Cooking with Duncan

The Roo Stew we made yesterday was extremely popular, but it seemed just a tad messy to carry about in the pocket as bribes treats. So today Duncan and I did some experimental cooking. 

First we sliced up most of the Roo Stew meat and put it in the dehydrator. Hopefully that will give us something like jerky - we'll see how it turns out tonight:

Then, we made mini meatballs out of the ground roo. They're just big enough for a pill, about 1/2-3/4" diameter. We baked a cookie sheet full:

And tried frying up the rest:

Both methods seemed to work well. The meat is so lean that it makes a nice firm little ball, and doesn't fall apart.

Duncan was very helpful, licking all the plates and eating all the scraps. When there were no plates or scraps available, he sat and whimpered pathetically, so I would understand that he was starving. This diet might not be as hard for him as we thought!
