oatmeal and peanut butter

@ Lutra and CBC - I have to shake my head when I read recipes that say to make a "rue." 

Lutra, when you make your roux, do you brown the flour first and then add the oil?  It makes a nuttier taste.  Local cooks here say that it should take all day to brown the flour becaus the fire should be so low.  Actually, I suppose you don't use a brown roux, although it's almost the norm here.

That browning gives couscous a nuttier taste too. and, then indeed, the lower the fire, and the better the patience, the tastier the couscous.

Like Lutra, I use butter for a roux. How could I do it otherwise, being a bovine.  :hyke:

For dinner I ate some leftovers (wok dish I freshly made yesterday). Went for some groceries after that and ate an homemade shrimp cocktail (on iceberg lettuce) on toast and some smoked mackerel on toast also.

Chicken. More chicken...the majority of a tube of Pringles. Then a sandwich. And then cheese fries, and then chocolate and then just under half of a 12" pizza.

Some of you may already know me as Suedehead.

P.S. I am female.
