Anything that c...Well, Joe, let me put it this way. Anything that come here is here on a limited basis because it has to be barged or flown in. If something comes in that is popular at the time and you aren't fast enough or wise enough to take a large share of it for yourself, you might not see it for a week, two weeks , even a couple months. Butter happens to be the popular thing this month (geeeeee... I wonder why? LOL) Stupid me didn't clue in that they wouldn't bring in more the next week so I am without it. I was thinking they'd be wise enough to know that butter is very popular this season and a guaranteed sell. HA! I've lived here for five years and don't even realize that shopping at our one store is hit or miss, with mostly miss.

Thankfully no guests will be by to see it haha<BR/><BR/>Amy - I'm with you on the movie - weird for sure.<BR/><BR/>Julie - Our TJs was quite low on nuts as well. They are just so cheap there compared to everywhere else. It certainly sounds as if you have been busy! So far it has mainly been for cookies today.<BR/><BR/>thediningdica - Yeah! We are holding them hostage!

Would you believe there is NOOOOOOO butter to be found here right now? Sometimes it really sucks to live in the middle of nowhere. I'll just have to live vicariously through your e-baking.Deetsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261827929150786107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1134400424972487502005-12-12T10:13:00.000-05:002005-12-12T10:13:00.000-05:00We just did our Trader Joe's run last night too. ...We just did our Trader Joe's run last night too. I got the last packages of toasted slivered almonds and dry-toasted chopped pecans, thank goodness. Those save me lots of work in the toasting and chopping department. We ended up spending a fortune at TJ's -- and that was after having done a full grocery shop only two days prior! <BR/><BR/>So far I've made linzer biscotti, triple-gingersnaps, apricot-date-walnut slices, oatmeal with fruit/nuts/chocolate, and dulce de leche bars. Miles to go before I sleep, though. What do you have planned for all that butter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1134354575154983392005-12-11T21:29:00.000-05:002005-12-11T21:29:00.000-05:00OMG, I was worried because I bought 5 packages of ...OMG, I was worried because I bought 5 packages of butter for my cookies!
