Delicious read, Cathy! Laughing, I'm also not a Trader Joe's advocate - some personal surprises in the past! And I love how you position that it's okay to have different opinions Vs a criticism. Afterall, we have such different experiences, so makes sense! And anything Japanese right now is delice! just having returned from there! xxx

I did have a conversation on a Substack Live yesterday with a woman who lost 140 lbs. and didn't know how to dress herself anymore. I found myself nodding to the things she experienced, because I had felt those same feelings of inadequacy, but in a different form. We're more alike than we are different.

Thank you for sharing your conversation, Ilona. I whole-heartedly agree with you: "We are more alike than we are different." I am so happy you mentioned that!

Aww...thank you, Paulette! I can't imagine anyone not responding to this wonderful woman, but I will happily take this complement...! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I was gonna say -- the first time I read "Japanese cauliflower" and looked at the photo, it looked like cauliflower that's about to bolt. Brilliant marketing. ๐Ÿ˜†

Totally agree about how refreshing it is when an opinion is something to be explored.

Thank you for this laugh, Moorea - I love it! And I'm happy to know you agree about exploring options. I had a feeling you would. ๐Ÿ’•
