Hi, I was away some weeks and I see the Rants has become a bizarre mix of restaurants and some herobuilders. (No problem, I like this, especially the french fries ones.)

Both delicious and healthy

FRIED-EGG SUNDAE
INGREDIENTS:
Ice cream
Marshmallow fluff
Lemon pudding/pie filling (an instant mix works fine)
Scoop ice cream into a dish, then spoon on a generous blob of marshmallow fluff (it will smooth out and resemble an egg white as the air escapes).
For a yolk, add a rounded blob of lemon pudding. Makes one sundae.
Simply Delightful
Hummus-Couscous Loaf
Serves 4
15 minutes preparation time, 1 hour baking time
* 1 cup couscous
* 2 1/2 cups water
* 1/4 cup water
* about 1 teaspoon olive oil
* 1 small eggplant, cut into french-fry sized strips
* 2 carrots, chopped into very small pieces(minced)
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* freshly ground black pepper, to taste
* 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas
* 1 tablespoon sesame tahini paste
* Freshly squeezed lemon juice from 1/2 a lemon
* 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth, or 1 1/2 cups water mixed with 1 tablespoon vegetable broth seasoning
* 2 tablespoons egg replacer or potato starch
* 2 tablespoons wheat flour
* paprika, freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
In a saucepan, add the couscous and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Cook until all the water is gone, about 10 minutes. Then turn off the heat.
While the couscous is cooking, saute the vegetables. On a large saucepan, spray the olive oil on the pan or brush with a pastry brush. Add the water and heat over moderate heat until the water starts to simmer. Add the eggplant strips, carrots, garlic, salt and pepper. Saute until soft, adding a little more water if too dry. Then turn off the heat.
In a mixing bowl or blender, mix the chickpeas, tahini paste, lemon juice, and vegetable broth. Using a hand blender or blender, blend into a smooth paste. Then add the egg replacer or potato starch, and the flour. Blend until smooth.
With the heat turned off on the large saucepan, add the chickpea (hummus) mixture to the vegetables and coat well. Then add the couscous and mix the vegetable/hummus mixture into the couscous.
Lightly grease a glass bread loaf pan with olive oil. Add the couscous/vegetable/hummus mixture. Press into the loaf pan. Dust the top of the loaf with paprika and black pepper.
Bake 50-55 minutes. Let stand 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve in thick slices with a green vegetable such as cooked spinach, a salad such as lettuce topped with fresh orange slices, and if desired, a bread such as warm whole-wheat pita bread.
Hmm, hmm, good!
