Do you shop at Trader Joe's? I do, and I love that place. Generally, I go to TJ's for specialty items, such as yogurt, carrot juice, and cheese. In other words, it's not where I go to get my essential, weekly groceries. I view shopping at Trader Joe's as a special treat.
In any grocery store I visit, I look forward to perusing the cheese aisle. Trader Joe's has some awesome cheese products, including a nice variety of goat cheese, one of my favorite cheeses. TJ's Goat's Milk Creamy Cheese is probably my favorite product in the whole store. Due to Covid, globalization, and supply chain issues, Trader Joe's has been out of Creamy Goat Cheese for nearly six weeks. That's an eternity. A store employee told me the cheese was stuck in France waiting to be shipped to the USA. When TJ's was out of Creamy Goat Cheese, I tried to find a replacement or a new product to get hooked on, but it didn't work out for me. Nor for my cats. Yes, that's right, my cats go ape shit for little licks of Creamy Goat Cheese. This bad habit started one day when my cat, Babette, woke up from a nap just as I sat down to have a Creamy Goat Cheese snack. Babette jumped up on my lap and smelled the cheese and licked a little dollop off my cracker. To Babette, the goat cheese must have tasted like Crack because now she can be sound asleep but when I open the container of goat cheese, she awakens from the deepest sleep and comes running my way! What this turned into is an unfortunate ritual in which Babette wakes me up around 4:00 AM every morning, begging for the cheese. And like a fool, I drag my butt out of bed and give it to her. I've tried ignoring her, shutting her out of my bedroom, and telling her in a harsh tone that the 4:00 AM cheese ritual has got to stop. But Babette is relentless. It's easier to give her the damn cheese than fight about it. And now, the cheese saga has turned into a new blog for me. Ah, the things we do for love. ---------- Hashtags: #TraderJoes #cheese #goatcheese #cats #globalization #supplychain #blog
