Here is another thing that sucks: Tastes like the fryer oil crunchies you get in the bottom of a Long John Silver cardboard tray, but somehow not in a good way

Speaking of frozen potato products, I got these "Herbes de Provence Potato Wedges" a couple weeks ago that turned out absolutely fantastic in my air fryer but the next time I went back to trader joes they didn't have them any more   I guess they were apparently a limited time thing and they only had them for a couple months which I guess makes me feel happier than trader joes having had them for years and just discontinuing them right after I tried them I guess I should see if the normal supermarket has something similar. I'm not sure if they were parfried or not. mystes fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Jan 29, 2024 |

That orange chicken rules. There is even enough surplus sauce per serving to throw in a handful of steamed broccoli.

Joe Joes chocolate and peanut butter sandwich cookies are a must buy for me. If you like frozen breaded fish the cod filets are great. Light coating, meaty. Orange chicken, Japanese style fried rice. The blue corn tortilla chips are perfect, and the restaurant style salsa is good. It's not hot though. The Olive fougasse bread is delicious, and the 'Everything' style ciabatta rolls are good.

The trader joe’s brand lager is absolute dogshit. I was hoping for a solid lightish beery beer, but it’s sour and ugly. Gonna give the generic modelo negro a shot.

Yellow curry sauce Boneless skinless chicken Tofu Potatoes Pre cook potatoes and sauteed tofu till brown but light brown Add all to yellow curry sauce with half a cup or so of oat milk (or preferred kind of mild that isn't cow mucus) Cook on low-med for 30 mins. Delicious Salt added to taste. Bonus points if over jasmine rice with stars in it during cook.

Yeah they're sick, they just require some planning and then you gotta heat up an oven and poo poo first thing in the morning. One morning when the kids were at Grandma's I managed to time it perfectly with leaving them on a making sheet in the oven to proof overnight and had the oven timed to turn on and bake a little longer than they call for since it had to heat up. Head downstairs and BAM fresh croissants.

I got this cheese and it's pretty good: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/ivys-reserve-somerset-red-cheese-078393 It's like a very intense cheddar. Unfortunately it's marked as "limited time" I also tried this: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/brown-sugar-boba-mochi-076029  It's like daifuku except the filling is extremely mediocre and I wouldn't recommend it

The cream cheese+jalapeño wontons are incredible with their sweet thai chili sauce and a cold beer. Also like both samosas (haven’t tried fhe seasonal pumpkin flavor). Also like to pick up the green juice drink they have when I poke my head in there, it has a bunch of veggies supposedly but it just tastes like apple juice and I’m fine with that.

Honestly the filet mignon from Trader J's is pretty good. I'm grabbing 4 oz cuts for like 8 bucks a piece. My mother decided to join me grocery shopping after Easter and was weirded out by how close contact people at TJs get and also the fact that it was as full as a bazaar the entire way through. Im parking my cart and walking to places grabbing handfuls of items and heading back while she's like this is nauseating to navigate lol To the non TJ enjoyer the parking lot can seem very hostile.

Even to a TJ regular a TJ parking lot is a nightmare. gently caress every TJs parking lot.

Pretty much the only one that wasn’t a poo poo show was the one in hermosa beach because they converted a Ralph’s grocery store to a TJs. The store also rules because it’s like 2x the size it needs to be so everything inside is super spread out.

Thinking to brave TJ’s to get some frozen samosas because all the regular stores around here decided to not stock samosas any more.
