Well, son K is more than halfway through his field placement, it is going very well, and quickly. He is on track to graduate with a college diploma next year. He missed the October graduation and the next date is July 2016. The next step will be to find a decent full time job, but one thing at a time. That is a challenge many kids face after graduation.
I made some dishes with the healthy grain couscous. It's too bad I'm the only one that wants to eat it.
I had some leftover couscous so I tossed it into a soup I was making and noone was the wiser.

Glad your son is doing well That couscous look great, wish I lived nearer, I would help you eat it! Hugs, Valerie
I've only had cous cous once. It can't have been that great or I'd have had it again. I remember it being kind of like rice. Good luck to your son, both with his graduation and getting a job. It's tough but with some parental support he'll be fine.
Finding a job can be challenging indeed. Best wishes!
your dishes look very yummy!! It isn't popular here either in my family except me lol, good for your son,, I hope all goes right as planned!!!
That is great news about your son. I hope everything continues to go well for him. I like your idea about tossing the couscous in a soup. I do that often with healthy foods that the rest of the family won't eat. Sneaky but successful! :)
Good luck to your son. I wish him the very best.
I am not fond of couscous but maybe it's the way I made it long ago.
I can't imagine your family turning up their noses at the couscous. I've never met a grain I didn't like :-)
That's the deal, isn't it? Getting them employed! Mine are, although the actor is thinking about a change.
The son at StatCan I have seen in 18 mos, but we do clash! :-)
Hubby cannot stand couscous, sadly. His 2-wk cleansing was difficult!!!
I don't know if I've ever even tried couscous...that looks yummy, though! Yes, finding a job after graduation seems to always be tough. I graduated in 1992 and there was an employment crisis back then, too. My summer internship helped me land my first job, but I had to do the internship for free all summer, which sucked.
I'm not a big fan of couscous but it does add an interesting texture to other types of foods. I've used it with my Morrocan Stew and that was good. I like the black variety for a nice contrast of color.
Have a great weekend, G
I'm glad to hear that your son is doing well. I'm not sure if I've tried couscous, but what you're doing with it looks delicious!
I hear back in the day, a job was waiting for everyone (or almost) getting out of college. Now that college has become a reality for a lot more people, the employers can be picky. I just feel bad for those who majored in debt.
Though I knew people who degrees in creative writing. What were they thinking?
Great to see your food and that you're playing. Love that.
I buy instant couscous pots for my lunch time at work. Pretty tasty filling and convenient. I buy the Food Doctor ones so hope they aren't too full of additives.
Glad your son is doing well.
