Okay, Trader Joe's owns my soul. I just had the frozen tempura I picked up the other day -- fabulous! Between this and the great ground beef and fabulous cookies I got there I am utterly sold.
Sadly, you're only getting 75% of the Trader Joe's experience. The ones in CA would go buy out most or all of the stock of small NoCal wineries which were usually excellent and sell the cases for very cheep. Perfect for skinflints like my father who refuses to pay more than $5 or so for a bottle of wine.
That's one of the few things I miss about CA. They stock wine and liquor in the grocery stores. As long as the doors to Ralphs are open, you can get both orange juice and vodka.
And less problematic than Louisiana where they stock full proof liquor in gas stations.
I've been itching to go to the store but there's always a line to get into the store when I've walked by.
