Never been in a Trader Joe's, and fully realize that they are very wanted here, but can't get the picture. Anyone willing to tell me one more time why you love this store?
Gracie, I think there have been plenty of answers to your questions in the past about what's great in TJ's, including my own. You could do a search. To repeat, some day I will bring you and Helene a plastic carton of their fabulous cinnamon/sugar graham crackers and a box of their unbelievably scrumptious tomato/red pepper soup. And their frozen whatever-it's-called--kind of like a pizza, but with flaky crust topped with lovely cheese and shavings of ham. Every time I serve it for an appetizer, people want the recipe. Plus they have the same frozen chocolate croissants that you can mail-order at three times the price from Williams-Sonoma. I could go on, but please do a search.

I'm in for the request; thanks for the link, villager.
