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.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm obsessed with the Bett's Cheddar and Horseradish spread. Luckily, it's all gone now....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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!!

Jewel! I remember Jewel. I used to get a logo sucker every time Mom cashed a check there with me in tow.

K-Bug is working at TJ's today during the rainpocolyps. She is a courtesy clerk - bagging, chasing carts, helping customers as needed. She took 3 sweatshirts and a rain poncho. I'm thinking of sending her directly into a hot shower when she gets home.

It is just "Jewel," but I had to be a Chicagoan and turn it into "the Jewels." It's a local dialect thing that I love to play up when I can. ChiKat likes to mock me in my Chicagoese--I was showing her pics from my sister's wedding on my computer and pointing out fun shots ("That's a good one there...I like that one there...") and she kept on saying "Where is it, Kathy? Where???" Also, she giggled when I asked a friend of hers "Where do you work at?"
