Trader Joe's

Joanna mentioned that Minneapolis/St. Paul is getting their first Trader Joe's. Although I've heard the name, I didn't know what is *was*, exactly. Fortunately, she sent me an excellent NYT article. Now I'm green - GREEN - with envy! It's essentially a small chain of grocery stores, started in California, that specialize in wine, cheese, and hard-to-find imports. Their employees travel the world looking for exotic delicacies to import or re-create. I believe there's one in Chicago. I think I hear a road trip calling!
