Grilled Salmon and Butternut Squash Couscous


Sunday March 17
Lisa and John have been treating us like royalty, or this morning, like Busboys and Poets, the name of the place we had brunch. 
For dinner, John took a side of wild-caught sockeye salmon and grilled it out on the patio, which took some fortitude, since despite daffodils being in bud, the temperature here in the South is just about freezing.
In the meantime, Lisa whomped up a delicious butternut squash and cumin couscous, while we drank an interesting Belgian framboise alembic, and then a pinot grigio.
We also helped her make a glorious apple tart with almond custard; John had rolled the extra crust-cuttings up and baked them into kind of ruggelach, which made an ideal before-dinner snack.  The tart itself made a luscious dessert, with a glass of Lake Erie port.
