Things I love about Trader Joe's

Along with orange muscat champagne vinegar, they sell big basil plants for $2.99 in the spring, brought up on a truck from California in perfect condition. I also bought some tomato starts yesterday at RiteAid, and it made me think of of pizza margherita and salad on the way home. 

 Life is good in Seattle. We're having a mini-heat wave and the temperature might reach 70 (gasp!) tomorrow.  If it gets much warmer, the Northwest heat-weenies will start complaining.
