So, like most earthlings, I have a bucket list. No, I haven't posed it online. Mostly its boring and full of goals like "be more organized" and "sew more things." But last weekend I got to experience one of the more specific goals on my list.

Now, before you go "wha?" and screw your face up like I'm crazy, let me explain. To a strictly organic hippie and sometimes-vegetarian like myself, Trader Joe's is like a 24-hour Apple boutique that also sells chic matching iPhone covers to a Hipster who just found $1000 lying in an open gutter. Or Trader Joe's can be likened to a bookstore to someone who was read only half of the first "Game of Thrones" and suddenly has access to purchase the ending. Or a glass of cool, refreshing water to a desert traveler...or a lifeboat to a drowning....okay, you get the idea.
It was everything
Sabrina
and others have told me it was! Sadly I couldn't buy any cold products,
but I did purchase some naan and other dried goods!

In short, I loved it. Trader Joes, why are you not in my town? Why, why, I ask? I love your brightly colored organic soups and amazingly yummy naan bread...please, please, I beg of you.... build here. I promise not to shop anywhere else. Well, except the farmers market. And Krogers. Because, I love my Krogers.
I was able to visit this amazing store because I was two hours away from my home, participating in a very lovely wedding with my best friend. Who has now been married for almost a week. Ahh, the honeymoon phase.
This was my first visit to Trader Joe's. It shall not be my last, unless fate decides to tragically part us.
*If you know me in real life, please go to the
Trader Joe's website and request one to be built here. Please. I mean, it only takes like 5 minutes. Whats holding you back?

haha, I've never been! You know you can make naan bread at home...you just need a certain kind of stone to put in your normal oven, I made it with my aunt one time. :P We're having an Indian food themed party next week with spices and ingredients imported from Malaysia--you should come! :)
i have tried to get them to build one in huntsville, as in, i have filled out the form. but alas, there is not one in the making. maybe one day.
Come visit Charlottesville. We have a TJs and a Whole Foods. :)
So, which Trader Joe's did you go to - the one in Charlottesville? And how does it compare to Whole Foods?
