I just returned from a trip to southern California
with my family and wanted to thank all of you who
have exclaimed the finds from Trader Joe's.  We
took an extra empty suitcase and brought it home
filled with goodies from this store.

We especially are finding a hard time with
ready-made cookies.  At TJ's we found cat shaped
chocolate and cinnamon cookies and alphabet letter
cookies by the tub.  We also purchased meat
marinades and chocolate chips.

Now if I could only figure out how to convince the
folks there to build a store in Missouri!!

If you are fortunate enough to visit LA another
good store we frequented was called Whole Foods.
They have a web page with shopping available.  The
things I purchased there cannot be shipped without
refrigeration :(

Is anyone familiar with Wild Oats??  What kinds of
goodies do they offer for no-milk diets??  Just
found out this chain does exist in Missouri.

Thanks again.  You made one little girl's trip a
happier one :)
