I couldn't wait to make this and it was amazing. I didn't have smoked almonds in the house but toasted pumpkin seeds worked really nicely.

Would you consider making the font size/photo/headlines just a wee bit smaller? Before, I used to be able to see more than 1 story before having to scroll down on the home page, whereas now each entry takes up almost my whole screen. As a past web designer myself, I was taught to give people more *before* they have to scroll/click to another page. I recently had this same problem with the re-design of another favorite site so I guess it's the "thing" now (Windows 7's new "puffy" layout anyone?), but please consider scaling everything down a smidge. It's like a large-print book.

Speaking of eggs and quinoa... I scrambled some eggs with tomatoes and onions the other day but added a bit too much salt. In order to offset the saltiness, I threw a few spoonfuls of cooked quinoa into the mix and cooked a few seconds more. It was really delicious and a nice twist on your omelet here as a quicker option.

One of my favorite dishes is a fennel-apple salad. Thinly slice 1 small bulb (or 1/2 large bulb) or fennel (save the fronds). Thinly slice 1 granny smith apple. MIx together with juice of 1/2 lemon (or more to taste) and enough good olive oil to moisten but not be oily. Salt and pepper to taste and finally mix in the chopped fronds. It's so refreshing in the summer.
