Yay IE tabbing.

I have This little jewel in one tab....

this delicious morsel in the next one.

It is begging me to write a post. Taunting me. Daring me.

If this wasn't so painful to discuss...in (literally) a heartbeat.

The fact the conversation took some VERY tricksy turns at dinner on Saturday? Doesn't help. (Oh discuss weighty matters with folks who take X-rays for a living. You won't get much acceptance...unless you can get into the headspace and realize that it IS acceptance...and grieving...at the same time.)

I'm giving you guys the coin. Flip it.

Trader Joe's has begun phasing out some products from China.

The discount natural-foods retailer has discontinued single-ingredient items from mainland China but will continue to carry products that have an ingredient from China in their makeup.

Affected products include edamame, or fresh green soybeans, and others.

Well, then.

In the ongoing battle on who gets your grocery dollars - who's listens to you when you ask for something?

I keep saying caitlin and terredancer should ring up the corporate office and ask them for a new store near them. I think they'd do it. This is why.

"Trader Joe's is often a little ahead of its time or is at the forefront of the curve. Any supermarket chain, if they could, would like to do the same thing if it's feasible," he said.

But big chains are terrified of price increases, he said.

"They're afraid people will leave them for a penny."

I worked for Coca-Cola, and still have that BIL who works for Nestle. This is absolutely true, and if you doubt me, go check Wall-Mart on sale paper day.

I love hummus. I've said this. I love hummus more than ice cream, which good - because I can eat nearly all the hummus I want, and ice cream? On WW? Not so much.

See the little pretzel chip and hummus dip cups in the foreground? DUDE. Portable snack. Portable snack that takes longer to eat than five minutes, will keep me happy for hours and get this...2 POINTS.

Chips. Dip. Two points.

And it comes in at least three flavors.
