Last week, in an effort to help us connect with Nigel, C in WI was kind enough to share a recipe for Paco’s favorite treats. Paco is C’s shy, rescued Peruvian Paso. According to C, these treats bring Paco to his knees begging. Hmm. Would they have the same effect here at Morning Bray Farm?
First, here’s the recipe for Paco’s favorite treats:
1 c. bran cereal
1 c. grated carrots
1 c. molasses
1 1/2 c. flour.
Mix together. Put teaspoon full dough on greased baking sheet. Flatten with fork and sprinkle of sugar (like Peanut Butter cookies). 350 for 15 min.
We were fairly certain what the outcome of our baking experiment would be. Not surprisingly, we discovered we have four cookie monsters.
Bernard thought taking a picture of the treats was a ridiculous waste of time.
Ellsworth thought they were delish and immediately asked for a second.
Fergus thought he had died and gone to burro heaven. Keep in mind during all of this I was hollering at Don, “Wait, you all are going too fast. I need to take pictures!”
Oh, sweet Nigel. Would you like a cookie sweetheart?
Paco loves them, so you will too. Better hurry though, before Fergus gets it.
Oh dear! It fell on Ellsworth’s butt. (This place is a madhouse.)
Let’s chase that puppy down before Ellsworth runs off with it, okay?
Here you go, buddy. I then heard Nigel exclaim something about a par-tay in his mouth.
Meanwhile, I turned around to find Ellsworth still pleading with Don for a second cookie. As was Bernard’s, Ellsworth’s upper lip reach was quite impressive.
After everyone had their second cookie, Ellsworth got to lick the plate. I noticed something else going on then too. Look at Bernard’s mouth. He’s savoring that molasses goodness.
They all did it. Too cute, I tell ya.
Dear C in WI,
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe for Paco’s favorite treats with our mom. We loved them and think you and Paco ROCK. Hugs to you and Paco from all of us.
Love,
The Boys ♥
