ANOTHER AFTERNOON SPENT with The Kid Brother. We had some business to take care of together and then we came downtown for lunch at a local diner. He had a Monte Cristo (French toast, topped by ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese. He then poured maple syrup on it. The plate was tremendous — and not enough. So, he grabbed the slices of melon off my omelette plate to finish things off. We then went to Trader Joe's, a "fresh format" grocery store chain. He was so excited to stock up on favorites. When we got in line, I asked him who was paying for it all. He thought that was the funniest question he had ever heard.
OTRA TARDE PASADA con El Hermanito. Tuvimos algunos negocios para cuidar juntos y luego llegamos al centro para almorzar en un restaurante local. Él tenía un sandwich Monte Cristo (tostadas francesas, cubierto con jamón, pavo y queso suizo, entonces él vierta jarabe de arce en él. El plato era tremendo — y no era suficiente. Por lo tanto, tomó el melón de mi plato de tortilla y luego fuimos a Trader Joe's, una cadena de tiendas de comestibles de "formato fresco". Le pregunté quién estaba pagando por todo. Él pensó que era la pregunta más divertida que jamás había escuchado.

ReplyDeleteThat is the coolest Trader Joe's I have ever seen. I have been pass it, but have never been in. The one I go too is nice but no where near like this one in nyc.
ReplyDeletegreat re-purposing of a stately building. and I LOVE monte cristo sammiches (hold the maple syrup please).
ReplyDeleteMaple Syrup on a Monte Cristo - yes please, your brother has good taste. And he is a smart one, never answer questions that might implicate yourself, only laugh
ReplyDeleteSomeone's a happy camper!! Look at that smile! Lucky guy to have such a good big brother!!
ReplyDeleteI understand his smile - I would have a smile like that too if I could do some shopping in TJ's. Even if I had to pay for it myself.
ReplyDeleteThat Trader Joe's looks odd in an old bank building, but I like it when old buildings are re-purposed.
ReplyDeletePaying the bill, is what brothers are for. Dime-Savings bank held the mortgage on my parents home in Florida when they bought it in 1976. I sold it last night.
ReplyDeleteTrader joes is a cool place, we have one but smaller than his
ReplyDeleteAt least your kid brother can see the humour in life, LOL! Good for him!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Trader Joe's. I need to go shopping with you and fill up my cart - I will find you funny too. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo who did pay?
ReplyDeleteI found I was smiling as wide as Kid Brother while reading this but with just a little something getting in my eye... damn dust!
