Distinguishing Personality Traits

Mybill says, "Snickers is our West Highland Terrier who doesn't think of himself as a dog, just our 'baby'. He is five years old and a typical Westie. He loves his toys and is extremely smart. Sometimes, especially in the evenings when Daddy is home, he will sit and wait for his treat. If we go out he will sit by the window in my husband's office and patiently wait for us to come home, looking out the window. Life would be so dull without Snickers; he is a real character."

Today's recipie comes to us from Gamesviller Heartsalone_77 who wants everyone to tase her Chocolate Mug Cake. Heartsalone_77 says, "This is the perfect portion for late night chocolate cravings. The only drawback? Potentially the most dangerous cake recipe in the world, because now you are only 5 minutes away from delicious chocolate cake anytime day or night!" Here's her creation:

Chocolate Mug Cake

• 4 tbsp cake flour
  
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp cocoa
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp milk
• 3 tbsp oil
• Splash of vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)

Combine the dry ingredients in a large coffee mug and mix well. Add in the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in milk and oil and mix until well combined. Add chocolate chips (if desired) and vanilla extract and mix again. Place the mug in microwave and cook on high for cook 3 minutes. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed. Allow to cool, and tip out onto plate or eat right from the mug. Serves 1 (or two if you want to share).

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Cook Time: 3 minutes (depending on microwave)

All will be revealed, Fall 2008.

Business people and politicians everywhere are searching for ways to get the world out of this economic mess. One Japanese train line found the purrrrfect solution: They turned to Tama The Cat (also known as "Super Stationmaster Tama"). The unassuming lil' kitty saved the company AND and brought $10 million in tourism to the local area!

This week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller J.C.H.R.I.S of South Branch, MI. Meet her red friend Jade.

Distinguishing Personality Traits

J.C.H.R.I.S says, "Jade is just over 1 year-old and is full of energy. She loves to chase anything that moves (grass hoppers, bees, butterflies, birds, etc.) and prowls and pounces as if she were a cat. She's very entertaining to watch and will do this for hours without catching anything."

Also, our resident Gamesville poet 83klim submitted a quirky Halloween poem for you all to enjoy:

On Halloween night this would be such a scare;
going outside, I wouldn't dare.
A witch with two horns,a pumpkin, a bat and a cat;
who wouldn't be frightened having seen all that?
Orange and black,are the colors of the day;
Dark cloudy skies, treat-or-treat if you may.
Happy Halloween all you goblins and ghouls;
The nights of the spirits, that is the rule.

Happy Halloween, everyone!
