Hope for Hampton Roads
Oh. My. God.
TJ's IS COMING!!!
a Trader Joe's is coming to the new Jefferson Commons shopping centre. I've never been so happy to see a chain in my life. If there are any TJ 'must have's', leave a comment!

Do you know if that's the only city they are coming to. I have heard a rumor that they might be here in VA Beach. I am like you, I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!
Oh man, where to begin. How about the famous 2 buck chuck? The Shaw wines :) Though maybe not 2bucks anymore...
And their awesome cookie bins. They have these awesome mint meringue cookies and ginger snaps too!
I'm jealous. I use to shop at the one in Westport, CT and miss it quite a bit. That one didn't sell wine, though. I'm sure if they ever opened one in Texas, they'd sell booze.....just not before noon on Sundays.
I'm at TJs at least once a week! I love the store. Congrats on getting one in your area!
Vicki, this news article was my first alert. I would be so pleased to hear that TJs has descended upon the area like a swarm of locusts! Lol, we should be so lucky.
Mona, I've actually heard that it will be Three Buck Chuck over here, due to shipping costs. That's okay, as DucCat and I already have our inexpensive house pour (Pacific Peak Chardonnay, if you are curious).
Anna, I gotta tell you, as someone who has lived in Europe and other places here in the States, I find VAs liquor laws amusing. ABC stores... yeah,Virginia, thanks for making me feel like a crackhead for visiting the liquor store. A unique Virginia experience, that's for sure.
Maureen, I LOVE cilantro, so will be on the lookout for this salad!
Oh Hampton Roads, could this be the start of something fabulous? ;)
Joe- I aspire someday to have the freedom to make some of the meals that tumble across your tables. Perhaps I'll be able to do so, without having to plan weeks in advance.
TJs,- I am so verkumpft.
wow! this is the best news i've heard in soooooo long. not that i WANT to go all the way out to Patrick Henry, but oh my god, i absolutely will. so. many. things. at least now i won't have to bribe my mother into sending me TJs care packages.

Glory! I adore TJs, and I'm at my little branch in Seattle at least once a week. More often, if I'm honest.
Here goes:
--their dark chocolates are surprisingly good.
--fresh salsa (not the other kinds)
--blue cheese/sundried tomato strata
--soy bean and flaxseed chips
--lite popcorn
--fresh juices
--organic whole chickens
That should be a start.
I'm looking forward to reading about your purchases! (I love the photos on your site lately.)
Plantain chips! They shelve them with tortilla and potato chips. Sometimes they're hanging by little clips at the front of the shelves. It's a small bag. Yummy!
