Guess who came for a visit!!!

A few days ago I was pawing through my blog post comments and I got a comment from my dear furiend Nellie that made me quite worried!

It was on my blog post from July 17th 

Cody, Jo-Jo is driving me nustso, next Market day (Friday) can mes comes and visit yous?
Kisses
Nellie

After reading that angst-filled comment, I could NOT get Nellie off of my mind!!!!

How could a man cat say no???? I could tell from this photo and the blog post that Nellie wrote about it that she needed help....AND FAST!!

This is Jo-Jo!!

That I told her she could DEFINITELY come and visit me!!

After we played dress up

We had a little snuggle time!!!

Then....

and then....

Don't let her fool you, we had a purrfect time!

I am hoping that Nellie comes back soon!!

"Beary Good Stuff" Is Better Than "Beary Good!!!"

With Thanksgiving in the U.S. still fresh on our waistlines it is only appropriate that we continue our food fest and talk about some delicious products  from Beary Good Stuff which happens to be owned and operated by none other than Barb Kowalik (you know her best as the mischievous Nellie and Kozmo's Mom from  Cat From Hell) and her husband Dave.

You can visit her blog here!

A couple of months (or so) ago I was the incredibly lucky recipient of all of this!

The items we received from left to right:
Blueberry Garlic Jelly, Beet Horseradish Relish
and Tequila Jalapeno Jelly

Barb had quite the good luck streak going when she won prizes on BOTH of my blogs (Cat Chat and Dakota's Den). Neither she nor I could believe her good fortune! 

As a  (completely unexpected and  unnecessary, but MUCH APPRECIATED!!) "thank you" Barb sent me jars of deliciousness as well as a sweet thank you note:

 This was created by Barb!!!

Her thoughtful "thank you" note
accompanied the box of deliciousness!

She even gave Cody a treat!
Noooo! It isn't what you think!
No Feds will be coming here anytime soon!
It's fresh, homegrown CATNIP!

The item we tried and LOVED
was the Blueberry Garlic Jelly!
It is their #1 Seller!
We used it as a marinade for turkey breast
and it was delicious!

The next two items we haven't tried yet,

but trust me, we will....SOON!

The Tequila Jalapeno Jelly was new this past summer.

 Barb says that it's not too hot,

and that it  makes a terrific cheesecake!

The Beet Horseradish Relish

Barb said that this is an old family recipe.

She also says that It's not hot.

These items would all make unique Holiday gifts!

Some of my favorite gifts to give and receive

at the Holidays are "foodie" gifts!

The gift of food is a gift given with love!

They would also make wonderful hostess gifts!

To learn more about these and other products

that Barb has available, 

you can visit Beary Good Stuff right here. 

When you do, tell Barb and Dave 

that Cody, Dakota and Caren say hi!!
