Israeli Couscous with Beets, Garlic Scapes, and Orange


We just returned from a lovely week on Nantucket. I cannot say it was relaxing in the pre-baby sense, but it was a great adventure filled with lots of beach-lounging, quality time with one of our favorite couples, and plenty of food. The husbands decided the best way to celebrate our week on the island, and to put us all in the appropriate Summer Mood, would be to to choose two burgers from the Cheese and Burger Society and "bookend" our trip with burger-tastic meals. Grilling = Summer, so I couldn't have agreed with their idea more, but after chowing on two ridiculously huge burgers in six days, I'm beefed out. In case you're wondering, Night One's burger was The Gypsy (#9), and Night Six's burger was supposed to be The Casanova (#1), but the men ended up concocting a burger of their own after surveying what was left in the fridge from our week's stay.
