\"Curried<\/p>\n

Wednesday afternoon we were thinking of what to have for dinner, and My Dear Wife called me, having just left work, and she wanted something warm since it had been cooler temperatures in the past few days, so she suggested making some couscous. I said what a great idea, so I threw together this recipe with some of the ingredients we had on hand. Moreover, forty-five minutes later when she arrived home, dinner was already prepared and waiting, this dish took all of about 25 minutes to prepare from prep to finish.<\/p>\n

I found some really good and fresh shitake mushrooms at the farmers market on Saturday, and they added great flavor to this dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
