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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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.

If I measure, I measure within the bag. Pour that into a jar and add herbs, oil, and hot water into the jar. Then serve from the jar.

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.
