An international pandemic can certainly make a person do things they might not have done in precedented times. For instance, I only paid a tiny bit of attention to the National Day Calendar prior to last spring, but I check it out everyday now. I don't necessarily celebrate something each day because sometimes the things that are being recognized are a bit weird (like National Promposal Day - why is this even a thing?) and other times there are things we might have celebrated, but didn't have enough advance notice to prepare properly (National Pizza Day). Recently we decided to always look at the week ahead before going shopping so that we are not caught unawares again.
We are always happy to celebrate with our dog Perry when appropriate. She enjoyed last Saturday's Love Your Pet day with some extra snuggling. Today, National Dog Biscuit Day, she enjoys a special treat prepared from the Throw Me a Bone Cookbook which apparently has made only one previous appearance on this blog when our only child was the guest blogger almost 10 years ago.
Today's entry is a variation on "Paw-mesan Tail Twisters". The ingredient list included
2 c. whole wheat flour
1/4 c. yellow cornmeal
1 egg
3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese (I used considerably less, like way less of even half of that for our dog who was recently put on a low-fat diet).
I mixed all the ingredients, saving a bit of the grated cheese. When everything was well mixed I took out small bits of the dough and rolled into balls (rather than "logs" as the recipe said to do). I then rolled the balls in the remaining Parmesan and baked at 325 for 30 minutes.
Once the treats were cooled Perry gave it a taste test. After rolling her snack around on the floor for a minute or two she eagerly ate it up and gave it an enthusiastic "two dew claws up".
