Made the rustic apple tart tonight, and bought a chocolate spice coconut bar. Will report.
I've noted it before, but I love the paella.

Currently I am liking:
TamalesGyozaPizza dough - a staple (though I slightly prefer my own, it takes too long)Chicken sausageDried pitted Montmorency cherriesDark chocolate-covered cherriesPinachio cookiesCaramel cashew cookiesRoasted/salted almonds
Winewise, they have a couple different Primitivos that I have bought and am looking forward to trying.

i have used their pizza dough much but it's so bland no matter what you do to it :-/
― Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 10 March 2017 19:07 (nine years ago)
this was mostly a fill-up run (i like to go to tj's after therapy because it's soothing and this week i was rewarded with 'a view to a kill' on the stereo when i got there); also i gave up chocolate for lent. i bought a bottle of wine, the fresh mozz cheese sticks, a new york strip, the heat and eat brussels, "handsome cut" french fries, haricots verts, blueberries, honey roasted peanuts, cheese crisps that are all cheese, hash browns (my favorite thing!!!), strawberry preserves, tahini, and chickpeas. also two clutches of red roses, which i combine in my mason jar vase.
― maura, Friday, 10 March 2017 21:40 (nine years ago)
i figured out how to make those hash browns so they're exactly like mcdonald's. it is the best
gosh
― Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 10 March 2017 21:41 (nine years ago)

― Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 10 March 2017 21:42 (nine years ago)
Same here. My toaster oven has a setting for frozen has browns! it makes them 90% perfect
― calstars, Friday, 10 March 2017 21:47 (nine years ago)
salt the oil
― maura, Friday, 10 March 2017 21:55 (nine years ago)
Really dig the European style yogurt, esp with the small frozen blueberries mixed in.
― JoeStork, Friday, 10 March 2017 21:55 (nine years ago)
SALT THE OIL
To each their own I guess
Uh what oil
― calstars, Friday, 10 March 2017 22:49 (nine years ago)

― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 22:54 (nine years ago)

― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 11 March 2017 00:13 (nine years ago)
Oh ok now I understand
― calstars, Saturday, 11 March 2017 00:52 (nine years ago)
OH you mean the patty hash browns!! I was thinking the shredded taters and was like "ok i salt the oil but what do i do with all of these potato shreds?????"
― Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 12 March 2017 14:36 (nine years ago)

― maura, Sunday, 12 March 2017 14:39 (nine years ago)

eating JUST mandarin orange chicken w/ rice feels excessive and decadent, what are your favorite add-ins besides broccoli??
― Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 19 March 2017 20:57 (nine years ago)
scallions

chicken AND rice? get the fuck outta here
― musically, Monday, 20 March 2017 18:03 (nine years ago)
I mix either spinach or the "cruciferous crunch" bagged blend into anything I deem vegetable-deficient.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 20 March 2017 19:59 (nine years ago)
Did Trader Joe's discontinue their all time goat mvp, crushed garlic in a jar? Last two times I've gone they've only had diced garlic which isn't nearly as good.
― musically, Friday, 14 April 2017 16:56 (nine years ago)
Answer seems to be: yes, they discontinued it.
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Friday, 14 April 2017 17:20 (nine years ago)
Visit any Indian grocer. Great big jars of crushed garlic, crushed ginger, or both for much less than the fresh forms. It loses some pungency from the processing, but its easy enough to compensate.
― behavioral sink (Sanpaku), Friday, 14 April 2017 18:00 (nine years ago)
Christopher Ranch brand crushed garlic is the best and is sold in major US supermarkets. Dunno if TJ's is US garlic or Chinese (which is possible).
