After a day spent mainly in the kitchen, preparing meals for the week, I decided to knock up some liver cake for the pups. All was going swimmingly until the stick blender jammed whilst blitzing the liver. I turned it over to look and, indeed, there was some sinew wrapped around the blade. Sadly, at that moment, my thumb slipped, hit the button and the thing whizzed. Red gunk covered me (right in the eye, nice), the floor, the work surface, the units, the ceiling, ALL the walls... I have a white kitchen. It looked like someone had been murdered. Sigh. JulieT, I'm with you. I'll think I'll just order some dried spratts.
Re: Maybe JulieT has it right.. I thought you were going to say that you hurt yourself on the blade. Really glad that only liver was harmed!! And the kitchen.
Re: Maybe JulieT has it right.. Sorry, had to smile ;D But do appreciate how much work was involved to clean it all up. For one ghastly moment, I thought the 'red' was your blood and part of your thumb!
Re: Maybe JulieT has it right.. Another one here worried that your thumb may have ended up in the blender! Seriously the pups will love your for your homemade liver cake..and if liver is too much try these...salmon and oatcakes salmon and oat cakes by kate_beanwood, on Flickr
Re: Maybe JulieT has it right.. Yum, yum, look absolutely delicious, not going to show the picture to my Labs, they would be so envious.
Re: Maybe JulieT has it right.. Oooh, they look nice! I've made the liver cake before for Willow and she loves it! I cut it up into teeny tiny bits and use it as training treats. Yours looks great, though. And, as luck would have it, I bought a whole salmon yesterday
Re: Maybe JulieT has it right.. Wow, you are all so dedicated!!! I wouldn't go to that much trouble to make treats for my children, let alone for the dog! Lucky for me Poppy would sell her soul for cheese cubes... :
Re: Maybe JulieT has it right.. Far to much hassle for me luckily Harley loves sprats, cheese, barker and barker treats and any meat going
Re: Maybe JulieT has it right.. [quote author=Naya link=topic=8874.msg126197#msg126197 date=1416777474] Far to much hassle for me luckily Harley loves sprats, cheese, barker and barker treats and any meat going [/quote] I wonder if Harley could eat these? They only contain a small amount of oats, and I think oats are gluten free? The other ingredients are our own honey, chickpea flour salmon and an egg
Re: Maybe JulieT has it right.. Kate, some people with Gluten sensitivity can eat oats, some can't. I think it depends upon how processed it is. You can buy gluten-free oats though, same as you can gluten-free flour. Might need to do it by trial and error?
Re: Maybe JulieT has it right.. Yeesh I thought your finger had got cut off, too!! Glad that only liver was harmed in the making of the treats....
Re: Maybe JulieT has it right.. I have to admit, I had to check my digits afterwards. I'm never that careless normally! Clumsy, yes, but because of that, I tend to be quite careful. The liver cake was a massive success at training time this morning, so maybe it was worth it after all
