Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's

Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party.  It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her.  Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th.  I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time.  One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table.  I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time.   People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...

Trader Joe's Pumpkinpalooza 2018

It's dropped y'all.  Pumpkin goodness abounds at Trader Joe's and I didn't even get all of it but here's a peep of what you can expect to see.

Pumpkin cheesecake and...


...pumpkin marble mousse!  Yes, please!

Pumpkin ginger cones.


If we weren't going to two other stores, we totally would've gotten those.  Must go back for them.

Then you have the mecca


Pumpkin waffles, Pumpkin Ice Cream, Pumpkin Bar and sweet potatoes and butternut squash items.

The beauty holy grail...


They nailed it..."as gourd as it gets."  Get a few tubs of this stuff.  Give it to whoever is hosting Thanksgiving, give it to your boss when you ask for a raise, give it to your stone hearted mother in law if you have one, it will make your life better.

Apple Cider foaming hand soap is available too.


Then you'll proceed to sniff your hands the rest of the day like Mary Catherine Gallagher.

The pups can get in on the act too. 

(SB, note the TFT rocketing over the pumpkin on the right box!)

Then in addition to pumpkin butter, they have this...


If you like carrot cake, this could be dangerous.  You and a spoon in a dark corner.

That's just a taste of what you'll find.  I'd be thrown out for being a paparazzi if I took any more pics. 

What's your favorite TJ's pumpkin product?

    I've never actually made it in to the TJ's by my folks' this time of year so none of their pumpkin stuff for me. I do like pumpkin *almost* everything though. Coffee, cereal (pumpkin spice Life = yum), bread... I tried pumpkin spice ham last year and that wasn't a winner, and neither was the pumpkin pie yogurt.

    Love it! I started seeing some pumpkin stuff in the stores as well, but nothing like TJ's! I really like pumpkin bread and pumpkin pie the most. I'm happy to say the dogs get 100% pure pumpkin every morning on the dry food and they love it. I have five cans in my cupboard now. It's supposed to be cooler by next weekend (we'll see) and if it is, I plan on going to the apple orchard for the first time on Monday to stroll and peruse when it's not quite so busy. I'll be all over their apple butter and will have to see if they have pumpkin butter -- I actually can't remember.

    My favorite TJ Pumpkin item is the icecream. It's very, very good!
