Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'll repost the picture.

Ooh, cool, if you still have it.

I'm gonna be a Trader Joe's heretic and say that while there are great things I like there, for regular grocery shopping it just does not work for me. We don't eat much in the way of pre-made foods, and I end up buying a lot of treats when we go there (expensive cheeses, candy) and I still have to go to the Kroger for staples anyway. So I am on a "once a month" TJ's schedule. (There are some things from there that are staples for me now - Blenheim apricots, petite peas, french green beans - but none of them need to be bought more than once a month.)

was a pretty mega douche move,

I didn't think that was douchey. I thought that it was deliciously evil and fitting.

Louisiana should be (and is) Abita. No one drinks Dixie.

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

I very much dug Lie to Me last night. The look on Lightman's face when he admitted he loved Gillian was wonderful.

Oh, me neither. I mainly use them for snacks or frozen stuff/simmer sauces to keep around for "emergency" meals. I think I'd shop there more if I were single and not cooking for a family.

Ann, that's a ferret.

No one drinks Dixie.

I guess times have changed. When I was in college, it was the beer of choice.

I wouldn't do my regular shopping there, not enough selection. OTOH, I cook for myself a lot, but there are a lot of wonderful options for people who don't/dont want to cook. I love their frozen bags of pasta, and their wine :)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I will say, many of TJ's staples are cheaper than my supermarket -- milk, and dry pasta, for two. I basically alternate between the two, unless there's something specific I need at one place or the other (I will never again buy toilet paper at TJ's!).
