So cool that you guys got a jet ski. Sorry you got stuck twice though. <br /><br />Your plum sauce sounds amazing. Love that you tried it with different kinds of meat. The presentations and photos are beautiful, Tanantha! You've sure turned a "have no clue what to do" recipe into a keeper recipe. Way to go, my dear! Keep up the great cooking.LeQuanhttp://www.luvtoeat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352799973247981744.post-89556299115083682172011-08-03T19:49:32.075-07:002011-08-03T19:49:32.075-07:00the couscous is awesome, but I am loving the plum ...the couscous is awesome, but I am loving the plum sauce..oh I can think of so many great dishes to use this fab sauce!!bonnie at sweet lifehttp://sweetlifebake.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352799973247981744.post-40089959651340440982011-08-02T14:30:54.433-07:002011-08-02T14:30:54.433-07:00Have to admit that I got a bit stressed thinking a...Have to admit that I got a bit stressed thinking about this challenge too, though it somehow came together in the end!
