My thoughts regarding Twilight

"Twilight is comparable to a chocolate turtle. She is covered with a rich layer of bitter sweet character, and is filled with golden caramel, but you have to look out for the nuttiness in her."

Welcome to the Twilight Zone

My grandparents say that the first four words I spoke were as follows; dada, momma, capitol, and horse. I was infatuated with horses from a young age, and never grew out of it. One of my life goals was to own a horse, and when I turned 15 I made my dream come true and purchased my horse Twilight. In appearance Twilight looks like a beautiful black bay mare who has Saddlebred, Shire and Thoroughbred breeding, but she is so much more than that. Behind her brown eyes is a crazy stubborn , fiery, wild black lassie. . . whom I adore and consider to be my soul mate. This is a blog all about Twilight and how she has altered my life for the better. . .more or less. Welcome to the Twilight Zone!

The Julie and Julia Horse Spoof

I have found a website (see link bellow) of horses treat recipes that I would like to attempt to make. I cannot help but think this is the beginning of a spoof of the Julie and Julia blog.

The first recipe I made:
Recipe courtesy of Moniteau Saddle Club (http://www.moniteausaddleclub.com/horse_treats.htm).

Rosey's Delicious Munchies

  • 1 cup dry oats
  • 1 cup shredded carrots and apples (or either or)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • Little less than a 1/4 cup water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients first then add everything else. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Your horses will enjoy then very much! Keep in fridge until ready to give to your 4 legged friend!

Molasses happens to look quite a bit like chocolate when sitting in a mixing bowl, I was hoping that one of my family members would mistake the mixture as some sort of chocolate concoction and try a taste. I did not happen.
The "Munchies" have a rubber like consistency, and a texture like Carmel.
Despite the strange dark brown color and ability to wiggle and stretch like jello Twilight found the Munchies incredibly enjoyable.
She bobbed her head appreciatively when I offered them to her and was disappointed when my supply disappeared she found my hands empty.

I'm giving the Recipe four out of five stars.

    It must have been fun to feed Twilight something you made yourself.
