The article highlights a heartwarming shopping trip at Trader Joe's between the author and her 92-year-old grandmother, Leonora. The grandmother shares her insights on favorite products, suggesting the tasty chopped salad kits while advising against the California rolls. Though she keeps kosher and avoids much of the frozen food, she acknowledges the popularity of frozen items like orange chicken. The trip is filled with humor and love, showcasing not only product preferences but also the cherished bond between generations as they navigate grocery shopping together.
"The chopped salad kits are wonderful," grandma said. She couldn't decide on a single favorite as she loves them all. But she would not suggest the California rolls.
"No, we don't buy that crap," she said about the peanut butter stuffed pretzels. But she does love the dunkers, the biscotti-like cookies she dips in coffee.
Lenny keeps kosher, so she doesn't eat a ton of the frozen food at Trader Joe's, however she said she hears everything frozen is delicious. "The people rave about the orange chicken," she said.
Before we left the frozen aisle, we took a quick stop to eat some mini mint ice cream.
