of meal. Which is good. I know I don’t really eat enough fish and I’m still a bit nervous about cooking it! Not all of it, just some of it. Anyway … Often the fish recipes calls for fish prepared in a certain way. A certain way that often turns put not to be the way it’s sold to me. Or, on some occasions ,not the way the fishmonger can be bothered to prepare the fish when requested by the poor person I have asked to buy the fish for me. All that to say … I am now getting OK at preparing fish. I de-headed, de-tailed, and removed the left over scales from the Bream in just a few minutes tonight, and so they were ready in the form required by the recipe.
This is genuinely one of those meals where there is nothing, but also everything, to report. Nothing, in that it was done on time with no issues. None at all, it was really stress free. But everything, in that this was one of the good ones. One of the really good ones. It was fun too cook too. Great to eat. Lots of food. But still felt healthy. What more can I say. Nothing … other than it was a pleasure to cook for some one new … Tam.
