Trader Joe's Yay/Nay Thread - March 2013 [OLD] Yay- canned Minestrone soup. Very hearty and the vegetables are chunky and it doesn't look like "canned" soup. Yay- spicy ramen- add some hoisin sauce, citrus, and some herbs and maybe some meat and it is actually not too bad of a quick/effortless "pho" craving substitute... |

Trader Joe's Yea/Nay Thread - January 2013 [OLD] just had the puff pastry margherita personal pizza- so good and not too bad for your calorie intake |

Trader Joe's Yea/Nay Thread - January 2013 [OLD] NAY- Beef "Pho" (freezer section). I used quotation marks because this is a very far cry from Pho and in addition to that is just really tasteless. It's been about a year since I had it and every time I pass by it in the store I shake my head in disbelief it hasn't been pulled by now. Lemons in the bag (produce)- as stated everyone seems to have hits/misses with their produce. I once bought a bag of lemons and left them on my counter in a bowl and 4 days later moved the bowl and all this "dust" flew up and I horrifyingly discovered all the lemons had gone SO bad that they had literally turned into a molded dust. EW. I was in the store yesterday and needed lemon for a recipe but left empty handed in that case because every lemon I investigated-bags and individual had some form of mold growing on them. I will pass on their produce from now on if those are their standards. YAY- Israeli couscous. Just made this the other day and really enjoyed it. Very easy to prepare too. New Minestrone soup- they were sampling this and it had tons of veggies and seemed like a much better version of canned soup than I have had Minestrone before. |

Food trip to fukuoka and tokyo This is a late reply, but I used to live in Fukuoka and they definitely have the best tonkotsu ramen-- there are tons of shops everywhere but for atmosphere plus great ramen I love going to the food stalls along the canal by Canal City in Nakasu. |

Best Seasonal/Holiday Trader Joe Items.. to hunt for in 2012 I am not sure if they have had these before but it was the first time seeing them at my location-lots of goodies to put in gift baskets (or just get for yourself like I did!): pack of 4 different flavored sea salts (edible flower, lemon and bay leaf, jerk, smoke) all very reasonable prices too |
