Cous Cous
Rian had raw tuna and cous cous for dinner last night. Over the churning river, the falls spreading far below into white foam.
Raw tuna in a curry sauce. Champagne before and after and creme brulee for dessert.
The tuna was quite wonderful, the cous cous heaven. And the creme brulee worth any punishment after.
Rian commited a Cardinal Sin and stole two forkfuls of garlic mashed potatoes from Someone Else's plate.
There was a man, two tables down, reading the paper and ignoring his date. I wondered what sort of creature could dismiss company and the beauty of the river for black and white opinions. And then I wondered what he might be reading that so absorbed.

Mmmmmmm.....garlic mashed potatoes. Good thing you were with Someone Else; I'dve stabbed you with your own fork. Garlic mashed are not to be trifled with.
Sports scores! Surely not! Baseball has not yet even twitched Rian's attention. Too early.
Mater, Mater. The rule of garlic potatoes is 'Eat or Lose Out'.
Well, if Someone wasn't eating their garlic potatoes, then clearly Someone deserved to lose them. I stand corrected.
The saying goes 'Have you ever been stabbed in four places at once?' Food stealing is a heinous crime.
