Here’s a super-easy recipe I made-up today. (BTW- it is Mike-tested, Massimo-approved.)
Mike’s Mini Egg-White Omelets
You’ll need: mini-muffin tin, 1.5 cups egg whites (I use the Stop & Shop egg whites), 3 strips of Morningstar Farms veggie bacon (I suppose you could use real stuff), 2 non-fat cheese singles, nonstick cooking spray.
What to do: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray non-stick cooking spray into the cups on the muffin tin, divide the bacon and cheese evenly into the cups - 1/4 strip bacon and 1/6th of the cheese piece in each tin. Top with 1 tablespoon of egg whites. You can also add a little peppers, onions or spinach if you want. Do that AFTER the egg. Each muffin cup should only be about 3/4 full.
Bake for around 8 minutes. The mini omelets should slide right out of the pan. I top mine with a little sea salt.
Using the ingredients above; each mini omelet has 17 calories/.5g fat/.5g fiber. 4 omelets = 1 WW point.
I am working out a recipe utilizing larger muffin cups- look for it soon. =)

If I wanna eat it- I gotta tweet it.
Starting tomorrow I will be logging everything I eat by tweeting a photo. Follow my new twitter feed @CDX2 to see what happens.
Hopefully the pressure will help me stay on track with my new routine of eating healthier. Or maybe it will just end up being a lot of food porn. Either way- we’ll see what happens!
Dear jerk in the red minivan; thanks for leaving me 8” of clearance to get into my truck this morning. Douche.

I really hadn’t planned on being this sweaty today.
Dear “guy in the office who poops 4 times a day”; First- bravo. Clearly you get the daily recommended allowance of fiber. Secondly- there are 4 stalls. Thanks for always picking the one right next to the urinals. Ugh.
Not the cheeriest morning- but magnificent clouds!

Does anyone have any Alaska Airlines miles they want to gift to me? Maybe we can work out a trade?

WTF!? $25 bill? Uhhhhhh? (Spotted at CVS on self-checkout machine.)
Every time I move to a new city I have the same issue: how do I find a new doctor? I have yet to find one good resource to help me narrow that search. Yes- there are lists, but I want reviews, credentials, etc. What am I missing? Do you have a resource for me?

The man in 119 takes his tea alone.
Mornings we all rise to wireless Verdi cries.
I’m hearing opera through the door.
The souls of men and women, impassioned all.
Their voices climb and fall; battle trumpets call.
I fill the bath and climb inside, singing.
He will not touch their pastry
but every day they bring him more.
Gold from the breakfast tray, I steal them all away
and then go and eat them on the shore.
I draw a jackal-headed woman in the sand,
sing of a lover’s fate sealed by jealous hate
then wash my hand in the sea.
With just three days more I’d have just about learned the entire score to Aida.
Holidays must end as you know.
All is memory taken home with me:
the opera, the stolen tea, the sand drawing, the verging sea, all years ago.

I’m thinking of getting a weekend job. I don’t really need the money- I just want to do something where I get to meet more people and not use my brain too much. Maybe I will volunteer at a Museum or something. Anyone in the area got some ideas?
