CalhounSq said: Anxiety said: as for non-meat eaters, they of course have lots of unique options but i'm still not sold on trader joe's faux meat products. except for the meatless corn dogs, i really don't like any of their veggie burgers or veggie chicken products. i think their chicken nuggets tastes like wet cardboard rolled in sawdust.
I keep wondering why they won't stock the Mushroom Lovers patties by Morning Star Farms, those are divine But they stick to the plain old veggie patties i've just learned not to go to TJs for that kind of stuff...the local rainbow/jewel supermarkets always have a much better selection of frozen veggie protein stuff. i never miss not browsing those items at TJs, though - in fact, i like that they have so many veg-friendly products that i can go weeks without having to throw a boca burger in the microwave, because i have so much INTERESTING stuff in the pantry. | |

TRUE... speaking of fresh veggies, I gotta cook these shitakes before they go bad | |

LOVE LOVE LOVE TJ's
Their soups in the crock shaped cans are deelish The three ginger ginger snaps Cranberry walnut torte There is a fabulous goat cheese that is so smmoth and rich I buy the almonds, walnuts and all the dried fruits to make my own dried fruit/nut mix. It's expensive when added all together but there is enough to share ~ a large baggie for about 6 people Asparagus rositto Much more that I'm not thinking of now [Edited 3/24/08 19:38pm] Music is the language of the spirit.

I've never eaten there, but it's apparently to Nashville what White Castle is to the NYC area -- though we have White Castle here, too. Odd, the Al Jarreau McDonald's jingle just popped into my head. I need to go lie down somewhere. | |

I see those things but how do you eat them? You COOK with them Just throw them in the pan/pot & you've got a clove of crushed garlic or a teaspoon of basil just by popping out a cube. It's frickin' genius! They also have cilantro . [Edited 3/25/08 17:44pm] | |
