Omega
Ariel asks about Omega 3's and 6's from a CR point of view. My understanding is that we want them in balance: that's why I eat two teaspoons of flax oil a day, one with dinner and one with breakfast. I also eat almonds and hazelnuts instead of nuts like walnuts and peanuts because of omega issues.
Another busy day, though I finally got some sleep last night thanks to Luke taking the morning shift at work. I ate a megamuffin for breakfast, a salad at the Ruby Tuesday's while meeting with Edward for lunch, and my lunch salad for dinner with Walden Farms calorie-free French dressing. Now I am drinking a lovely glass of French white wine and taking a break between work calls and more work calls. My job never slows down, it seems.
At least this weekend I should be able to cook some for my angel. Friday night I have a party with some of the lab techs from the hospital we just organized (more on that soon...) but Saturday night I should be able to be home and make a wonderful dinner for L'Orange. I love it when we can have a quiet evening at home to enjoy our food and the pleasure of each other's company. While it's great that he understands and is supportive of my work, there comes a point when both of us just want to spend some uninterrupted time together being in love.
Meanwhile, I need to make some finger foods for my lab tech party. Suggestions?

My absolute favorite low-cal finger foods are summer rolls. They are a little labor intensive, but worth the effort and great this time of year. Take any recipe you can find for summer rolls and cut the calories down even further by just nixing the rice or rice noodles and using more greens. Yum!
Here are some ideas for recipes:

You are already crazy enough so you wouldn't have any problem making my crazy mom's stuffed grape leaves... You take a grape leave, cut
it in half, fill it with a rice, raisin, cinnamon, dill filling and cook it in oven, then adding the olive oil. Mom makes them the length and thickness of a pinky. There, finger food. But I told you, she is crazy.
