This dinner kind of happened by accident when I came home tonight. I started with just the cous-cous, but then realized some veggies would be nice. When I had finished that, I envisioned an egg on top of the whole mess – and voila, a dynamite dinner.
Oh yeah, I put a spicy mustard + soy sauce mix over the top.
Not too shabby.
In the 3rd grade world…
I was listening to one of my students read aloud today when we came across the name “Al” – as in short for “Albert”. But when my student came to this name, he said “A.1.” – as in the steak sauce. I let it slide, and figured he was just hungry. But when he did it a 2nd time, I stopped him and said…
What is the character’s name?
He again replied, A.1.
I asked, Have you ever heard anyone called by that name in real life?
And he replied, Yeah, my neighbor’s name is A.1.
ahahahaha A.1! That is too funny!
That dinner looks dynamite, lol. Thanks for the A1 story, I laughed so hard. How do you put up with that?!
lol that is hilarious! what a cute kid
A.1…..priceless.
Yum, that looks fabulous! We are having quinoa for dinner tomorrow and I’m already planning on leftovers to eat with egg
I came across your blog through another one I follow and your meals look amazing. I love all your funny tidbits on your class.
kids say the darnest things…Personally, I rather my neighbor be Mrs.Butterworth, she smells better
Ahahahah I love your stories!
I love adding eggs to my dinners. Looks great!
that kid sounds so cute hehehe.
your dinner looks awesome, i was thinking of something similar for lunch today. an egg on top sounds perfect.
I would love to know the story behind that nickname
Oh, I’m pretty sure he was just making it up so he didn’t look silly. Funny kids.
Haha…A.1. What a cool name.
Your dinner looks delish!! I love “accidental dinners” that turn out amazing.
hahahahaha holy crud your kids are funny! and that mash of a dinner looks like a hit!
Don’t you love it when kid’s do that? I have been tutoring 3 elementary aged students for the past few months and one is really into lying… I just nod my head and say “really? amazing!” haha, i can just picture your face.
Isn’t it awesome how i consider myself a decent english tutor and i put an apostrophe after the “d” in kids? I blame the fact that i am starving and have nothing but apples and walnut-butter on my mind right now.
Your dinner looks great! I love when a bunch of random ingredients come together and make something amazing!
That bowl is so pretty.. and so is your dinner
I love when random foods in my kitchen turn into an awesome dinner! Happened to me the other night (kielbasa, potatoes, onions and peppers…awesome!) LOL @ A.1.!

That dinner in a bowl looks awesome!!! I’m quite curious to know if that is really his neighbors name lol, you never know today….. lol
WOW this looks so exotic <3 well that and that i think anything with couscous is exotic hehe. im making a recipe for project food blog today that uses couscous, i'll be thinking of you when i make it;)
this looks really yummy tho! i love the asian theme with an egg ontop <3
I feel like “put a fried egg on top” is one of the best back-up plans for any dish. It gives you the protein, a change in texture, and extra warmth.
Maybe the kid lives in an apartment complex and his neighbor goes by “A.1.” because he lives in apartment A-1! :p
Hahaha, that’s a good one! I’ll have to ask him.
