Hey, SL. I'll be happy to pick up some Macadamias for you. They have packages of raw pieces just for baking. FRmail your new address to me if you want me to get some for you.
Trader Joe's is specialty grocery-type store. They carry a lot of the usual stuff like milk, bread, eggs, other dairy products, produce. Their selection is more limited than you'd see in a major supermarket, but their prices for everyday items can't be beat. They also have a lot of their own line of unique items under their label - interesting teas, snack items, toiletry items, vitamins and other supplements, cut flowers, potted plants like orchids, frozen foods and such. They carry a lot of unique and delicious itmes. There are an awful lot of Volvos and Mercedes in the parking lot - I pull up in my 1998 Chrysler Sebring and park next to the most expensive car I can find!
A few months ago I saw a family that was using their own recycled bags, and had a cart full everything organic possible. Then they proceeded to load their purchases into the back of a huge, brand new SUV. When I saw them, I was guessing I'd see them driving a 20-year old Volvo station wagon.
You gotta chuckle at the liberals' oblivion to their own hypocrisy.
FReepmail on the way.
