Miss look what I invented!! I'll never need to sit a shitty spelling test again.
Tonight, I'm going to cagily put it out there that I've invented something new and food related. I was starving and there was fuck all food in the house. This was because two weeks ago I impulse bought a pair of expensive headphones. I knew that before payday I'd be a famished skeletal wreck, but on the plus side I'd tripping out on hunger hallucinations for free and listening to Brian Eno MP3s in crystal clarity. So here it is, ahem, drumroll please... egg-fried couscous. Lighter than egg-fried rice, more exotic than an omelette and easier to make than a poop after a night in Whelans. Now it wasn't just couscous and egg. I also found a shallot, some chilli and a clove of garlic, and piles of salt and pepper. Like the ice-cream float, the rest was history. I'm dead proud of myself. Please don't tell me its already invented. 'Cos to do that would be to punch my inner 7 year old in the head. So yeah, if you're gonna tell me egg-fried couscous has already been invented, congrats, you just punched a kid in the face.
Since getting the new headphones I've been listening to really expansive noisy stuff. Its amazing how new it all sounds, and hermetically sealed too; none of the nasty outside world leaking in. The downside is that I've been bumping into things and walking out in front of buses. Here's something insanely expansive and noisy from a band that once drove a JCB through a stage.

Necessity-the mother of egg fried couscous
Tweet
In one of the more deluded episodes of my young life, I once convinced myself I invented the coke float. I was about senior infants age, and tucking into an ice-cream after the usual glorious feed of shite our parents let us eat after the Friday visit to Navan shopping centre. Giddy and high as a kite on nutrition free junk, I went mad and tipped a load of Cadet cola into my ice cream. The rest was fizzy, creamy history, until Monday morning anyway. My teacher burst my balloon in humiliating fashion by telling me to shut my excited trap and informing the whole class that the super new dessert I wouldn't shut up about had already been invented. Tough news. At that stage, I was seriously planning to market the stuff in containers with a photo of my grinning face on the front. I coulda been someone, I coulda been a contender.

Sounds as brutal as that slop you made me last Summer. You're no Heston Blumental! Stop giving your readers the impression you eat shite coz yer a fantastic cook :) x
They are selling that muck out of a Hiace at the Ballinasloe fair every year, so nah, you didnt invent it.
What are them headphones ya got? Those noise-cancelling sennheisers are a proper disaster if you're on a bike. Taxi drivers can pick them out from a thousand yards and then time their attempted murder at the traffic lights to perfection, safe in the knowledge you never heard a damn thing..
They sell that in Supermacs man.
hahahaha! Do they really Karl? Last time i was in Supermacs was 1997 in Loughrea Co.Galway and all you could get was Chips, Chicken and Knickerbocker Glories!!!!
adam-they're not that special, JVC yokes HA-S700.
Storkboy and Karl thanks for ruining another dream.
Ventricle, I suppose someone who eats my grub as much as you do would have to say I'm a fantastic cook, or else starve ;)
Egg Fried Couscous - that sounds really gross. Sorry! But sometimes things that sound wrong taste yummy - for example an apple cut in halve with the seeds taken out and a big dollop of peanut butter put right in the middle of apple. Yummy!
Or peanut butter and vanilla ice cream. Or peanut butter and jam on toast.
Ok I like peanut butter and will eat it with anything.
Aoife but all those things you describe sound class!!!
After scouting the kitchen for slmthing to eat I decided to make some cous cous with a lamb stock cube then stir in an egg... and some chopped up, cooked sauage.. YUM. I decided to google egg fried cous cous to see if anyone else thought of it.. obviously I'm not the first :)
And strangely I once fell asleep on the compost heap after arriving home one night pissed and being unable to get in the house.. I woke up wet in the morning, covered in dirt. :/
i also just googled egg fried couscous to see if i was cullinary genious inventor. was starved after a run and wanted simulatneous carbs and protien immediately. presto i invent eggfried couscous... only... not.
Hello!
After a hard day at work buggin music tech suppliers for drunkits and all things musical, I am starved an want something to eat! Only got cous cous an 1egg so I googled egg fried cous cous,not to see if I'm a genius inventor but to see if it works or whether it's going to be another epic culnery fail on my part. Anyway I'm glad I found your blog because now I'm going to try it!might throw a yellow pepper in for good measure! Thank you for writing about this.
From a fellow all things music technical lover :-D
