Yesterday’s Bread and Breakfast

I started my day with a cheddar and herb bagel with melted Havarti and some peppermint tea.

The bagel was large AND in charge. Superstore’s bakery section rocks.  Lipton’s peppermint tea because my stomach was iffy and its the only tea I've found and liked that has a string . String is very important

Then after mucho time wasted on Twitter , I thought about the bag of pumpkin I had froze the last time I opened a can of it.

And I made …
