[Sca-cooks] what to get from Trader Joe's

[Nancy Kiel]

Their salsa verde.  I have dumped the remaining crumbs from a bag of tortilla chips into a bowl, put the salsa on top, and eaten it with a spoon.  Their gyoza and shelled edamame are also good; at Christmas time they have Pfefferneuse; and their chocolate chip cookies (the first ingredient listed is chocolate, not flour) are outstanding.  Fortunately for me, the TJ's in my area is not very close otherwise I would spend way too much money on their awesome products and weigh about a million pounds.

Never tease a weasel!
This is very good advice.
For the weasel will not like it
And teasing isn't nice.

You can find some commentary on just how old some of these place name cheese are in various cheese files in the FOOD-DAIRY section of the Florilegium.
