COOKING WITH BIFFY

Good cooking runs in the family, so it seems.
I have sat on my barstool watching Mom cook for many years,
so, I thought I would share some of my favorite recipes with
you special Felines so that you and your human can share some
quality time in the kitchen.

This is a for real people cake,
but it just had to go on this page because of its composition.
This was sent to my Mom by Nancy Deer With Horns.
KITTY LITTER CAKE

1 Spice or German Chocolate Cake Mix
1 White Cake Mix
1 Pkg White Sandwich Cookies
1 Large pkg Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
Green food coloring
12 Small Tootsie Rolls
1 *NEW* kitty litter box
1 *NEW* kitty litter box plastic liner
1 *NEW* pooper scooper

Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans). Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender, they tend to stick, so scrape often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup.

To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using a fork or shake in a jar.

When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding, mix with the cake and "feel" it, you don't want it soggy, just moist; gently combine.

Line new, clean kitty litter box. Put mixture into litter box.

Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top, this is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.

Heat remaining Tootsie Rolls, 3 at a time in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Spread 5 of the remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box; sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs.

Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around.

Serve with a *new* pooper scooper.

Original Chef: Unknown...but someone with a great sense of humor!

Here is the finished product. This cake was baked by
Uncle Steve of S. Whit's Place for the teachers' lounge and here are the results of the "poll":

50% thought it was a hoot and ate some.
25% thought it was a hoot but didn't eat any.
25% were grossed out.
NO ONE ate any tootsie rolls!!

CAT BISCUITS
1 c. whole wheat flour 2 tbsp. oil or fat
2 tbsp. wheat germ 1 tbsp. kelp or 1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. bran flakes 1 tsp. sage
1/4 c. soy flour 1/2 tsp. bone meal
1 tbsp. molasses (unsulphored) 1/3 c. milk or water


Mix all ingredients together.
Knead, roll out and cut into narrow strips or ribbons.
Bake 25-30 minutes in a moderate oven (350 degrees)
until lightly toasted. Watch the narrow strips as they tend
to get done sooner than the others. If the biscuits
are not hard enough, leave them in the oven with the heat
turned off for an hour or as long as desired.

15% protein, 21% FAT, 64% carbohydrates.
The soy and wheat combination increase the usable protein by 26%.

CAT BISCUITS, TOO
2 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. powdered skim milk
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 egg, beaten
Flavoring: Meat drippings, broth or water from canned tuna (enough to make a stiff dough).

Combine flour, powdered milk and garlic powder in a medium sized bowl.
Add beaten egg, flavoring and mix well with hands. Dough should
be very stiff. If necessary add more flavoring. On a well-floured
surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with shaped
cookie cutters of your choice. Place biscuits on cookie sheets
and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

1/4 cup very warm water
1/4 cup corn oil
1 egg
1 6-ounce can liver (or tuna) cat food
1/4 cup water

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Mix dry
ingredients in large bowl. Add yeast, oil, egg, cat food
and water. Mix well (dough will be very stiff).
Drop 1/2 teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 25 minutes at 300 degrees.
Yield 13 dozen. Store in refrigerator.

SALMON SNACKS
1/2 c Canned salmon, drained
1 c Whole-grain bread crumbs
1 tbs Vegetable oil
