Yikes sorry to hear that Me...I can relate to physcal limitations. I know all to well how frustrating that can be!! Sounds like you have some interesting ideas!! I read an article not long ago about how some of those local programs I just mentioned (are you familiar w/them???) weren't run as well as they could have, but how they should have asked from help from those originally doing it and beign succesful at it. I liked the community feel of it!

When I first read TJ's, I was thinking TJ Mac and wondering when they started selling groceries with dresses and shoes, lol! Trader Joes is great but my favorite is Whole Foods!! Love love love their deli and everything in it!

Yeah but Kappy, TJ's is like 1/4 the price of Whole Foods....actually probably less! Whole Foods is def better for fresh veggies, but I'd take TJ's freezer section over Whole Foods even if they prices were the same. And the pastries at Whole Foods are to die for (but they discontinued that amazing almond cream cake damn them). But probably just as well for my body lolol. And of course their fresh proteins are amazing, but I can't afford them. But hey, we all are entitled to our favs! BTW what is a TJ Mac? LOL never heard of it (and I DID spell out Trader Joes first post and said I'll be calling it TJ's from here on out...ah my lazy typing fingers hehe).

Me_Poster - While I'm not a farmer, I do live in a rural parish in South Louisiana and we have a wonderful "truck" farm here. She grows the most fabulous tomatoes, mustard greens, bell peppers, red potatoes, okra, cucumbers, swiss chard, etc..... After Hurricane Gustav all of the larger stores in Baton Rouge were completely out of tomatoes and unable to get them. Whole Foods called her and wanted to buy her entire crop - she told them no thank you, she said that her local customers had stood behind her for years and she couldn't do that to us...... She goes to the Baton Rouge Farmers market on Saturdays and always has the longest lines of any vendor. I think you're seeing more and more people cooking at home and they want fresh local produce. So.....go for it. But, I must say that she has an army of Mexican migrant workers that work her fields......... And, I am slap dab in the middle of sugar cane country so, we have a lot of migrant farm workers in the area.

I have both TJ's and Whole Foods within two blocks of my apartment. In the back of our parking lot there is a fruit and veggie stand - lots of Amish produce - where apartment residents get a discount! I only cook a couple of days a week because I get fed a meal at most places where I volunteer, but, when I do cook, I have excellent product sources!

I do remember that Jarreau...and you know they will have something to say once they see him on the show. Can't wait for football season anyway. This is just an added bonus!

That's just sad, Laj. Hope he gets some news one way or the other so there's at least some closure. ----------------------------------------- Lurk ~ I was just reading a few posts at the time. Since I was confused, I went back to where it started and saw it was Trader Joes. TJ Max is a discount clothing store they have around here. Hence the confusion and my picturing cookies among the dresses and shoes, lol! TNT is so lucky! Both TJ and Whole Foods are quite a distance from me.

TNT is further lucky because she got to have dinner last night with Bob2112 and his family! They were dropping off DD to attend college here and heading to Orlando for some Disney time with DS -

Lurk- if you see this- I'm sorry- don't even remember what called me away from this thread! The cookies are in those plastic containers, on the aisle of all those, with all the other chocolate chip cookies- dark chocolate chips and almonds to. I feel so bad if you don't have them! Then again- maybe that's good ; - )))

Has anyone seen last Thursday's BostonMed on ABC? I had taped it and just watched it tonight. You can go watch the episode on Bostonmed.abcnews.com It was one of the most heart warming and happy and sad programs I have seen in some time. It is the story of one man losing half his face in an accident and the courage and strength of a woman who donates her husband's face to give this man a semi-normal life. Wonderful!

Thanks again everyone! Still no news on Erik's mom. I'm beginning to fear we may never know. Today's been a tough day, thinking of her and Erik's pain but it's not about me. Keep the prayers coming! ♥

Talking about True Blood on the live chat thread. I've seen the first 2 seasons on dvd, but I don't have HBO on my cable, does anybody know where I can see season 3 on demand?
