Jake’s and my first early morning walk of 2026 was in the rain.
Spunk: “For people who want to know how to make a kitty concoction to start the new year, first, the pesky paparazzo has to do photos of me looking adorable in the stock pot.
“Then we soak black-eyed peas overnight before cooking them the next morning.”
“We cook the meat, vegetables and spices separately, and mix them into the black-eyed peas. Lastly, we add greens to the kitty concoction, stir them in until they wilt into the mix, and, Voilà!, the black-eyed peas are ready to eat on New Year’s Day for good luck.”
Happy New Year! Or Not!

A purr-fectly delicious recipe featuring all the right ingredients, Tim!
Thanks, Bruce.
They are adorable pictures.
Thanks, Robbie.
Spunk’s lucky he didn’t get boiled for stock! Happy new year Tim.
He was all stocked. Thanks, Miriam.
This is funny. Had a good chuckle. Long as SPunk gets out the pot… and I know he will.. So cute.
Thanks, Shey.
The best helpers in the kitchen 😻 Have a wonderful new year!
They are so helpful. Thanks, Ribana.
Love those kitties! Happy new year to all of you.

Thanks, Rehoboth.
Looks a refreshing way to start the new year. Cute photos! I took black-eyed peas to my cousins on New Years Eve, then we forgot to eat them. 😂 Will try again this weekend.
You must have been having a good time. Thanks, Michele.
Oh Tim, I do wish I was your neighbour. Delicious meals and wonderful company.
That would be great. It’s nice that we can be virtual neighbors. Thanks, Rebecca.
It is indeed, Tim!!!
Adorable.
Thanks, Gigi.

Happy New Year!
All the kitties look adorable! Happy New Year, Tim, Laurie and all the critters!
Happy New Year, Lavinia.
At least you didn’t cook Spunkie-Poo 💋 into the stew!
I hope it brings you lots of luck!
Although, the other cats don’t look convinced. Does Tycho kitty live with you, now?
Misha wishes all of you, yours and especially all your kitties a wonderful year ahead!
Tycho doesn’t live with us. Lane brings him to Laurie’s parents’ house when we get together. Misha is beautiful.
Ahh, Tycho visits!
I love Misha so much. She let me pick her up and kiss her today. It was brief. She felt so soft and fluffy.
AND when certain sunlight hits her, her grey fur looks blueish.
Hello 2026! Wonderful post! Happy New Year!
Thanks, Julie.
