I'm getting really excited, guys. The temperatures are no longer 100 each day. Slowly, it is getting just a little bit cooler out. The kids in our town went back to school today. Do you know what that means? Fall is coming!! Fall is my favorite time of year - cardigans, hot cider, pumpkins, and cardigans! Camping, and corn mazes, and cardigans! Um, I kind of like cardigans. It's not quite time for cardigans yet, but its sooo close, so close! 

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this dish! The pork chops are simple yet tasty, but the real star here was the couscous. Oh man, the couscous. I think I ate not only a second helping of this, but a third! And then Joel and I fought over what was left of it and I ate even more. Haha. Yes, its good.
