Re: Humiliation redefined

Our TJ's has an amazing wine selection, would knock your socks off! Beer as
well. They do have amazing stuff. Good stuff too! In the frozen section
they have this great salmon that DS got us hooked on. It is salmon stuffed
with, darn I knew I'd forget everything but there is dill and something
else. DS and DDIL had us over for dinner when we met future in-laws and it
was good grilled with new red potatoes and asparagus. Yum.

I've been to TJ small stores, and they have good stuff too, like lemon
balsamic vinegar or white balsamic. Stuff like that is hard to find all
over. I have not been to one that had wine. I like all the boxed soups
and juices. Their Dixie Peach juice is outstanding. My cousin swears by
the frozen dinners although I've never bought them, and the Lemonade
which I haven't tried. Basically I find the same stuff here sometimes,
under a different label but exactly the same stuff, but it's always at
least 25% cheaper at Trader Joe's than at grocery store. There's a
repackaging called Central Market brand which I'm sure is made by
whoever does the Trader Joe in-house stuff because it is exactly the
same. TJ's cleaning products are good (and green) and Vitamins are
exceptionally well priced. All the teas, same familiar brands like
Celestial Seasonings or TJ's house brand, is all definitely cheaper at
TJ. I keep my eye on prices around here and I know a good bargain when
I see one and I always stock up when I'm so lucky as to go there.

Diane,
My DD just returned this morning with my booty from Trader Joe's.

I remember one time when we were going to Boston and looking in a
tour
book, and there was a little blurb about how people loved Trader
Joe's
and how it was so unique. So we decided to go there, even though we
were taking public transportation around, so we couldn't buy much.
Ever
since then we always seek them out when traveling and often they are
located right off interstates so easy to get off the freeway then
back
on. They are a health food store (for lack of a better description)
that carries virtually ALL their own house brands of items and
practically everything you buy from them is not only cheaper than
you
can get at any grocery store but also delicious and organic. They
have
organic meats and produce sections too. One time I got a beautiful
about-to-bloom orchid with five flower stalks for $14. My cousin
lives
near one and I asked her why she liked them so much also, and she
said
because everything you buy is cheap and great. What's not to like?

BTW I'm thinking of buying TJ stock. They have a website but they
don't
sell on line. They do have store locations there though.

when
she walks in, so I get more phone calls from him about cooking
than
from her. Ha.

What is Trader Joe's?

There's no greater feeling of satisfaction than this kind of
relationship with the daughters, I swear. My youngest DD, age
22,
loves
to cook also and practically lives on allrecipes.com. She's
always
trying something new and exotic. This afternoon she called me
from
Trader Joe's (there isn't one around here, but she's in
Massachusetts)
to ask if there's anything I want. I love that place!

I sent my 28-year-old daughter the recipe for my mother's
cloverleaf
dinner rolls. She made them and called me to ask why I didn't
just
put
a piece of parchment paper down on the countertop when I was
kneading
them (it's always a huge mess, and I have to use a scraper to
get
some
of it off).

I make these rolls about every 3 days because youngest DD is
addicted
to them, and I've made them regularly for almost 30 years.
Now
why
did
it take an engineer to point that out to me? So this morning
I
tried
it. My face is still red. It worked great.
