Although the temperature still dips below freezing overnight, there are many signs of Spring around. This morning M. and I saw (and heard) a long line of geese flying north and I saw my first robin in the pussywillow tree.
Our dinner menu features Steelhead Trout, my favourite fish. What goes well with fish? I like Herbed Corn and Couscous.
HERBED CORN AND COUSCOUS
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels (about 2 ears)
1 TBS butter, melted in
3/4 cup chicken broth
Bring to a boil.
Add:
1/2 cup couscous
2 TBS minced fresh chives.
Turn off heat and let stand, covered for about 5 minutes.
Well, today fresh chives are available, peeking out from under the snow and old, dried shoots. I managed to cut a small handful, washed them and used a long tweezers to separate the chives from the "chaff".
It's even nice enough to hang out the wash, even though there is still a small pile of snow on the cement slab under the clothesline. AAAAH! Love the smell of sheets hung out to dry! (They're still in the basket at this point.)
Just love the looks of laundry on the line and the fresh smell of sheets that have dried outside.
