The Eagle

This is something to think about!

Since America is typically represented by an eagle.
Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...

The following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible)

Quran (9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia
would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The
wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands
of Allah and lo, while some of the
people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for
the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the
lands of Allah; and there was peace.

(Note the verse number!!!!!)

If a story sounds like too tidy of a coincidence, that should
set the alarm bells off. Double alarm bells if it's circulated via
the Internet. :P

ObFood: Had some great couscous at a Senegalese restaurant, which
finally prompted me to try some at home. We'd had a small bag of it
for ages that I hadn't gotten around to trying, so... Cooked it with
chicken broth and some chopped scallions, salt and pepper to taste.
Incredible! I could see this as future comfort food all by itself,
as well as a nice side dish. Oh, this was the small-grained kind,
not the pearl couscous, FYI... Not many stores seem to carry couscous
in bulk, it's mostly box mixes. Oh, well.

I adore couscous! In addition to what you did, I like to add a couple of
cloves of chopped garlic to it. Yum!

Cous Cous also makes a lovely breakfast cereal.

When I make couscous, I heat up some olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed
pot and toss in some chopped garlic, onion, a bit of dried chilli pepper,
and cumin, then stir in some coucous and chopped dried apricot and add hot
chicken broth. Then I take it off the burner, slap the top on the pot and
let it sit for a few minutes.

Sounds wonderful! I'll definitely be experimenting with it more
in the future, and I'll keep this in mind, thanks.
