| Taboule |
I had a small dessert/tea party this past weekend for four girl(women) friends. Each person was asked to bring a small dessert or savoury item. One lady brought a tub of Lebanese Taboule salad which was delicious with some water crackers. I learned that it is quite easy to prepare couscous or bulgur, which is a grain. You simply add a cup of boiling water to a cup of the couscous, mix it in and let it cool. I found a recipe online and altered it as follows:
Taboule
2 bunches parsley finely chopped
1 onion finely chopped
4 large tomatoes finely chopped
3 lemons, juiced
5 tbs canola oil
1 c couscous (or bulgur or cracked wheat)
1 c boiled water
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
Directions
Bring water to boil, remove from heat, mix couscous in, and cool.
Mix in the remaining ingredients
8 to 10 servings, great with water crackers.
It was a fun party, I learned that 3 of us were quiet and 2 were the life of the party being quite chatty and more entertaining. It takes all types to make a world (and a successful party)! Would you tend be more chatty or quiet?
One friend can't be more than 52 and has discovered she has osteoarthritis which involves pain in her hip and knee. Another friend is 63 going on 53. Another lady's husband retired this past February at 60 and is adjusting well, he has volunteered for a big upcoming golf tournament.
My daughter L made these cake pops for my party. She says it was a very time consuming process that she did not enjoy. They were however, very delicious!
