Although, if you decide to stay home (I understand some of you are snowed in...) you can make this feast yourself!
Just get a nice pork loin roast, some fresh basil (rip it into pieces and put it on top of the meat) a bit of salt, and a drizzle (like seriously a drizzle) of olive oil...cover in foil...and cook in an oven heated to 350 degrees for about, um, I dunno, not long - like 30-40 minutes?
Pork cooks super fast! While that's cooking, start your orange almond couscous (whole grain couscous!)...whatever the cooking directions are - use half the water and use orange juice for the rest...add small handfulls of slivered almonds, rains, chopped dried apricots (sans preservatives - they look really brown!) and boil....then add the couscous and POOF (it really does go POOF)...fluff with a fork and enjoy....
p.s. I know this isn't necessarily a balanced meal because there's no greens on my plate - but I had a MAJOR hankering for corn, and since this was my Thansgiving meal, I felt I could have whatever the heck I wanted! :)
