Ahhhhh the best of both. First the comfort. Remember when custom made orthopedic shoes meant thick soles, round toes and black leather with ties on the side? Meet today's orthopedic shoes, custom Naot's. My feet are in heaven:

And the food. Old cheesecake: 460 calories, cream cheese and sour cream. New cheesecake:150 calories, low in fat and sugar. Amazing! As soon as I can taste food again I'm going to make my third in three weeks.

1/4 C milk or half and half
2/3 C sugar (option for low sugar diets: half splenda and half sugar)
1/3 C flour plus a bit more for dusting
2t almond extract
6 eggs (I use high omega eggs)

2. In a food processor with steel blade, whiz the ricotta until very smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally.
3. Add milk, sugar, flour and extract and process until combined.
4. Break eggs into a jug and while motor is running, pour slowly down feed tube. Whiz for 40 seconds until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides if needed.

    I say the uglier the shoe the better…but I have a slightly cracked sense of fashion and style.

    I have those shoes in ivory and they fit my very stylish orthodics. I’ll trust your taste with the cheesecake, too.

    Oh, my goodness…treats for the feet and for dessert! Since I had my foot surgery last year, I have to be very careful about the shoes that I wear. I find myself with far fewer pairs, but more pricey, comfortable. I’d rather have one pair of $100 shoes than 4 pair of $25 shoes!
