You mean...can you get there from where your father is? Uh, yes, through the miracle of modern transportation, why yes you can! Does it seem that far?

Nah....just an old corny joke!

edit - it is 8 miles from my dad house to your town...and 7 miles from dads house to lawren's TJs - in the other direction.

Emmy I am thrilled I have to schedule the TJ shopping (it's 20 minutes away) or I would weigh over 200lbs. Actually if they would stop stocking the pretzel num-nums I'd be fine. I usually shop healthy there for the most part.

Lawren, last week they were giving samples out of tiny Pretzels with TJ's sunflower seed butter. We must have been hungry because we bought both.

When I buy mochi I always buy one carton more than I plan to put in the refrigerator.

That's because every time I buy mochi, I always arrive home with one carton less than I loaded into the car.

Not really. I hate these very big stores with enormous quantities of food but I buy my feral cat food at Costco because it is good quality and less expensive than ordinary cat food.

Trader Joes used to be owned by a German guy who traveled in Europe and was buying up wine and cheese everywhere and the prices were very low in the store.

It was fun to try his cheeses and wines but often, the bottles had the cork taste in the wine so you had to dump the bottle immediately but TJ's would always refund you the money so there was no risk to try something else. We loved going to this store and then they started to have more in our area and from there to other cities and States. The stores are really very different now from what it used to be.

Yes! Come on over, just let me know when.

Trader Joe's is more like Whole Foods, but without the attitude. (Sorry...I love Whole Foods, and both Whole Foods and TJ's have good items and nice staff, but you know what I mean.) It's not at all like Costco.
