against you but prefers to not be picked up. Siisu could stand to lose a couple of pounds - did I mention he loves his food??!! Siisu is a 14 year old male orange tabby.

Miss Fancy Pants - Miss Fancy Pants is a playful cat who is full of energy. She can be a little bit squiggly when being held but only because she has things to do and no time to waste! Fancy has been with the Humane Society for a while now and is ever so ready

to go to a forever home. She has a wonderful personality and would be a great addition to your home. Miss fancy Pants is a 2.5 year old, female tabby and white beauty.

Tom - Tom is a lovely cat who is quiet and independent. Tom was once an outdoor cat so he may need a family who will be careful when opening the door. He's a big boy who is hoping to get some room to roam soon! Come to Pet Valu and meet this handsome fellow. Tom is a 2.5 year old male tabby.

Marley - Marley was abandoned at the shelter with a scar on her nose and was very timid. She has come along way since then! Marley likes to rub up against you and is very curious. The scar on her nose is completely healed and she is absolutely stunning! Marley is 1.5 years old with long grey hair.

Mynk - Mynx came to the shelter, along with her �ve siblings, as fairly young kittens. She's a playful kitten but is a bit depressed since she got separated from her family. Four of her brothers and sisters have been adopted, and her brother, Jinx is in a separate cage because they are now too old to be kept together. She is a

very sweet girl who needs some cuddles. She still has a lot of kitten energy and loves running around when she is in the playroom. Mynx is an 8 month old black female with a bit of white on her chest.

Boots - Mr. Boots is one gorgeous fellow. When he arrived at the shelter, he was in pretty rough shape. He has recovered from his injuries and would love a new

Paper CutsApril Flowers

We had just finished a game of Junior Monopoly when I asked Callum if he knew what the term,

“being a good sport” means. He said, “Yes. It’s when you support someone.” I suspect he related the thought to the hockey game he and his team had played that morning. His understanding is that being a good sport – rather, being supportive – is not about money. It seldom is to a 6 year old. Within every moment of every day, we’re presented with opportunities to be good sports. Show support to family, a friend, teammates, or someone you haven’t met. April is Daffodil Month. I hope you understand how important it is that we blast out this information every chance we can. The following is sourced directly from the Canadian Cancer Society website, www.cancer.ca: As part of the annual Daffodil Month activities, the Canadian Cancer Society has designated April 27, 2013 as Daffodil Day. This is a special day when Canadians can show their support for those living with cancer and to remember those who have died. On this important day we encourage

Canadians to do something special for those living with cancer or to contribute in some way to the fight against this disease. For example: Tell a loved one or friend with cancer that you are thinking of them; let them know about the Society’s information and support programs. Do something special for someone you know with cancer (make a meal, do an errand, babysit). Talk with your provincial or local politicians about the importance of fighting back against cancer and tell them how they can join the Society in this fight. To some the daffodil is just a flower. To us it’s a symbol of hope. It says we won’t give up. It says we will fight back against cancer and win. Show your support of those battling cancer today and remember those we have lost to cancer. This is not to say incredible organizations such as the Canadian Cancer Society and others like it don’t require ongoing, substantial financial support. They do. They’re just letting us know there is much, much more we can do for each other on special days. Because every day is special, isn’t it? Be a good sport. Support someone. Support as many someones as you can.

Dear EditorOur Member of Parliament has given his thumbs up to the federal budget but he has given the thumbs down to protecting our lakes. The federal government has announced that it will no longer fund the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) water research station in northern Ontario. Last week Mr. Devolin voted to defeat a motion that would have kept it alive. The ELA is one of the most important research

stations for water quality not just in Canada, but the entire world. It is a unique living laboratory where scientists, including researchers from Trent University, conduct cutting edge research on a range of water quality issues. The work done at the ELA cannot be done anywhere else in the world. And it costs a pittance to maintain – only $2 million per year! What does this have to do with our riding? I don’t have to spell out to you the importance of our lakes and rivers to the local economy, in particular to farming and tourism. And just last week our Kawartha Conservation Authority released its Kawartha Watershed Report Card. It gave the Kawartha Watershed only a C for surface water quality. This is very worrisome, indeed. I grew up on Balsam Lake and have enjoyed the beautiful waters of our area for nearly 60 years and have always hoped that future generations would also enjoy and benefit from them. In recent years I have seen a lot of scary changes that are not easily explained. Dead carp, algae blooms, and extensive weed growth, for example. We all depend on science to protect our valuable water resources. Killing the ELA is a stupid and dangerous action by our government. And it seems that Mr. Devolin is more concerned about party loyalty than he is about protecting our lakes and rivers.Moya BeallCity of Kawartha Lakes

& TRAINING

City Hall By Gord Killen

The primary focus of the March 26th Council meeting was to review the 2012 fourth quarter results of all departments in the City of Kawartha Lakes. The reports are related to the various activities of the year and to my mind it is an exercise in bafflegab. Just to cite one example: the Economic Development Department stated that the pilot season of the town trolley as being successful when everyone knows the overriding costs of getting this project launched far outweigh any benefits for the foreseeable future. I for one cannot wait until the expected Performance Management System is in place, requiring a systematic method of proper analysis of potential objectives. If this system had been in place, the cost overruns may very well have been avoided. I have no idea what system the City has in mind but since I was once a Management Consultant I would like to give you an example of one that I am familiar with:1. Identify the overall objective. 2. Quantity - answers the question “How much is

to be achieved?”, usually expressed as a number or a percentage.

3. Quality: refers to the quality of the work

performed in accomplishing the Objective. Quality answers the question “How well?” or to what extent/level is the work to be accomplished. It is expressed in qualitative terms where quantification is difficult or impossible.

4. Time: answers the question “By when?” or “within what time frame?” and is usually expressed in calendar time.

5. Cost: answers the question “what resources will be consumed?” It usually includes direct expenses only, expressed in person days for people resources and dollars for out of pocket expenses.

Obviously had a Performance Management System been in place, the objective of purchasing the trolley would have failed in three key areas; Cost – way over the initial budget, Time – missed the initial target date; Quality – had staff performed an in-depth analysis of what it would take to make the Trolley road worthy, they would have found the necessary modifications far too costly and would have advised Council of their findings. The major problem with any initiative is that we sometimes look too quickly at the end result and, in our haste, we tend not to do the due diligence necessary in proper planning. Isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing? Will having a proper Performance Management System in place solve everything? Hardly, but it is a start.

Septic Rehabilitation ProgramIt has been two years in the making but, in a recorded vote of 11 in favour and 3 against, Council approved a program that will be initiated in 2014 that will encourage and facilitate the repair, replacement or upgrade of septic systems primarily located on rural residential lands, and/or properties adjacent to water, watercourses and/or agricultural lands in the City of Kawartha Lakes as well as all other residents on septic systems in the City of Kawartha Lakes. It was stressed that it would be on a voluntary basis, one wonders why since studies have shown that malfunctioning septic tanks have been a major cause of pollutants entering our lake and rivers. The City of Kawartha Lakes decided to establish a fund for this purpose. It is envisaged that the City would provide the funds necessary to complete the work and that cost recovery would be done through an amount being added to the yearly tax assessment. Councillors Junkin, Campbell and Macklem voted against the City’s initiative. The most vocal of the three was Junkin citing his belief that it was the Health Department’s responsibility, however the Mayor responded that the City was nevertheless ultimately responsible. I find it rather strange that three councillors would object to a proposal such as this when it is clearly something that is voluntary.

Risk Management In a somewhat similar vein, Michelle Hendry, Director Public Works, requested Council approval for the recruitment and hiring of a Risk Management Official to assist the City in managing Source Protection Plans and developing Risk Management Plans that will reduce or eliminate contaminant risks to the City of Kawartha Lakes municipal drinking water systems, as required under the Clean Water Act, 2006. Since the city has little choice in the matter the motion easily passed.

ROOTS & RAMBlIngSBecause of this winter’s deep snow, I did not get pruning my apple trees as early as usual this year. The best time is late winter before the sap starts to run and new growth begins. There are two main reasons to prune any fruit tree. For young trees, it helps to create a strong, healthy structure. Older ones need to be pruned to keep their balanced shape and to encourage fruit production which happens on older wood called spurs. The required tools are a pair of good quality clippers, loppers and a pruning saw. If you are pruning far above your head, you may need a sturdy step ladder or a long pole pruner. Make sure that all tools are clean and sharp. Apples like light and good air circulation. Both of these help them to ripen and colour properly. The experts try to make an open-centred tree. Some old timers used to say that you need to be able to throw your hat through the centre without hitting any branches. So do not be bashful. Remove weak, broken or diseased branches, crossed limbs, long spindly ones, small lateral branches, and ones that are growing straight up or down. When removing a branch, be sure to leave a short collar next to the trunk or limb. Cut on a downward angle to allow rain to drain and the wound to heal. All of these procedures will reduce disease and prevent the formation of hundreds of small puny fruit. The best apples develop when they have about 20 cms. of growing room. Yearly pruning will reward you with a healthy tree filled with blossoms in the spring and a bountiful harvest in the fall.Submitted by John Bick,Bobcaygeon & District Horticultural Society

The group has been broadcast on OMNI/CityTV, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), and National Public Radio (NPR), and are co-directors of the Vancouver Chamber Players. They are on faculty at the Saint James Music Academy, the Thrive City String Academy, the Thrive City String Boot Camp, and the Vancouver Academy of Music. The BMC thanks Infinitus for their generosity in doing two school concerts in our community: one at Langton P.S. and the other at Bobcaygeon P.S. on April 19 in advance of their April 20th concert.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) A wonderful opportunity may be coming your way, Aries. Don’t let it slip out of your grasp. Check it over for all positive and negative repercussions and respond accordingly.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) There is a Spanish proverb, Taurus, that says habits are first cobwebs, then cables. What does this mean? Well, we are all creatures of habit, aren’t we? But have your habits become automatic behaviours from insecurity or worry? Until you become aware of your habits, you won’t be able to change them. Try to become more conscious of what you do, and find positive replacements and constructive actions instead.

gemini (May 22 to June 22) Whoa! Spring is just about here! And you, dear Gemini, are in the perfect position to appreciate it! There are so many opportunities in the Kawarthas to get out there and enjoy nature – something that will ease your mind as well as your form!

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) You need to welcome new relationships and new ideas into your life, Cancer. Open up your mind and let the world rush in! Talk about refreshing!

leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) The seasons are changing, Leo, and so are you. Investigate your love of the earth – gardening, farming, or just enjoying a scenic view. Psychologists tell us working in soil can lift our moods – harkening back to the days our ancestors spent toiling the fields and reaping their harvests.

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) “A lie can travel half way around the world, while the truth is putting on its shoes.” We urge you, Virgo, to be careful what you spread as rumour. It has a way, in this day and age, of speeding quickly to unknown places – and

then the same can happen to you – with unforeseen complications.

libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) Libra is the only zodiac sign not represented by an animal or human. Instead: The Scales, representing law, fairness and civility. It is known as a positive and extroverted sign. Given all these attributes, Libra, we are counting on you to do what you know is just and right during this phase. You may face some sort of trial, but we know you will come through it.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to nov. 22) These days you are most compatible, in the world of love, with a Leo, Virgo, Libra, Aquarius or Pisces. Judge your interactions correspondingly – and let the rest take care of itself!

Sagittarius (nov. 23 to Dec. 21) We sense this is a time of change for you Sag – the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Don’t be afraid! You’ve grown from your past experiences and now need to use these with confidence and vigour to launch great new happenings.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) We are happy to note your health situation improves by the day, Capricorn. Keep taking those steps, however small they may seem, to rally and progress, upward and onward!

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Make your own decisions on financial matters based on your head (not your heart) at this time, Aquarius. Allow no outside influences to impact your conclusions.

Pisces (Feb.20 to March 20) Dear, dear Pisces! Do not fear the power of love! We sense a feeling of loss of control – what, we ask, is really wrong with that? Trust yourself and your lover.

Not everyone is lucky enough to live in the Kawartha Lakes District year ‘round. To welcome those who do visit during different seasons, the rest of us offer our guests the experiences they’ve come to expect. It’s not always a vacation destination that guests seek, either. It may be the gathering spot for a family, professional or recreational event. The beautiful scenery and plentiful activities make up the backdrop. Service is the way we show our heart. Accommodations give our guests a favourite place to curl up.

Remember to share the 2013 Explore Bobcaygeon and Explore Fenelon Falls books with your visitors. Explore publications are available at participating locations throughout Ontario – along with the Chambers of Commerce in Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls.

BobcaygeonChamber of Commerce

Given its continuing solid support, the Bobcaygeon and Area Chamber of Commerce can be said to be “well and truly in bed” with the local accommodations sector. On its part, the industry has responded just as enthusiastically, with the total of 56 establishments – eight hotels, motels and inns, 13 bed and breakfast, 29 cottage resorts and six campgrounds – making up 22.4 percent of Chamber membership. Locations are within the village, halfway to Lindsay along or accessed from County Roads 24 and 36, on or

adjacent to County Road 36 to Buckhorn, and along or close to County Road 8 halfway to Fenelon Falls. There are no locations north along County Road 49. Chamber support comes in two major ways. The first comprises listings in the Explore Bobcaygeon & Area tourism booklet published annually by The Promoter in co-operation with the Chamber, listings on the www.bobcaygeon.org website, which has a link to the city’s Tourism Department website, and inclusion of their business cards on the Chamber’s public-area display racks. The second is the May 24 to September 30 referral service handled by a “senior tourism summer student.” This heavy-traffic, time-consuming exercise begins each Thursday with an email to all accommodations members asking for vacancies expected over the following week. Armed with such information as available dates, unit size, number of beds, kitchen and other facilities, handicapped accessibility, etc., the Chamber then “mates” those data with the caller’s requirements – arrival and departure dates, number in party, including children, length of stay, pet acceptance – and provides the phone numbers and/or email addresses for direct contact with the suitable businesses.

The Chamber also provides answers about community spin-offs, such as boat and watercraft rentals, restaurants, fishing-related businesses, general and specific shopping venues, activities and events.

How To Save MoneyConserve Energy in Your

Home

There are many free and inexpensive ways to conserve energy in your home. Some improvements for your home will cost money, but these are often good investments that will reduce your electricity bills in the future. Visit saveOnenergy.ca to find out how you can save energy at home.

Remember these main conservation ideas:1. Shift electricity use to off-peak periods. With smart meters and time-of-use pricing, you can save money by switching some of your energy use to mid- and off-peak hours when electricity prices are lower. 2. Unplug electronic items not in use.Many electronic items — computers, TVs, cell phone

chargers — continue to consume small amounts of electricity unless they are unplugged. Try plugging these items into a power bar with a switch, so you can easily turn them off when they are not in use. 3. Choose energy-efficient products.Consider energy savings in your buying decision. ENERGY STAR® appliances and compact fluorescent light bulbs consume less electricity, so your costs will be reduced. There are many conservation and renewable energy programs available in Ontario to help you in your efforts to be more energy aware for your home. They are offered by various levels of government, by local electricity and natural gas utilities, by non-profit agencies, and by many other associations. Whether you are looking for more information, practical assistance, financial incentives, or other resources, the incentives listing for home will assist you in finding the programs best suited to your interests and needs. These initiatives and programs undertaken by groups and individuals across Ontario are of vital importance to our economy and our environment. Source: www.energy.gov.on.ca

CHIROPRACTIC neUROlOgy

Most people associate chiropractic with back and neck pain. However, advances in brain research and imaging strongly support the new specialty of chiropractic neurology. This advanced branch of chiropractic offers new hope for those who have not found relief from conventional chiropractic, physical therapy and medical (drug) treatment. Chiropractic Neurology is a form of Chiropractic assessment and treatment that focuses on restoring and optimizing brain and nervous system function, which in turn improves health throughout the body. Based on the work of Fredrick R. Carrick, D.C., Ph.D., and taught at the post-doctorate level through The Carrick Institute for Post-Graduate Studies, this approach relies on an in depth knowledge and application of how various parts of the brain and nervous system work together to create health (Central Integration). Chiropractic neurologists are specialists in evaluating the function of the brain and nervous system. Once the deficit has been diagnosed, a treatment protocol is implemented to increase the potential of the brain and correct the brain’s asymmetry. It is the treatment that separates us from medical

neurology and other chiropractic methods. While medical neurologists utilize synthetic drugs to affect the system, we may utilize treatment involving physical modalities that are non-invasive and non-surgical. This involves a focused interpretation of clinical findings and symptoms based upon a functional continuum of analysis. In one sense, this means that we, utilizing a functional neurological approach, offer an exceptionally valuable option for certain patients that have been unable to obtain a named diagnosis or solution for their problem, particularly when this is as a result of dysfunction rather than a named process of pathology (disease). Consequently, we may recommend treatment or therapies that may not be familiar to medical neurologists, and will likely be new to you as well. Such treatment, known as afferent stimulation, is the use of elements of the physical environment that are non-invasive and non-surgical. A revolutionary new treatment program developed by a leading chiropractic neurologist, Dr. Fredrick Carrick. The treatments are all neurologically and metabolically based and clinically proven to help with conditions like Chronic Neck and Back Pain, Leg Pain/Sciatica, Migraines, Fibromyalgia, Restless Leg Syndrome, RSDS, Numbness, Balance Disorders, ADD/ADHD/Dyslexia, Thyroid Disorders and many other conditions.

5 IMPORTAnT leg VeIn FACTS yOU SHOUlD KnOw 1. Walking daily is the single best thing you can do

if you have varicose veins. Walking activates the calf muscle pump that pushes blood out of the legs towards the heart. Daily walks will also result in weight loss, which helps varicose veins.

2. Wearing Support hose is very important in the treatment of leg veins. Support hose help by relieving the pressure inside the veins by minimizing the pooling of blood in the lower extremities. They are often used after vein treatments.

3. Varicose veins are caused by poorly functioning valves. They occur when the valves that keep blood flowing up the legs are damaged. Faulty valves are most often inherited but are occasionally caused by trauma or pregnancy.

4. Many skin disorders of the legs are made worse by varicose veins. Pooling of blood that occurs with varicose veins affects the health of the skin and sometimes causes dermatitis of the lower legs. Occasionally skin ulcers form on the inner side of the ankles.

5. Most people do not require surgery to eliminate their veins. In fact surgery is now very seldom used because there are now much safer methods such as injection sclerotherapy and endovenous laser treatment.

Dr Peter Ursel has been treating leg veins for over 20 years. Consultations are available at 705.328.1747. Get his free Vein Book at www.veinbook.com. For more information or go to www.doctorursel.com

COMMUnITy CAReSEach year, almost 900 exceptional people with extraordinary hearts give some of their time, talent and support to Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes, in order for the agency to deliver the services and programs that it does for local residents. This corps of volunteers contributes to Community Care in almost every way imaginable - by participating in delivery of programs and services such as Meals on Wheels, volunteer transportation and Adult Day care, by serving on volunteer boards and committees, by helping out in the agency’s administrative offices or by playing vital roles in fundraising and special events put on by the organization. Collectively, those 900 caring people contributed close to 80,000 volunteer hours to the agency last fiscal year. That’s the equivalent of approximately 45 full-time paid positions. Do not let anyone ever undervalue the contributions made by volunteers! Community Care’s annual Volunteer Appreciation event is coming up quickly. It will be held Sunday, April 21 at the new Fenelon Falls Community Centre. The agency’s volunteers have received invitations in the mail, and their RSVPs are now being sought. The theme of this year’s event is “Exceptional People, Extraordinary Hearts” and it exemplifies not only what kind of individuals the agency’s volunteers are, but also perfectly sums up what Community Care’s staff and board members think of those individuals who give so unselfishly. The least that the agency can do is say “thank you” in a small way with an annual tribute. With such a large volunteer contingent, there is always significant turnover. As a result, new volunteers are always welcomed, and people are encouraged to join the caring Community Care team. Call the agency at 705.324.7323 to find out how to get involved as a volunteer. Mike Puffer is Director of Marketing & Development for Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes Health and Support Services. E-mail: [email protected]

A wART ByAny OTHeR nAMe

Plantar warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) and affect 7-10% of the Canadian population. Yet, this common, contagious, and sometimes painful invader of the foot suffers from an identity crisis, beginning first with its name. The “plantar” in plantar wart refers to the fact that it appears on the plantar aspect of the foot – your sole. Yet, it’s not uncommon to hear it referred to mistakenly as a “planter’s wart.” One can’t be sure how this came to be. Certainly, there’s no empirical evidence to suggest that farmers or avid gardeners are any more prone to contracting warts on their feet than the rest of us! Actually, most at risk for plantar warts are people who in their bare feet frequent public places like locker and change rooms, showers, the deck areas in community

swimming pools, and hotel rooms. Frequently- damp footwear like hockey skates or athletic shoes can harbour the virus. Children and diabetics are also particularly susceptible to infection. Another theory behind the planter’s wart / plantar wart muddle might be the resemblance in people’s minds between the shape of some plantar warts and a certain monocle-wearing shelled man in a top hat. For our part, we think that’s just nuts since plantar warts most commonly take on a cauliflower appearance. Adding to the confusion, people will sometimes come to us mistaking their plantar wart for a corn or vice versa. Yet, just as any five year old who has ever turned his or her nose up at the dinner table will tell you, there’s a big difference between corn and cauliflower. And, so it is with corns and plantar warts as well – although distinguishing between them often requires the highly trained eye of a chiropodist to make the right diagnosis. In the end, it doesn’t matter so much what you call it we suppose. A plantar wart by any other name


Melda and Glenn Clark are sad to announce that Eugene Ross Roache, age 91, West Head, Nova Scotia’s oldest resident and Melda’s beloved father, answered the Good Shepherd’s call “Come Home, Come

Home, it’s Suppertime” shortly after midnight on Monday, April 1, 2013. He was born in West Head on May 18, 1921, and on February 2, 1948, he married Sarah May Nickerson. Soon they were blessed with two sons, Claude Myers and Edsel James. In the mid 1950s Eugene and Sarah added two more children to their family, Melda Jean and Francis Eugene. Eugene and Sarah were blessed with many grandchildren. Eugene, however, was no ordinary grandfather. He let grandkids tag along with him doing things ordinary grandfa-thers thought were too dangerous or too dirty. Adventure and Gramp seemed to go hand-in-hand. Eugene spent his life as an inshore fisher-man. He loved his life on the water. On the land he dabbled in gardening and raising sheep, pigs, hens, rabbits and goats. He got great pleasure riding his 4-wheeler across the bog to pick cranberries with his dogs trailing behind. He became an avid reader late in life and remem-bered every detail. Another hobby emerged in his eighties as he took up painting. His masterpiece was a map of West Head showing the names of every family, house, barn, toilet and fence from his childhood and others that he had only heard about. He had always been a poet, but ventured into writing books about the people and places of long ago. In recent months and in failing health he insisted that he had lived a long and satisfying life and everybody had to die sometime. He had a deep relationship with Jesus Christ and was as ready as anyone could be to step from this life into the next. He was faithful until the end and was greeted with, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” Eugene’s family will have a time of sharing at Huskilson’s Funeral Home, Lockeport from 2-4 & 7-9 p.m. Friday. Funeral service will be at the Lockeport Pentecostal Church on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 1 p.m. Interment Lockeport Cemetery. As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations to Gideons International would be appreciated. Messages of condolence, memories, stories and photos may be sent to [email protected]. Eugene is now in a wonderful place with blue skies, gentle breezes and smooth seas. The fisherman has gone home.

We will better or match all written quotes.Dedicated to providing great service!

is still just as infectious, contagious, and stubborn to treat.

Omemee Businesses Co-Chair, Janice Salsbury says, “I’m excited to see the interest of businesses in the community and look forward to growth and prosperity in our community as we continue to work together.” “The process to start a Business Improvement Area is to first discern the need, gather stakeholders, decide on a boundary, create a budget and ask forCouncil support. We have some of this work completed in these communities.” says Denise Williams, Business Development and Retention Officer for the City of Kawartha Lakes. “The strength of Kawartha Lakes is building on the success of our business people in all of our communities like Coboconk, Norland and Omemee where our staff is working with business leaders to grow and expand our local economy.The creation of Business Improvement Areas will be decided by those business people and support new opportunities.

So, as far as I know, there’s nowhere that says chocolate for breakfast is unacceptable. Nutella, a hazelnut-chocolate spread, is just decadent enough without being overpowering. And let’s face it – some food is just better stuffed. So go ahead and treat yourself. You deserve it.

nutella and Strawberry Stuffed French Toastwith Mint whipped Cream8 slices thick cut French bread, Brioche, or Challah (day old is best) 4 eggs, beaten2/3-cup Vanilla Almond Milk

1/4-teaspoon ground cinnamonPinch nutmeg3 tablespoons butter

Filling:8 tablespoons Nutella1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced

whipped Cream:1 cup whipping cream, very cold1/2-teaspoon pure vanilla2 tablespoons sugar16 mint leaves, finely chopped

1. Make the whipped cream. Using an electric mixer, beat the whipping cream in a chilled bowl until thickened and soft peaks form. Sprinkle in the sugar and then beat until just combined. Do not over-beat or it will turn buttery. Gently fold in chopped mint and keep refrigerated until ready to use.

2. Prepare French toast. Divide Nutella among four slices of bread. Top with sliced strawberries and another slice of bread.

3. Combine beaten eggs with almond milk and spices. Set aside.

4. Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Dip the ‘sandwiches’ in egg mixture allowing the bread to soak for a moment per side. Place in frying pan and cook several minutes per side until golden, turning once.

Transfer French toast to a plate and serve with a dollop of mint whipped cream and garnished with powdered sugar. Dig in!
