Dinner from a box

We drove to the Washington DC area tonight where Darlene has a craft show this weekend. We were in a bit of a hurry to leave and we didn't have much in the fridge so we pulled a box of couscous out of the pantry, cooked it in the microwave and added some toasted pine nuts and that was dinner. I think it was Near East brand and whenever we find these boxes on sale we stock up because it makes a good quick meal or snack. We try to cook from scratch with fresh ingredients as much as we can, but sometimes we do resort to just opening a box.

The great thing about coming to the DC area is the abundance of veg-friendly restaurants. Earlier today I was checking out VegDC.com trying to decide where to eat while we're here. I'll let you know what we find.
