Oh & I got cherries at the grocery. I didn't think they were in season, this is a first. Of course, they are from Chile.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I was supposed to have chili for dinner, but I went to Trader Joe's, so I ate too many cheese and crackers. Yum cheese and crackers.
My cats don't like the vacuum, but they surprised me by acting fairly indifferent about the Roomba, provided it doesn't go near their bowls.
oh Trader Joes. How very great and bad you are. I got lovely red and green oak leaf lettuce. I also got harissa cheddar cheese. Best. Cheese. Ever.
I'm obsessed with the Bett's Cheddar and Horseradish spread. Luckily, it's all gone now....
I just got cheddar with caramelized onion bits in it from TJs--haven't had any yet, but am expecting Teh Yum.
Scrappy has my second favorite cheese from TJ's . My favorite is the white Stilton with apricots
It's hard to get cheese at the Manhattan TJ's when it's crowed (always), because the lines go right in front of the cheese/meat/etc. section. I had to ask someone in the other line to grab my cheese spread for me.
What I love is the cash register people there. They're always so nice and engaging. When I asked the guy today how he was (in response to his asking me) he said, "Well, as usual, I didn't have to wait in line for 20 minutes to get here, so I'm doing pretty good!"
when we had the grocery strike a few years back it looked like soviet russia inside Trader Joes. I made it to the front of the line and the clerk said, "hi" and started checking through my order.
I said teasingly, "aren't you going to ask me if I found everything, OK?"
The clerk sighed, "oh thank goodness, a regular!"
I just dropped nearly $100 at the Jewels and ended up with a bagger who didn't care if he threw the bread in with some of the canned goods (I had to tell him to put them in a separate bag), and then didn't bother double-bagging all of the canned goods so that I had two bags shred before I even got into the apartment building. Grr.
But, at least I got the supplies for some decent chili cooking tomorrow!!
