Trader Joe's Yea/Nay Thread - 2nd quarter 2012
Got em at the Arlington Hts IL store last week. They are pretty darn good but not quite as good as I'd hoped. I'd actually be happier if the portion size was smaller and there were more per box.
Trader Joe's Yea/Nay Thread - 2nd quarter 2012
I have seen these all over recently -- east coast, west coast but NOT in the midwest where I want them. Arrrghhh!
Thank you, CH!
This board is an awesome and most welcome addition! Best change I've seen to Chowhound in a long time!!

Unless you've tried the chiles before and liked them, I'd avoid or get a different brand. I tried the TJ's variety and thought they were vile (although I'd just come back from NM so maybe my expectations were too high).
New Posts feature non functioning
Still not working as of Tuesday 5:15 CDT.
Without this feature, I find myself not really having much motivation to visit CH. Funny, but I haven't missed it much.
What feature would you like to see on Chowhound?
Have asked before but will make my plea again.
When I check in to read unread posts each day, I only want to read unread posts from certain boards. Instead of having to go back to the full list of boards each time, why can't I specify a list of my selected boards? I originally rejoiced when the "Saved Boards" feature was introduced but that was short lived upon finding that opening any of the boards on my saved list opens the full board, rather than unread posts only. Why can't this be an option within Saved Boards???
Discontinued at Trader Joe's (started 6/19/2011) [old]
just saw both of these items over the weekend in my northwest suburban Chicago TJs
Unread posts
There are about 10-12 boards that I follow religiously and only visit others if I'm traveling, etc. What I'd LOVE is the ability to limit the unread posts area to just those 10-12 boards that I always read. It seems like this should be doable but I've tried and never seem to come up w/a way to make it happen.
thin crust pizza near Arlington Heights/Palatine
Another option would be Armand's in downtown Arlington Heights. Be sure to ask for extremely thin and extremely well done if you like it super thin and crispy.

Viperlush,
The mushroom bread pudding sounds great -- do you have a recipe.
Thanks!
Foods you love at Trader Joe's that got discontinued? [OLD]
I feel your pain. Just opened my last precious, hoarded jar of tomato chutney.
polenta tips
Querencia,
Could you comment on how long you cook in the crock pot and whether on high or low heat?
I've wanted to try polenta this way for a long time.
Thanks!
Cheap Eats in the downtown area?

Hog Island in the Ferry Building. One of the greatest, most decadent grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever eaten.

Any idea how the ratatouille compares to the Eggplant Caponata? I had high hopes for the caponata but just didn't care for it.
I'm still grieving for the now retired tomato chutney!
Need Rec for Business Dinner near Marriott (4th St)
I would skip First Crush. So many better options in the area.

Starter box discontinued (at least here in IL). I am completely bummed.

Add tomato chutney to the casualty list. I can't imagine what I'm going to do w/o this stuff.
Vegetarian/Vegan Restaurant in San Francisco
Saha is a great choices for veggies and meat eaters.

ALDI Stores: Quality Products at Deep Discount??
Why throw out an item from TJs? They will take it back if you didn't like it. This policy makes me much more likely to try a new item than I might in other stores (and usually it turns out to be a regular on my shopping list). I've returned items over the years, though, and never had a problem.
Where to hold a baby shower in the Northwest suburbs
Mint Julep Bistro was recently reviewed (w/in the last month or so) on Check, Please.
MJB was on my list of new places to try until I saw that review.
Banana Cream Pie?
You might check out Fox and Obel. Unlike some bakeries, their offerings are usually beautiful and great tasting.

A friend is bringing me Trader Joe's snacks- which ones?
TJ's kettlecorn...completely addictive.
