@msgb , I haven't tried the harvest blend tea, is it loose or in bags?

I just returned from TJ's with 5 loaves of the Pumpkin Brioche Twist, I'll wrap two loves in slices and freeze. Three loaves I'm giving to three neighbors. They've helped me tremendously since my dears sister's passing.

It's been rough, I take it day by day and sometimes by each hour.

There had to be over 100 loaves on display with numerous pumpkin products.

@msgb If you fall in love with a seasonal item. TJ will break your heart.

About 10 years ago they had these gingerbread, shortbread cookies. They had them two years running. I bought cases,  They were called Queen Victoria's SOMETHING cookies and came in a cute tin container. At work, my entire department became obsessed. They were that good. 

Then, they discontinued them. 

I mourned for an entire year. I even contacted their buyers to see where they sourced and OEM the cookies. The buyer never got back to me.

So, yah, don't get attached.

Trader Joe's pumpkin brioche makes delicious French toast.

Oh trust me I am aware of the fact that many of the Trader Joe items do not make it to another season. My husband loved their garlic mashed potatoes and we found out not a thing that was coming back. One of the other items that he loved was a breakfast pastry that was braided and had chocolate in it. No longer. 

We learned to get while the getting was good when it came to items we like at Trader Joe's!

He looks as if he deserves every thing, all the time. What an adorable little fellow.

My dear sister and I rescued doggies for over 30 years.

My Angus was rescued 14 years ago, he was near death, when he was healthy, we rescued our Reilley who was also very ill, my Angus accepted him immediately, almost like he was his father, groomed him, played and slept with him, they slept with my dear sister.

My Reilley has just about accepted that my dear sister and my Angus will no longer return, it been difficult for both of us,  however Reilley is doing his best and is devoted to me, he acts as if he's my protector and yes, he is adorable and lovely. He deserves every good thing I can give him, we're in love with each other. 🥰
