This has begun to seem like a weblog in praise of a grocery store. Maybe it is.

Today St. Bert and I took the Trader Joe's plunge. It was orgaxmix. For me, anyway. This is what St. Bert has to say: "Try the Aronia Juice, and don't fall for the candy in the check-out aisle." (We did fall, to the tune of 10 fruit leathers for 27¢ apiece and 2 chocolate bars. And one bottle of Aronia juice, which is waterier than pure cranberry, but still tarty. Pretty good after the first try-face sip. And supposed to be better for your bod than cranberry or blue.) We also got some mandarin orange sparkling water (89¢ ), caramel corn, cheddar and gouda cheeses, greek yogurt, good earth tea, avocados, triple shot exxxpressso, ginger snaps, thai food box, and quinoa. We told old Trader Joe's tales and reminisced about Boston and Maryland. It was good.

Despite the mad madhouse New Yorkers lined up like lines to love it, I love it too.
