Hi Dave,

 DD> Couscous is *not* a grain. It's pasta. To wit: Couscous is a type of
 DD> pasta made from durum wheat semolina, or a popular North African

True, I had turned off the brain for a moment there.

 DD> Orzo is the next size up and oftern substituted for rice. Followed
 by DD> rosmarina which are larger but still rice-shaped.

I've got whole wheat orzo in the pantry as well. No rosamarina but do
have some small (white) pasta that I got at Olindo's (the Italian store
we go to in Rochester, NY) that I intend to use for pasta fagole. (know
that's not spelled right) I have adapted my mother in law's recipe that
uses tomato soup and canned pork and beans to use tomato sauce and
canneli beans instead.
