Going to Trader Joes Right Quick, Want Anything?

I'm going to good old Trader Joes to pick up some lunch foods and organic dark chocolate. Anyone want anything before I bounce?

I WANT A TRADER JOES WHERE I LIVE SO I CAN GO THERE.


You and Anx make me jealous with your trader joe talk.

I did buy some organic dark chocolate on the way home from work because I had a super stressful day and I felt like I needed a drink - instead I bought dark Espresso laced chocolate.

those are yummy. i rarely get their prepared stuff because i'll chow right through 'em and it's more cost-effective for me to get ingredients i can cook with, but sometimes i have to give in to the spicy rice bowl whether it's thrifty or not. nod

i can make it simple for you: just go to the international foods section, where all the indian/thai/chinese food ingredients are - check out the simmer sauces and the stir fry sauces - then go to the frozen food aisle and check out the veggie medley combos, and pick out what would match the sauces you picked out - then get a big bag of rice (i prefer basmati) - you've got a week or two's worth of dinners right there, depending on how much you picked out! if you do meat, you can add chicken, though i just sautee cubed extra-firm tofu in garlic or sesame oil then add the veggies and then the sauce.

that's really the stuff i mainly go to TJs for...that, and whatever looks interesting in the new items section!

I think its the curry, coconut and ginger that's the kicker. Something about those flavors mixing with the jasmine rice makes it worthwhile w/a good salad and the rest is history.
