• Kitty Litter Cake - Now here is something I gotta try!  Thanks to Brudder John for cluing me in on this!!

  

  
  This is a fun cake! It might look gross, but it does taste good!

  Ingredients:
  1 (18 oz.) box spice or german chocolate cake mix
  1 (18 oz.) box white cake mix
  1 pkg. white sandwich cookies
  1 large box vanilla instant pudding mix
  12 small tootsie rolls
  1 litter box (preferably a NEW one!)
  1 plastic scoop
  green food coloring
  
  Preparation:
  Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans). Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender, they tend to stick, so scrape often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using a fork or shake in a jar.
  When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding, mix with the cake and "feel" it, you don't want it soggy, just moist; gently combine. Put mixture into clean litter box.Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top, this is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter. Heat remaining Tootsie Rolls, three at a time in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around. Serve with a new pooper scooper.

  And here is something to go with the cake!  A nice cup or luwak coffee!!  Behold the luwak.  Doesn't it look like a Japanese tanuki?

   

  Kopi Luwak coffee beans are collected exclusively from the what is left behind by the luwak, a cat-like animal that lives in the Indonesian jungle.  Luwaks eat the best ripe coffee beans, and after nature takes its course, lucky harvesters come along and collect the undigested inner beans from the dung.  The beans are then washed and just lightly roasted so as to avoid destroying all of the nuances of flavor created by the beans' digestive journey. They're then sold for big bucks to high-end retailers.  A cup of this brew can run $50.

  Try these new taste treats at your next party, and play some jazz with a scat singer in the background.
