Jacob was watching Everyday Food over the weekend and decided to tackle a simple dish. It was a mixture of Isreali couscous, mushrooms and onion sauteed in olive oil, and dried cranberries. A generous sprinkle of black pepper and sea salt was added table-side (but not on Matilda's portion). It was delicious, filling and pretty.

Dishes like that that make me think I can do this vegetarian thing. I'm constantly amazed by the amount of vegetarian possibilities, and how tasty the concoctions can be. The only problem is getting the energy up to actually cook...

Thanks for cooking, Jacob! We'd be eating frozen pizza 7 nights a week without your culinary skills.
