When I lived back in Cambridge, I visited TJ's 2-3 times a week. But it's been almost two years since I moved to a Trader Joe-less wasteland. 
My sainted mother is visiting next week, and she's asked for my TJ's wishlist. I've already requested my favorite salad dressing and the chocolate-covered peanut butter-filled pretzels. But for some reason, I'm drawing a blank on all the other delightful staples I used to stock up on. That's where you come in. Remind me of all the wonders my mother should fill her suitcase with. Shelf-stable stuff only. Thank you in advance!  Those are sooo good. I had a good friend of mine try them once, she absolutely loved them! In fact, the last time we went to Trader Joe's, she wound up buying a bag of them. 
Don't know if anybody mentioned this, but Trader Joe's Bite Size Everything Crackers are very good as well. I can eat a whole box of these in one sitting. I couldn't find a pic of it online, but the crackers come in a 10 ounce red box.RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

Another good snack is Trader Joe's Everything Bagel Chips. Yeah, I like crackers with those little seeds on them. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

PunkMistress said: RenHoek said: Anx already said Chili-spiced Mangos which are totally
(gotta find the soft ones though...).I don't like those. My mom brought them for me last time, but I wasn't a fan. I was all set to send them to Anxiety, but then my son ate both packages. 
I don't think I ever told Anx why I never sent them.
Anx, I love you.  damn you for forsaking me the mango!
i guess i love you anyway.   | |

Shelf-stable stuff only. Thank you in advance! I LOVE Trader Joe's. That's the one thing I want to check for when I move from this area. I personally love the medjool dates rolled in coconut shavings. dont forget the marinaria sauces. and two-buck chuck is great for cooking with... not bad for drinking while cooking with it either. LOL I guess the rotola is out ...since your sainted mother will be traveling. but the rice cracker rounds are still great .... one could always make their own proscuito, basil and cheese roll. just a couple of suggestions for you to maybe help job your memory.

ThirdandFinal said: uhm. btw... not that it's any of my biz ..but are you working on your car or building a fence? I see a box of woodscrews and wrench's and what looks like brake shoes? do I have that? lol Looks like a spark plug thrown in there too for good measure? or do you just like to snack on those too... for a little extra mineral in your diet? LOL. [Edited 8/9/09 16:11pm] this is the time of the first fast. | |
