TJ's also has what I think is the best whole wheat pasta, and I like their jarred marinara. I tend to avoid the produce -- maybe it's different in different places, but at the DC one and the one near my parents in NJ, the produce tends to get moldy or otherwise gross within a few days of buying it.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

I don't care for the TJs produce just because of all the extra packaging. Also, after an experience with grain moths, I stay away from their pasta, etc.

I've found good tea at TJs.
Oh,yes, their ginger tea is the best. Many ginger teas tend to be black tea with some ginger flavor, but theirs is more like ginger and water. It's my favorite when I'm sick.

The maple syrup they sell in the wine bottle is the best I've had.

And what's with all the carrots?
Wow, thanks for all of the suggestions!
I am lunching on TJ's chicken fajita, banana and a square (or two) of milk chocolate. Not a lot of chicken in this fajita, but I'm ok with that.
Since our nights are often spent running to wrestling/soccer/swimming (add in the boy's violin concert tomorrow)--my menu of quick and nutritious meals was getting boring.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whut? But you're Canadian, brenda! How can that be?

Skipping to thank Sarameg for having my back while assembling wedding pics...I always thought there was an extra little irony in that The Wire took so many shots of that while being defined by another addictive white powder.

I know! But it's nom. It's probably because I never tried the B grade before this.
