A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Couscous gets everywhere, no matter how hard you try to keep it contained.

You... Serve... Couscous from a jar?

And on another note, you cook/buy/store cooked couscous in a bag?

I buy uncooked couscous in a bag. I add raw couscous to a jar, and cook it in the jar. And then serve it from the jar.

Like, a tall glass jar?

It depends how much I am making. A pint or a quart. I typically only make one or two servings at a time. I mostly eat it on salad, or with cucumbers and tomatoes.

It cooks quickly, so I only add very hot or boiling water (if I am using boiling water, I ensure the jar is preheated to avoid cracking) to the jar and let the residual heat cook it.
