Couscous

Well, the other day I tried fixing couscous differently than my usual Tomato-Pea-Couscous Salad. Thought I'd go with the fruit approach, so I chopped a couple apples and got out some raisins and cinnamon. Hmmm, what to use for the liquid? Decided on apple cinnamon herbal tea. The stuff turned out okay, but lacked oomph. I think it would have been great if made with cider instead. And I think it would have been better if I'd added the apples the same time I added the couscous, instead of cooking them a bit.
