saw a cauliflower & romanesco frozen veggie thing in a butter sauce that looked tempting but i just had the most amazing romanesco courtesy of my local farmers market the other day so why bother

Have decided to drastically reduce my consumption of TJ's prepared foods. They're great but they make me feel bad and get fat.

prepared meaning frozen/boxed

so sad I didn't buy more holiday vintage ale though
i like their frozen (and unadulterated) flat beans (green and yellow). they're great caramelized with some onions and fennel and topped with your seafood of choice.

Romanesco look both delicious and loathesome in a trypohpia-inducing way.

trypophobia, that is
anyone buy lactaid milk at trader joe's? they used to stock the hormone free kind, I'm positive, but now I can't seem to find any.
― akm, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 04:48 (thirteen years ago) link
never mind I'm retarded, it's right there on the side.
right now my neighborhood trader joe's is selling off all their christmas cookies for like, 99 cents.
― akm, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 04:59 (thirteen years ago) link
(it is kind of disgusting there are cookies from two months ago around, but you know, when you want cookies...)
Tj's is great for losing weight because everything is prepackage with nutritional information.

The one in Brooklyn has these "Taster's Packs" of Unibroue beers for $8 right now -- it's 4 different strong ales in the 8-9% alcohol range. Drinking a Don De Dieu right now, a belgian-style golden ale. Quite good.
― The Corner Stander, The Suggest Ban Hammer (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 1 March 2011 03:27 (thirteen years ago) link
As beers go, I don't recommend the Vienna style lager. The knockoff Corona however is almost as good as the real thing.
― calstars, Tuesday, 1 March 2011 03:39 (thirteen years ago) link
The Trader Jose's thing? That shit is tasty!
― wizards of wonder are the keepers of knowledge (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 1 March 2011 03:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Almost as good as Corona is not high praise in my book.

I do think the TJ's Dunkelweisen and Hofbrau Bock are pretty good.
wait are you talking about la playa? bc that was shit.
― tehresa, Tuesday, 1 March 2011 03:46 (thirteen years ago) link
but i think that is fake tecate, which is also shit.
no longer finding the mint chocolate UFOs or the quart of strawberry yogurt at my TJs, this is very disappointing.
currently loving the little dry pint pack of little sweet peppers. Picked up these goofy pea puff snacks today, they are like cheetos but made with peas, they are very snacky. $$ for basically air though. My 2 yo girl loves the dried seaweed snack, the other day she was no-nap delirious, naked on the kitchen floor doing the curly shuffle while cramming seaweed in her mouth, I was dying.

I hope (fer yer sake) there is at least one Fin du Monde in there, because that shit is some golden fucking ambrosia

Bought the Unibroue assortment a couple weeks ago and it was great. and, yeah, there's a fin du monde in there. (plus maudite, don de dieu and one I can't remember).

Definitely. Drinking it right now. Though the $2 upgrade to Trader Jose is worth it -- if you like cerveza.

yeah that red curry tuna wasn't that good
― los blue jeans, Sunday, 6 March 2011 02:04 (thirteen years ago) link
I enjoy the red and green curry tuna packs.

sweet potato gnocci however - not too bad at all
― los blue jeans, Sunday, 6 March 2011 02:07 (thirteen years ago) link
do you heat up the tuna? I had it room temperature - this could have been the problem
?? I always heat up the tuna curry, both colors, and it is always delicious.
― first it smells like donuts, then it smells like don't ask (askance johnson), Sunday, 6 March 2011 02:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I use a rice cooker with a steamer basket. Rice in bottom, two tuna packets on top in the basket. All done at the same time.
― Jeff, Sunday, 6 March 2011 02:28 (thirteen years ago) link
ah. good idea. might give that another shot.
― los blue jeans, Sunday, 6 March 2011 02:47 (thirteen years ago) link
There's a refrigerated thing that I think is new, with hummus, some kinda little chopped up salad, tahini and pita/falafel. It's pretty good, especially if you're too lazy to make your own falafel. And oh, am I.
― Aquarian Necromancer Octopus (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Sunday, 6 March 2011 07:20 (thirteen years ago) link
i just cook the rice and mix it up with the room-temp tuna.
― hauntological-hysteric theater (get bent), Sunday, 6 March 2011 09:23 (thirteen years ago) link
The tuna also good on noodles, and they don't have to be Thai noodles, I usually just use fettucini.

Lincoln Park TJ's construction update: The lights are on inside and they've installed many shelves, freezers, and fridges.

I actually thought the tuna curry was kinda gross, but whatev.
― jaymc, Monday, 7 March 2011 04:25 (thirteen years ago) link
Were you eating it cold right out of the pouch with your bare hands while sitting in a dark room alone and crying? Because you should really heat those tuna things up first.

Sweet & Spicy Pecans are delicious. Problem is I could eat the whole tiny bag, which contains 5 servings. Normally, I could care less, but it just seems excessive with 950 calories and 85 g of fat.
