So today was an early day for me. 6:30am out of the house to the market to get some inspiration for Friday’s barbecue, but I found none.<\/p>\n

Instead, what I did find was a pack labeled “animal meat” at Sheng Siong.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was of course, curious. What animal meat could it be?<\/p>\n

Well, it was really scraps of beef meat meant for feeding animals – dogs, cats and so on. No innards and funky stuff. 500g for $3.<\/p>\n

Next to it, were little oval shaped vacuumed packed bags of Goat liver. $2++ for a liver.<\/p>\n

So, I ended up with slightly less than 2kg of meat and liver. I boiled them with a little water, not enough to cover all the meat. Then put it into a blender and made it all mushy.<\/p>\n

Mixed in 500g of wholewheat flour, 400g of corn meal, mixed it all up together. Added the water in which the meat and liver was boiled.<\/p>\n

It seemed a little dry.<\/p>\n

Popped in 3 eggs.<\/p>\n

Okay, looking better.<\/p>\n

Maybe could make it like a real cookie. Put in 3 tsps baking powder.<\/p>\n

Popped it into the oven 180 deg C. Half hour.<\/p>\n

Seemed a bit dark and a bit wet – wanted it drier. Popped it back in, lowered temp to 150. Stayed in there another half hour or so.<\/p>\n

Next tray went in, cooked for about 1 hour at 150 deg.<\/p>\n

\"Tray<\/a><\/p>\n

Outcome: a pretty tasty treat for the dogs. They’re mad about it. Even as I was mixing it up, they were getting excited. It tastes good, but devoid of salt, garlic, onion powder. But I’ve to remember, this is for the dogs, not me.<\/p>\n

The baking powder did nothing to make it rise, except make it darken faster. I should use some plain or bread flour next time as well, as baking powder doesn’t work too well with whole wheat flour. Insufficient protein. Forgot about that!<\/p>\n

So, no excuse now. Gotta teach Sumo more tricks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
