Eating With Your Hands

I thank you all for being patient with me as I go 10 days without posting and then put up about 4 different entries.

I wanted to write one last night, but decided I wanted to sleep more. I wanted to let all of you know, that I have mastered eating cous cous with my hand- and it was my first time. Mom, I know what you're thinking, that I probably got it ALL OVER ME, but you'd be so wrong. Okay, a little wrong. But I did it. My Grandma and Aunt gave me a cautious stare when I ignored the spoon and dipped my hand into the dish, but I did it. I rolled that cous cous in my hand like a champ, and even added some vegetables in it.

The best part was at the end, with my hand covered in cous cous, I was trying to wipe it off, and I look at my Aunt and she just does the motion of licking her hand. And I just blurt out "REALLY??!?!?!!!??" and she just nods her head, so I decided to dive in. Go big or go home.

So though I rather of had a nice slice of sicilian from Bella Gusto, a cous cous covered hand had to do. And it was... satisfying. At least the accomplishment of it was.
