Unlike peas themselves, which would be too mushy and starchy to make a good pesto, pea shoots have a crisp, leafy texture along with their sweet pea flavor.

Who pays $100 for a bag of Wedge groceries??? I have been shopping exclusively at the Wedge for almost two years now, and very rarely does my bill exceed $60. I guess if you're looking to load up on overly packaged, processed food then you should probably shop at TJ's anyways. I like that I can get a majority of my groceries from the bulk section, ... Read MoreI always know where my produce was grown, and that they carry a LOT of local products.
If TJ's really feels that they must muscle their way into my neighborhood maybe they should just take up residence in the Le Perisien buidling. Seems like there is room to spare in that ridiculous eyesore.

this whole liquor license deal sounds like a bunch of whining on the Wedge's part... the door has been opened, get your own license! It sounds as if the wedge is afraid of a little competition. Grow up! I'm a member and yet I find wedge overpriced in this economy... I for one welcome TJ into the neighborhood!

I don't agree with Amanada's idea that the Trader Joe's should be moved downtown, and it's for the reason the rest of us have all been stating - they pretty much DO NOT HAVE a produce section, unless a person can live off potatoes, onions, and limes. Not only that, but most of wedges products are specialty, whole-food, local, and bulk -- none of ... Read Morewhich TJ's offers.

And the wedge brings in like $35 million per year, and I see $75 of that in total refunds and member discounts. If a few $3 bottles of cheap wine are going to bring that crumbling down, then the wedge wouldn't've lasted long anyways.

Recent fact I learned: The oldest, still-running company in existence is almost 1,400 years old. Beat that, wedge!

Personally, my problem with Trader Joe's is that they portray the air of natural-ness without really carrying a great number of natural-foods items. I tend to think of them more as a Walmart, now: cheap, but of dubious origin. I know its trendy for the Edina house-wives to shop there (in such numbers that they need people directing traffic in the parking lot), but the quality of the products just isn't there.
