  whomp of grain in a goddamn bowl or, loser tabouli tabouli was on sale last week! you like it, so you bought a box of mix. now you'd like to enjoy it. here's how: pour the bag of stuff inside the box into a bowl. forget that you have a clean, appropriately sized bowl in the dishwasher and use the way too big one.
add however much water they want you to. add 1 tablespoon of olive oil rather than the recommended 2 tablespoons. your ass isn't getting any smaller, bessie. lucky you! grape tomatoes were also on sale and you got a humdinger of a boxful. cut them lengthwise and toss them in until it looks like as many as you'd want in your snack. stir it around.
cover it with saran wrap and put it in the refrigerator. the box says it will be ready in an hour but i have found the box to be a lying, thieving ne'er-do-well. i'd give it a couple hours. when you are ready to eat it, stir it around some more. transition some portion to a smaller bowl for an individual serving if that is the sort of thing you prefer.
