My cousin took me there when I visited her a few years ago. It's 100+ miles from where I live. Bummer.

shopping there.

But cheese is one thing that will last a long time and I savor it.

Sadly, we just ate the last of the TJ's cheese over the weekend and won't be able to get more for about 2 months.

they would load up a box with cheese, fill it with dry ice and mail it to me.

I mean, if they truly cared.

I go every weekend and this weekend I'll look at the cheese. The pot stickers are off the hook though. And a few other things.

produce - mangoes, pineapples, apples, pears, bananas, sometimes grapes, little bags of carrots, big stalks of brussels sprouts (when they are in season), recently some nice seedless watermelon, off season the Bruno Rosso tomatoes - and when they have them, packages of yellow grape/cherry tomatoes

raspberry jam, tall bottles of real maple syrup, whole wheat pasta, peanuts, raisin medley, big bottles of Balsamic and Olive Oil, some of the really good cereals with a good glycemic index (fruit and fiber, flax flakes), soy, rice and almond milk, Turkey Jerky (yum)....frozen Indian entrees (chana masala, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, naan bread)....vanilla soy ice cream and soy ice cream sandwiches, OJ, the cheese I showed above....formerly baked cheese crunchies (on withdrawl), the big blocks of dark chocolate, tea tree oil soap, and the nice Prosecco with the cork coming out the top.

Pretty standard - we always end up at around 50.00 (so not all of the above, but the above is pretty much our buy list for there)
