Every few days, MR has to get rid of stems because he creates so many in the preparation of our breakfast salad. Last night I created a dish that disposed of all available stems. I chopped the kale and simmered it in a cup of vegetable broth (Rapunzel Organic brand), then I added the arugula stems, followed by 1 cup eggwhites dissolved in 1 cup veggie broth, stir stir stir to prevent the eggwhites from totally congealing. Added a few dashes of my funky shaker of mixed spices like lemon, lime and cilantro, and added tons of fresh lemon juice (not from concentrate.) He seemed to like it, and now we are without stems.

Sunday night I made a very simple scallop dish that turned out fabulous. I simmered 200 g sea scallops in 3 oz red wine (that cooks down to 30 calories) and minced garlic, then I added 100 g diced tomatoes and at the end I added 4 g fresh basil leaves and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Simmered for about half an hour, and served with zucchini and asparagus on the side topped with olive and flax oils and juice of fresh lemon. We ate outside on our deck, which was beautiful.

I've been serving side dishes of blueberries with hazelnuts and/or hazelnut oil as little dessert while the blueberries are fresh and relatively cheap.
For lunch yesterday I got to enjoy an MR breakfast salad that he packed for me in the morning. Today I'll be going out to lunch since it's my birthday, and tonight, MR is making me my favorite: MR's CR'd Zone Low Carb Tortilla Pizzas!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY APRIL!!!! May you have thousands upon thousands more, each one better and better, until eventually it's too ridiculous and meaningless to even bother with keeping track of how many birthdays you've had, sort of like the way nobody keeps track of how many days old they are now.

Happy birthday April, thank you for always remembering your bloggie friends and showering us with great posts and recipes--we are here even if at times we are silent.
All the best,
Suzy.

Happiest of Birthdays to You! Though you should think of yourself as one year farther along in your life story, rather than one year older. That's how I see birthdays for myself now.

Hi April,
I'm confused by all these high security code names for MR's family, but I'd like to join FTed & DRLP/SG (whoever they are) in wishing you a happy birthday :)
Also, even though it's 2005, I'm hoping one of your gifts is...electricity.

Many happy returns of the day! (Many many many many many....)
