Hungry Kitties and Baking

The kitties ran out of food this morning so there wasn’t quite enough to go around so I went out to buy them some food. I picked up some Iams Weight Control for them at Petco. When I brought the bag home, there was still food in their bowls that they didn’t finish but all three of them came sniffing around the new bag. As I opened it they started meowing and when I went to fill their bowls, they all hurried over to eat.

I’ve never seen them all eating at the same time (and definitely never Maxwell sitting next to Misu).

Their tails are content, lying quietly on the floor.

Been doing some baking again. Last night I made these chocolate chip peanut butter cookies.

Tonight I am making gingerbread cookie dough and it requires 6 cups of flour! I’m using the bowl of my Kitchenaid mixer and I don’t think I’ve ever used that much flour for any recipe.

I’ll let you know how it turns out when I bake them tomorrow. For now the dough will go in the refrigerator.

Instructables

Ron sent me a link to this very cool site where they have instructions on how to make a lot of cool crafts. They seem pretty good step-by-step instructions and some even have videos!

I’ve already spent many hours checking out all their crafts… so don’t be surprised if you are the recipient of some of these gifts in the future.

Housewarming Gift

Today we went to a housewarming party and I wanted to bring a little homemade gift. I found this great recipe online for dog biscuits in a jar. Basically, you fill a jar with all the necessary dry ingredients for the baked good and the receiver of the gift just needs to add the wet ingredients, mix, and bake!

This is the happy recipient of the dog biscuit mix, his name is Teddy.

This is Teddy playing with his half-sister Ginger.

So adorable! Plus he has a beautiful new house to play in with his parents 🙂
