Happy Birthday! / Cookies / btw

[Catlady (Rita Prince Winston)]

Happy Birthday (2 hr 10 min from now, my time), Devika!

Hey, Penny, I'm sad that I missed your birthday (because of being out 
of town). November 4 is my brother's birthday and November 5 is my 
friend Lee's husband's birthday.

Those from Southern California know that Trader Joe is a chain of 
stores that sell unexpected and wonderful groceries at economical 
prices. Their advertising flyer is named the Fearless Flyer. The 
latest issue announces a new product: Wizard Hats Butter Cookies. 
"Our cookie buyer has been reading everyone's favorite wizard 
stories, the Harry Potter books, and found her inspiration for our 
new Wizard Hat Cookies in the first book. They're classic butter 
cookies, shaper like sorceror's hats and decorated with stars, 
spirals, and moons. They're made with butter, organic flour, and all 
natural ingredients. The flavor is delicated and you really taste the 
butter. Don't save these for the kids! Keep some handy for a treat 
while you're decorating, wrapping packages, or writing holiday cards."

I realize that that sounds like a movie tie-in, but I don't think 
it is: they have NEVER done a movie tie-in before.

Btw, how long has it been since anyone's heard from Voicelady 
(Jeralyn)? She's a New Yorker so I'm worried.
