Couscous


We seem to be having food issues on many levels at our house.
I am not sure what is going on between Billy (our yard guy) and Nedege (our house girl), but it is very clear that they are having a food war.
Here is what I know.
Billy is the keeper of the food bag and dishes sent over every day from Evos because he gets the gate all day, every day. This gives him first dibs on the food. Nedege has her own set of food dishes for our house. Out of all the employees she has different food dishes since she is the newest employee. Billy, as the big chief, has taken it upon himself to inspect all of the food that comes here for all the workers to make sure he gets the most food, maybe because he is a guy and needs more? Don't really know. He can't however just switch bowls with Nedege because, you guessed it, she has different dishes.
Billy's Solution: Take a few spoonfuls, while she is watching, out of her bowl so he gets more food. Nedege may be smaller, but let me just say this will not allow Billy to win this one. I don't know how she will get back at him but I promise you she will.

Now the the next food issue.
Couscous! It is a real food that I made for dinner since our rice had bugs in it. I considered just making the rice because I would have technically killed the bugs and they wouldn't hurt any one. We keep our rice in a Tupperware so these kinds of things won't happen, but if you buy the rice and it has bugs in it before you put it in the Tupperware you still get bugs in your rice.
Sheila's Solution: Couscous. Just like Billy, I didn't win this one either. After a few choking motions and large gulps of iced tea Dan and Parker got up from the table and went to have Haitian spaghetti at Visa Lodge with Cindy (an adoptive mom here from CA). I have been sick for the past few days so I was thinking it was a great idea to have couscous with stir fry. I guess not!
