[Magdalen] farro salad

[Grace Cangialosi]

Somehow I missed a key piece of information here...what is farro?

And Jay, a brand-new Costco opened here on Wednesday! Since Zi don't do Sam's Club or WalMart, this is very exciting. They also have a gas station... Don't know how their price will compare with Sheetz.
