Even though there was a significant mistake in the directions at the time I made this, this is still what I consider to be not only extremely healthy fare, but also restaurant-quality. I also love that this satisfies everything I could want at dinner: protein, carbs, vegetable. The error: at the time I made this, the ingredients' list called for 2 1/4 cups water; it should read "2 1/4 cups water, divided"; use only 1 cup with the kale; the remaining 1 1/2 cups is used in the couscous cooking process. Made for my PAC Fall 2009 co-host!

<p>We may live without poetry, music and art;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
