Just because you asked...

In case you're wondering... the mound beside the pork chop in the photo below is couscous with mushroom pieces. I simply spooned and pressed it into a round measuring  cup... 1/2 c for me... 3/4 c for Michael... and tada... it takes the presentation up a notch with almost no extra work!  I've used this technique in serving different foods to my granddaughters too and they just love it. Try it... it's fun and easy... and makes for "pretty food"!
