Former neighbor girl T is gonna come visit me this Sunday! She's figured out the buslines (one which stops at the end of my street) if her dad can't come. I'm unreasonably excited!

The frozen chocolate croissants. The mini plain ones are good too. And oh how I miss the walnut gorgonzola ravioli they used to have.
See, a lot of what I get at Trader Joe's is frozen, so recommendations for those aren't going to be much help to Dana and DH.
I made the weekly Trader Joe's run today, actually, and here's what I got:
sushi
mango berry muffins
english muffins
string cheese
"Pub cheese" (spreadable cheddar in a tub, like kaukauna cheese)
strawberries
blueberries
spinach
pistachios
frosted mini-wheats
chocolate-filled cereal
1/2 & 1/2
Joe-Joe's cookies
frozen vegetarian corn dogs
frozen veggie burgers
baked cheese crunchies
So, a lot of it is stuff I could have gotten at any grocery store (berries, spinach, 1/2 & 1/2, nuts), but I buy it at TJs because the prices are generally better, the quality of the food is generally better, and I'm already there so I might as well grab the blueberries while they're in front of me.
All that said, there is some damn fine TJ-specific stuff to be had.
I miss them so. Our closest neighborhood one closed
So I'm freaking out about $$, and I think I'm about to be hit up for more by a friend. Of course.

This is how I feel about them. And, mind you, I won't move because I am across the street from Trader Joe's. It's just great food at great prices.
Or maybe not. I dunno.
I am eating TJs taquitos right now, AIFG!
My dinner: TJs sushi (lobster roll -- new!), followed by blueberries from TJs, and baked cheese crunchies (my new downfall) from TJs.
Watch me as I whore for TJs.
Shhhhh! The cephalopods are listening!
