Some help with the cooking.




Maurice: No, look. It does say ' mouse cake'.

I'm so glad my home isn't the only one where kitties help with cooking! We often joke around here that the unfortunate pile of critters on the front stoop is the hopeful contribution to the evening stew. Perchance a shrew stew this evening, Valerianna?

Thank you for a nice laugh this AM. It's wonderful to have help with the cooking, isn't it?

(Mickey) Mouse-shaped pans are available - wonder if the recipe would fare well in it?

Glad to see that like our home, the kitties are NEVER???? on the counter-just when company is coming to dinner!! Great photo of the three sous chefs.

Lovely helpers indeed! And with a look like that, I would never argue with Maurice.

who could resist those three chefs?

Terra said...

Yum, fresh mouse, and it needs no cooking, according to my cats.

Val said...

That look is very convincing...I believe him

Claudia said...

The purrfect menu: alouettes sans tetes (larks without heads), rat-atouille and mouse cake (or mouse pie). mmmm

BumbleVee said...

I'm sure he's correct... mouse is definitely misspelled ....

Looks as if several of us saw the same thing here: Good company in a friend who puts up with kitties on the counter. At our house there's a corner of the counter where the cats' bowls are because the dogs would get their food if it wasn't out of reach. I used to apologize to squeamish guests but now, it's OUR kitchen and if you don't like the setup, bye-bye.

It seems that I am in good company with cats who parade around the counters and sit on the table.
It is very difficult to explain to visitors who think cats [if they must be in the house at all] belong on the floor!

Greetings dear FElines,

We love the photo in this post and also in the previous posting. Since dad is the photographer in this house, he wanted to tell you that even though they are dark, he feels they remind him of Rembrandt's painting.

So how did the cake turn out?

Wishing you all the best,
Miss Kitty and Egmont (dad)

My kitties understand "Get down" perfectly well. What they don't understand is why I think it should apply to them -- especially since I rarely cook anyway.

Dark chocolate mouse cake...mmmm...although the cats would probably prefer a lighter grey or brown mouse cake...

Maggie Marsland said...

You're definitely right, Maurice. I expect you had that recipe in mind for my birthday visit a couple of years ago, didn't you???

Marion said...

Did you Darlings talk Her into making a mouse cake for Glyn?

Deb said...

Looks like my kitchen. :)

Griffin said...

Definitely Mouse Cake...Chocolate Mouse Cake.

Love that look on Maurice's face too. You are so lucky to have such er, supervisors!

Marie said...

Chocolate mouse, no doubt?
