I've spotted bags with mold in stores and just given them to an employee so that no one accidentally buys it. If I bought it, I'd take it back if it was convenient to. I wouldn't drive across town for a single loaf of bread.
I do feel as if this brand molds faster than others, but it's also my favorite. I've started freezing it within a day of buying it. I put a piece of parchment paper between the slices, Ziploc it all, then slide the Ziploc in the retail sleeve to make it easy to spot in the freezer. It's easy to grab one or two slices, as needed, and they toast up perfectly.

I like the Canyon Bakehouse Everything Bagels, although they tend to have too much of everything. I always have to give them a bit of a brush off to get rid of some of the excess. One of my most recent packages had so many poppyseeds the bagels were literally black when they came out of the package.

She's definitely leggy! I don't know where she got it from, since I'm just 5'4" and her dad has a long torso. I haven't been able to get her into a Torrid, because she's very cost conscious (prefers to thrift), but maybe I'll just buy some things online and throw them at her to see what sticks 😂

Thank you. We looked in the brick and mortar store and had no luck. I didn't even think about online.

I did try googling today, but the search results came back almost entirely 32". 😒 Thank you for the suggestion of Kohl's. That's a place we haven't yet tried!

I'm also in the PNW and my Costco (east Vancouver, WA) doesn't carry it, but the store across town does. If you have multiple locations near you, it might be worth trying other stores.

The only issue I have with this is why no rice? Every Chinese restaurant I have ever been to has either steamed or fried rice on the side that comes with every entree. Unless you told them to hold the rice, you need to find a new place. Other than that, those entree boxes hold a ton of food. This would be two dinners and a lunch for my family of three. $100 is a great deal for nine meals.

I cook it in water, drain, don't rinse, and throw them in stir fry at the end, right before serving.

I'm in Washington and I've never seen it.
I really hate that we have to make the rounds of every store to find our products. I have to visit four different stores just for the basics...it's exhausting.

I'd love to find the Hawaiian one! Where were you traveling when you found it?

Mold was such an issue for me till I started freezing it. Sometimes I'd lose 3/4 of the package to mold! Now, when I open the package for the first time whatever I'm not using right away gets repacked with a piece of parchment paper between slices and then ziploc bagged and straight into the freezer. From there it's easy to get however many slices I need and they are perfect out of the toaster. It's been such a money saver to do it this way!

You might check the tall Sektion cabinets. You could do two 15" wide with an 18" in the middle. It could be cost prohibitive once you have it all fitted out with doors and so on, but it might be worth looking at. I've used Sektion in the past to recess into wall cavities and create linen closets... No reason they couldn't become "lockers."

I like this better than Freschetta, but they are not in stock at my local stores as often. Freschetta is always there, the Digiorno spot is frequently sold out or down to one two pizzas. For the past month or so has been completely empty every time I have looked.

They've been MIA from my local stores for over a month - I was starting to wonder if there was a recall or something. I miss them so much!

I love Jovial. I usually have to order online, but it's worth it. So much better than the other options in my local store!

This is so funny and sweet, I love it!

Gus Gus is my favorite! 💜

Years back, we adopted a 6 year old Lab & Newfie mix. The previous owners had been calling her Muffin for about a year, because her original name was no longer okay to call out at the dog park. The original name: Isis. :/ There was no way we were okay with a dog named Muffin, but I felt a third name change would be hard on her so we adapted her original name and called her Sis. It was the perfect name for her, and she responded to it from the first day.
Our current dog we adopted as a 1 year old. She's a St Bernard and her name was Claire. Our youngest has a friend named Claire, so we changed it. She's Kami now. It took maybe a weekend of consistently using the name at every opportunity, but she adapted beautifully.

My only symptom that I was aware of was diarrhea and yes, it was enough to make me go gluten free. Being out shopping and having to visit the same store's restroom 4 times in one 30 minute stop was not okay. Having to rush home from an evening walk with my husband - praying all the while that I wouldn't have an accident - was not okay. 100% making the change was worth the improvement in my life, even if I do miss really good pizza and donuts.
As to whether my symptoms are worse now if I do get accidentally glutened? After roughly 2 years gluten free, I don't think they are. I just think I'm more aware of the symptoms. Because, in hindsight, it wasn't just diarrhea - that was just the most obvious thing. It was also bloating, gas, and almost always feeling hungry and full at the same time. Before I went gluten free, I never gave those things any thought, because they weren't as bad as the diarrhea. But now, if I eat something and feel bloated a half hour later, I know what's happened.
I don't think my symptoms are worse; I think I'm more in tune with my symptoms.

"Four trips around the city to different stores" - that's what kills me. I really miss being able to do a week's worth of shopping in ONE store. Not only is gf food more expensive, but it's also more time consuming (and worse for the environment) because we have to spend so much more time driving all over the place just to get our basics. It's exhausting.

That's so smart! I always make it in huge batches because it's work (and I hate cooking) so I want to get the most out of the time spent...But everyone is sick of it by the time we use up the leftovers. I've frozen it before and been annoyed by the block of ice it becomes. I never thought about flash freezing. Thank you!

After my 3rd baby I had an ablation, no periods. That's how I got my 4th baby. 🙄

Thank you!
Same, minus winning the tickets. To this day it is still one of the best shows I've ever been to. He was such a performer!
