I made a road trip yesterday to KC to the new Trader Joes and

used a Groupon to eat at restaurant called Little Egypt. Trader Joes, what can I say. I hadn't been to one in about three years. I stocked up on some things we really liked. I brought along a friend who had never been to one, and I have created a monster, the good kind. We then ate lunch at Little Egypt, and it was the most delicious meal I have had since I moved here. The hummus was fantastic, the flat bread delicious, but the falafel, oh my gosh...absolutely the best I have ever had. What a fun day. We are making a monthly trip to TJs from now on.

Sounds like a great girly day Dawn. Our community pleaded with TJ's for years

to come into our town. It wasn't until we reached over 90,000 population and had a brand new shopping area built one our busiest surface streets that they considered it. They have been here for abot two years now. I love them, for certain things that a regular grocery does not carry.

I will say that, with our store, one must watch the sell- by dates. I have had cheese go moldy on me, and I had not even opened it. Also, I find product that becomes a favorite of mine, and it gets discontinued. I loved, loved their dried pomegranate seeds. All of a sudden they are gone and when I inquired, they told me they did not sell well. I informed them that I bought two packages at a time and the product was wonderful. I have not seen it back in our store.
Have fun with your monthly trips!
