Excerpts

FromThrow Me a Bone PAWCAKESTO MAKE A MEAL, ADD BLUEFISH CUBES (PAGE 29)Ever hear the expression "a dog's breakfast"? I think Shakespeare or some other two-legger coined it, and I think it's meant to be insulting. Obviously Shakespeare never had anyone make him a stack of these pawcakes. If he had, he would never have suggested that we dogs don't enjoy the finest of morning meals. (Just look at my friend Ziggy who lives with Boston restaurateur Don Levy, patiently waiting for his pawcakes. In my dreams, I lap up a whole gallon of maple syrup with them but not while Susan is looking...) Cook only the amount you need; the excess batter can be stored in the fridge for two days.1 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose or whole-wheat flour1/4 cup yellow cornmeal1 teaspoon baking soda2 teaspoons baking powder2 cups buttermilk1/2 cup milk, skim or whole2 large eggs2 tablespoons vegetable oil2 eggshells, crushed or groundPlace the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl and stir to combine.Place the buttermilk, skim milk, eggs, and oil in a small bowl and stir to combine. Add the wet ingredients and eggshells to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and when it is hot, drop in small ladlefuls of batter. Cook until bubbles form and burst. Flip over and cook for about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature.YIELD: ABOUT 24 SILVER DOLLAR PAWCAKESSERVING SIZE: 1 TO 2 PAWCAKESGrind or crush up eggshells and mix them into recipes to add extra calcium. Dogs have a strong need for calcium in order to counteract the high phosphorus content in meat. Copyright 2003 by Susan Orlean and Sally Sampson FromThrow Me a Bone BOW WOWOH WOW!SURPRIZE CHEEZBURGERSBesides our freckles, our waggly tails, and our long floppy ears, my friend Jessie and I have something very important in common: we are cheese fanatics. I'm partial to Velveeta; Jessie is a cheddarhead. We do agree that this recipe for burgers is terrific. The center is canine caviar -- cheese, of course! -- and it gets nice and melty and gooey. Oops, I'm drooling...6 ounces ground beef or turkey1 large egg yolk1 egg shell, ground (optional)1/4 to 1/2 cup cooked rice or leftover cooked oatmeal2 tablespoon grated cheddar or Swiss cheesePlace the beef, egg yolk and shell, if using, and rice in a small bowl and mix well. Using a knife or your hands, divide the mixture into 6 equal parts, about 1 1/2 ounces each. Flatten each part into a patty. Place 1/3 of the cheese on each of 3 patties, and place the other 3 patties on top of the cheese. Using your hands, pinch the sides together to reseal them. (The burgers can be covered and refrigerated up to one day at this point.)To cook:Preheat the broiler. Place the cheezburger on a broiler pan or baking sheet about 2 1/2 to 3 inches from the heat and broil until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes per side.orPlace a cast iron skillet over high heat and heat until it is so hot that droplets of water bounce off. Add the cheezburger. Cook until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes per side.orPrepare a grill. Place the cheezburger on the grill and cook until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes per side.Store any extra in the refrigerator, covered.YIELD: 3 BURGERSSERVING SIZE: 1 BURGER Copyright 2003 by Susan Orlean and Sally Sampson FromThrow Me a Bone GO-BANANAS TRAINING TREATSI personally have an issue with coming when I'm called. It's not that I don't intend to ever come; it's just that I'm usually in the middle of doing something really interesting when Susan calls me. As a result, I tend to dawdle, and Susan tends to get
