My Trader Joe’s Wish List

March 24th, 2009 | 4 Comments |

I love Trader Joes. Living in Florida without easy access to a store (the closest is in Atlanta) has made me sad on more than one occasion. To that end I am putting together a wishlist of their offerings for which replacement are hard to find so when those of you in close proximity to a TJ’s begin to feel guilty you will have all you need to ease your conscience :-)

all guilt easing gifts should be directed to:
Giving Trader Joes to Friends Without, Makes Me a Better Person
1003 Arlington Avenue N Suite 1
St. Petersburg, Florida 33705

Much thanks to all who have sent some Trader Joes goodness my way. It’s like hugs for my tummy!

And now the list:

Go Raw Trail Mix
Flattened Bananas
Dried White Peaches
Creamy Corn and Roasted Red Pepper Soup
Iced Cranberry Dunkers
Marinated Bean Salad
Steamed and Peeled Baby Beets
Artichoke Antipasto
Zinfandel Port
Other Random goodness for a surprise

And some visual aids to ease your gathering:

: Artichoke Antipasto

: Zinfandel Port

: Bean Salad

: Oatmeal Cranberry Dunkers

: Baby beets

: Creamy Corn & Roasted Red Pepper Soup

: Flattened banana

: Dried White Peaches

: Go Raw Trail Mix

I’m not a big fan of Charles Shaw wines… I much prefer choosing from the rest of the selection in the store… however if a case of Charles Shaw were to show up on my doorstep I would gladly accept and throw a party to introduce my Florida mates to one of the icons of Trader joe’s goodness!

I was first introduced to TJ’s when I worked in Los Angeles once a month. It didn’t have the cult following then, I just thought it was a neat neighborhood grocery store. I would stop on Supulveda Blvd on the way to LAX and load up; of course that was when you could bring all kinds of stuff on the plane.

I have friends in my cooking group who send me TJ’s care packages now and then. I tricked my husband into going to the grand opening of TJ’s in Roswell, GA a few years ago.

I was going through quite a drought while in Florida… much better now that I’m in NYC with TJ’s a 10 minute walk away.. though the lines can be crazy long at times

How far are you from a TJ’s?

Brooklyn Bound

I have accepted a position in New York City and will be moving to Brooklyn later this week! (You should picture me dancing about bubbling with excitement as you hear those words) For those of you that hadn't heard it is a recent development... less than a week since the offer. So there has been a frantic pace of apartment hunting with this Clinton Hill duplex the front runner: I am also tempted by high rise living.. something about a corner apartment on the 40 somethingith floor of a mid-town building..... So I'm furiously packing and trying to remember ...

Lost

Over the US Thanksgiving Day weekend I finally had the opportunity to catch up on Lost. I've made it through seasons 4 & 5 and am now working on season 1, with 2-3 to follow. Present Theories: Jacob is the father trying to raise his child. A loose parallel of Christian and Jack. The Island is a prison: Jacob and "friend" are in the prison. Jacob is a warden whos "powers" can escape the island. I've come up with a list of questions for which I'd like to find answers: How is Jin hopping thorough time in Season 4 with the other Island persons but ...

Saint Petersburg Sunrise

I finally made my way to Tampa Bay's water's edge to catch a sunrise. I liked it more than the sunsets... There felt more of an activity about at least with the birds and the dolphins. Pelicans and seagulls were swooping about and the dolphins were friskily feeding. Aside from a lone tug boat heading out to the Gulf of Mexico there was little human activity seen on the water. I had also forgotten how long it takes for the sun to cross the horizon once the eastern sky begins to lighten. I was ...
