Has anyone used this stuff before?
Yes. Often.

Two things that have changed my life.
Roasted Tomatillo Salsa (refrigerated section):
Sometimes sold out...so I guess the word is spreading. I can murder a tub of this in one sitting...with ease.
Green Dragon Hot Sauce:
Daily staple on my breakfast sandwiches...or pour this right over your eggs. Dang.

Been crowing about both of these for awhile. The salsa is so good I sometimes just have a spoonful or 2 right out of the container.

The lemon-rosemary spatch-cocked chicken in the meat section has no business tasting as good as it does.
Also a shout out for the coffeecrust cashews.

Some time in the next couple weeks we (Trader Joe's) should be getting a Mango Chipotle BBQ sauce. I'm hoping it's another good one.

Ooooh, I miss California. That salsa is west coast only, I've never tried it. . . no dice here in Chicago.
We do get the Dragon though.

I eat the tomatillo salsa with a spoon. They had one years back that was just as good. You are missing out.
It's just tomatillo gazpacho

Not any more, I'm on the move to NorCal. Soon will be another 'Two-Time Champions Kings' fan' in Shark territory.
This means I may see you good fellows at a few games next season.
Can't wait.

Trader Joe's Aloo Chaat
These are basically like Indian Hot pockets, haha.
I think that they are good and are actually spicy, not white people spicy, lol.epper:
They have a couple of nice boil-in-a-bag Indian options now too
And these
Are wicked. Soooooooooooo spicy and tasty.

I bought some of that Green Dragon sauce for the first time on my last trip to TJs.
I am now part of the converted!
It's good, kinda spicy, but really full of flavor.
I am one of those weirdos who emphasizes heat over flavor, haha, but this one is the opposite and worth it.

Yeah. I've tasted it and it's pretty good if one likes Indian Food.
Stuff like this.
It IS BOIL in the bag. But because I don't follow instructions, I just poured it outta the pouch into the pot and cooked it. Actually, just as well, it came out the same, and I was able to add hot sauce while stirring it.
I prefer to make rice the traditional way since it's more cost effective and what not, but I sometimes get Brown Rice from Trader Joe's.
This works in a pinch. Put the bag into the microwave, three minutes, and bam, you have rice for your Indian dishes.
But AGAIN, because I don't follow directions, haha, the first time I bought this, I opened the bag, and poured the rice into hot water to cook the rice.
This time it was NOT just as well, and instead, I got some pretty rubbery rice.

Just a real quick note that reading Orphy's fun post reminded me of.
I am still a little surprised at how often customers ask me basic cooking questions.
It's usually college kids (mostly gals) and older folks. "How do I roast a chicken?" Stuff like that.
I admire that they feel comfortable enough to ask, so I always try to be nice and accommodating to the questions.
One broke my heart the other day, a vegan teenager asked me to help pick out the best steak for her dying dog and how to prepare it.
Sorry to hijack for a second, be well all.
Also, if you want some jalapeno flavor with minimal heat, we just got in a new Jalapeno Sauce.
Check it. . . a little creamy, a little smokey but good flavor.

Still say that TJ's Pizza Sauce is winner winner veggie dinner.
