Gives it a little extra something, requires no additional effort.

I usually enjoy Bittman's columns. I ate couscous and black beans a bunch when I was in Switzerland since I didn't have any cookbooks with me, had limited equipment, and recognized the way they were packaged at the grocery store. Both are good for something quick that can be changed around depending on what you add...I should get back to keeping them on hand!
