Orthotic Sandals

 

I bought a pair of   Archie's orthotic sandals recommended by my physiotherapist.  I will wear them indoors for support, I had mentioned foot pain from an old injury to the arch of one of my feet.  They feel very supportive, with arch support, as I break them in.

Baked zucchini with red onions

 

I baked some zucchini with sliced red onions the other day.  It was unsalted but I added dried basil, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic and I did not miss the salt.  I decided to blend some with formula for Grandson C.

Ossobuco with herbed smashed potatoes

 

This Ossobuco was inspired by Angie.  I paired it with herbed mini smashed potatoes.  I decided to simmer the Ossobuco on the stovetop for 3 hours instead of  baking it in the oven and we used beef shanks instead of veal as that is what was available.  They were expensive, I had the impression shank was inexpensive. Two big pieces were about $40 Canadian.

Happy New Year 2026

 Welcome to 2026!

Christmas was a busy blur of activity.  We are blessed with good family and friends on both sides of the family. I must say our 7 month old grandson helps to bring everyone even closer together when it comes to celebrations.  The Christmas tree was so full of gifts underneath I struggled to keep track of who gave what and to whom. Of course I ate too much and that includes chocolates and fruit cake.  We have had a lot of snow thus far. My friend S thinks she will retire this year, it gets overwhelming sometimes at the office these days.

And I caught a cold likely from the Christmas gathering.
