Shoulder Update

 I had my checkup with the surgeon this week and got the all clear, my shoulder was completely healed after 8 weeks and she doesn't need to see me anymore!  My shoulder only has a  minimal displacement.  I will continue with physiotherapy with no restrictions at least until the end of the month.  

It was a good news day, husband M and I celebrated with brunch at a restaurant near the hospital.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Bewitched Theme

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  The theme is Bewitched this week.  Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil with the stars in acrylic.

For the Dinner Date I roasted some broccoli with onions.  I realized I like the onions sliced lengthwise as pictured. We then eat them as an extra vegetable, so flavourful.

Ingredients:

2 crowns of broccoli cut into smaller even sized pieces including the stems.

2 onions sliced lengthwise

2-3 cloves of garlic minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2-3 tbs lemon juice

1/2 tsp dried herb such as tarragon

3-4 tbs olive oil 

Mix all ingredients together on a sheet lined with parchment paper.

Preheat oven to 400F.  Bake for 20 minutes.

Bone Marrow and a fake post

I had a post on Sunday about seal platforms in Norway, which turned out to be false. I did not fact check sorry. Thanks to Kay for notifying me.

 

Grandson C started eating solids earlier this month having got the ok from the family doctor.  He was able to sit up in the feeder chair and had good head control.  It was a success!

Daughter L did some research and decided bone marrow was a great food to start with, full of nutrients and iron.  She baked the bone marrow for 40 minutes then removing the marrow and juices, then she blended it is pictured.  Grandson C loved it. My daughter is a foodie so he has been watching her eat and no doubt couldn't wait to get a turn!  She has stored the marrow into food sized portions for about a month.

Daughter L then boiled the bones for 2 hours and ended up with homemade beef stock which she strained and stored.

I heard that liver is next.

The lost cat

 Earlier this month our neighbour across the street knocked on our door one night.  Their inside cat had gone missing and they were so worried.  He must have been able to get outside somehow. The neighbour asked if he could check our back yard, so husband M took him there to no avail.  The next morning he came to ask again if we had seen anything.  I feel their pain although I am not a cat owner, it is like a family member.  After about 20 years, we exchanged contact info.  That must be a good thing.

They posted the missing cat Tako on the neighbourhood website, I posted his photo here.

In a bit of good news Taco was found about a week later in a neighbour's back yard.  It had started to get colder so it was a happy day.  The neighbours brought us this card and chocolates to thank us for our help.  We didn't do much but it was nice of them.

Unfortunately this is false, thanks to Kay for checking! I have to remember to fact check these 'gems'.
