The Partridge Family; "I Think I Love You"

Today's Earworm just happens to be The Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You." I just can't get it out of my head!

Trader Joe's Highbrow Chocolate Chip Cookies

Trader Joe's Highbrow Chocolate Chip Cookies are a miracle breakthrough in a store-bought cookie box! With a name like "Highbrow Chocolate Chip Cookies," I couldn't help but wonder what these cookies were all about, so I decided to pick them up during my last Trader's Joe's shopping trip. The Highbrow Chocolate Chip Cookie box itself is super cute and has a very homemade look to it with a hand drawn oven on the side, on top of which says, in pretty cursive writing:

"One Taste...of these crunchy cookies and we knew we were on to something good.  These cookies showcase the power of simple ingredients well-wrought into a classic recipe: great butter + great chocolate chips = Highbrow Cookies." 

There is a lot of truth to that little blurb! Man alive, these cookies are delicious if you like crispy chocolate chip cookies. They taste like they were homemade! I mean, in a pinch, if you had to bring cookies to some event, these could pass as homemade because each cookie is uniquely shaped, just as an individually formed homemade cookie would look coming out of your home oven!  The taste is superb for a store-bought, packaged cookie.  Trader Joe's always manages to sell amazing, high quality food at reasonable prices. For fourteen (net wt. 7 oz/198g) of these yummy Highbrow Chocolate Chip Cookies, Trader Joe's only charges $3.99. That's not bad for the quality ingredients they use and the amazing fresh, homemade taste you get to enjoy from your pantry! There are no hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils in the ingredients, which is very hard to find in a store-bought baked good these days. Even the bakery cookies at supermarkets tend to have hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils in the ingredients list, which deters me from buying them.  But, now I am hooked on Trader Joe's Highbrow Chocolate Chip Cookies--and I don't usually like store-bought cookies! I tend to just make my own because they taste better to me, but if you don't have time to make your own cookies, these will satisfy any craving for a homemade chocolate chip cookie...and yes, your eyebrows will raise up high when you bite into one of these babies, because you'll be shocked at how tasty they really are!

Lucky Supermarket, My Lucky Day!

Today, I was a frazzled-in-a-rush mom with "high frequency memory loss." After doing some quick grocery shopping at Lucky Supermarket, I was scurrying to load my groceries into my car. In my frantic pace, somewhere along the line, I totally forgot one small bag in the shopping cart or elsewhere and drove home to unload my goodies. It was then that I realized that I forgot some items! I guess I just didn't see the last bag in the shopping cart: a small canvas reusable bag filled only with two small tins of shoe polish and waterproofer. (That should have been my first clue that I would forget that stuff, since those aren't things I normally buy at the grocery store!)

Anyway, I rushed back to Lucky after I put all my groceries away. I darted to the customer service desk and waited in line. The lady that checked me out was at the customer service counter now and she recognized me immediately. As soon as I started talking, "Excuse me, I was just here and I bought some..." she pulled out my canvas bag and said, "I think I forgot to give this bag to you." Man oh man was I happy! I told her thank you and I was just ecstatic that no one walked off with it in the parking lot! That just goes to show that there are still a lot of honest, nice people out there!

Thank you so much Lucky Supermarket for holding onto my missing bag and waiting for me to drive back to claim it! Thank you so much to the good samaritan (a Lucky employee or fellow shopper, perhaps?) who turned in my bag to the Lucky customer service counter--you made my day! I really appreciate it!! It really was my lucky day today despite my frantic, rushing, forgetful mom mode!
