I love making Osso Bucco in my slow cooker.
I also love making it on the cook top (or in the oven).
Sometimes, I’m just not organized enough to get it in the slow cooker in a timely manner. Or the sun is shining and the day is nice and I’d rather be outside.
It’s important to be flexible.

Here is the Slow Cooker Osso Bucco
This is what a sunshiny, calm day looks like from our front door:
I use to say things like ‘It’s blooming late this year’ or ‘It’s early this year’.
I have come to the conclusion (it took me awhile) that every year is different and every flower or flowering tree will bloom when its time is right.
My forsythia was beautiful this year and bloomed right on time.
This Osso Bucco looks delicious. Braising I think, would be my choice. Must try 😉
I’ve found that my plants come up in the same order every year, it’s just a matter of when they start. Sometimes, they’re late, or they seem so to me. Sometimes, they’re early. Or again, they seem so to me. But they all come up in the same blooming order so…as long as they bloom, I’m happy 🙂
My wisteria, which has taken over a tree (before we got here) is dying, slowly. It’s only had a small percentage of flowers the last few years. We’ll need professionals with a cherry picker to trim it. As to the rest – I’m just happy when they bloom, too lol
