Good Food, Good Company

Saturday
Beckah came over with Village Wok for lunch. Oy. That was a descent into mind-numbing goodness. Alli was trying to stab her chicken at one point, where a piece nearly flew off her plate. Yes, she's still learning to use her 'chiny sticks' as she calls them.

In order to walk off some of the calories consumed from lunch we had agreed beforehand that I would take Beckah and Jenn to Trader Joe's for their first taste there. We picked up Jenn and heading onto Trader Joe's.

4:20pm
We are finally inside Trader Joe's after fighting through the traffic and circling the parking lot 1 full time.
TJ = Specialty food store galore with low-cost, organic, low fat, varieties of foods. Seriously, when you can get 64oz of vanilla/chocolate/original soy milk for $2.49; or yummy pumpkin spice sorbet for $2.99; or garlic naan bread for $1.99; many different specialty cheeses - like goat herb, Dubliner, smoked jack, Cotswold (pub cheese), gruyere, and fabulous fruity stilton....yummm...most less than $4.99 for a large chunk.

Anyways... it's packed. Even after 4pm on Saturday. The yuppies are out and about in full force. Some of the shelves are empty, especially some of the bread baskets. Sigh.

It's not the way I wanted to present TJ to B & J, but they seemed to go with the flow of the traffic. I'm just sorry we didn't have more room to browse. Seriously, there were aisles that were 3 people deep on each side; case in point being the frozen foods section. Alli almost got run over on our way back from the bathroom. Ahhh... NOW I remember why we usually go only on Sunday mornings bright and early.

We made it out and headed back here so they could get out to the Y to work out. HA! You can't use visiting me as an excuse to avoid working out. Nanny nanny boo boo... :P ;)

They made it back later for pizza - homemade except for the crust. Believe me, anything you guys want with mushrooms, you can make sure to take home. hehehe.

I have to say, it'd been a while since I'd laughed so hard. :)
