My grandma is an original “little treat” treasure hunter. When my siblings, cousins and I were growing up, we could always count on her for a small bite of something fun: a sweet or a piece of candy, a cookie of some kind, a bite of a pastry, a handful of cheese balls or some mini sandwich crackers. Grocery shopping with her in American and international markets was always an adventure because she encouraged flavor exploration. No wonder then that, now as an 80-something-year-old, the highlight of her week is a trip to “Ah-Jo!”—what she adorably calls Trader Joe’s in the last remnants of her heavily accented, infrequently used English.
