Thread: The semi-irregular "Cool stuff at Trader Joe's" thread

picked up some of this the other night



while its not the absolute best asada in the world (home made/taco truck) it does work in a pinch and has a bit of a kick to it.

It is a lot better imo if it's removed from the package and I add a little beer(dark) montreal steak seasoning, and a tiny bit of El Pato and then marinated another day or two.

ill have to try that next time, my neighbor gave me his familys secret asada recipe which is hands down the best ive ever had, so i dunno how often i will stray of that. this one is definitely good for a quick dinner the day of though.

If youre not in the general vicinity of any mexican meat market this will do but I agree with Obejuan- making your own adjustments boost palatability 10 fold.

Anybody tried the dark chocolate wedges?



I'm eating way too much of them.

Not into White Wines but the overland Sav Blanc at $5 bucks a bottle is not too shabby.

Check out the review....

Those are good. They have a dark chocolate caramel one as well.

Yep...I just killed a tin of those last night.

I like the frozen Veggie Samosas and the Mango & Cream Bars. I'll be eating both tomorrow around lunch time!

New **** it I'm into include the soft snickerdoodles. Deadly, they are.
