The tuna was delicious even though I overcooked it.  I have issues with fish and S was too tired for me to bug him with it.  It wasn’t dry, just not the way I should have cooked that piece of fish.  It looks pretty, though, doesn’t it?

 

I’m stretching my boundaries with my cooking lately.  This weekend…

 

I COOKED WITH DUCK!  Imagine that!  DUCK!

 

I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve eaten duck.  I’ve eaten it and like it twice.  Yes.  Twice.  All the other times, ick!  *herck*  Get it away from me I don’t want that foul stuff near me.  Yes.  Pun intended.

But this isn’t duck.  This is delicious Hatch Chili and Heirloom Tomato Couscous Salad.  See all those colors?  Doesn’t it just look so purdy?  Grab a fork and dig int!

 

The heirloom cherries are from the open air market near work.  Honestly, she has the best produce and her tomatoes are HEAVELY!  Sweet, juicy, perfectly ripe!  YUM!  This salad just wouldn’t be the same with and plastic store-bought varieties.

Just imagine a delicious avocado salsa and then add some hearty couscous.  That’s this salad to a T!  The sweet tomatoes, tangy lime, creamy avocado, spice jalapeno, and crisp onions all come together and make your mouth sing!  Even if you don’t make this for a #meatless dinner, make sure to at least try it for an simple and scrumptious side dish!
