  1. @Smithy you will regret not having a CSO I don't have an air-frier , and don't seem to regret that.
  2. Ive had the Encore , back when it was branded " Solis " since 2003. I use it for drip. I have a different system for espesso. the Encore still works well but its always been a bir difficult to clean. not impossible , but you have to line up the burr just right in its setting , then get the top , which rotates the whole shebang , w two tabs on to the burr for the whole assembly to turn en unison. it became harder for me to do , so I upgraded for drip to the Sette 30 AP. its far too expense for someone wanting drip and just starting out. Id go with Capresso or OXO. make sure you clean the grinder periodically. and get which ever is easier to clean a clean grinder give you much ' brighter ' coffee. those old grounds on the burr oxidize and give your coffee a dull taste , at least for me.

I tripped over the Event Horizon , and it was right there in front of me ! not pictured : TJ's Wheat Thins ( Crisps ) sad day they D/C'd the fake Triscuits Ill blame @Anna N for the Unexpected Cheddar. on my Memorial it will say " And he forgot the chips " there is some good news : I wont have to take my pants to the tailor to have the waist taken in an inch , for quite some time. think of the savings right there ! all the essentials right there in the pic , Id say

    possibly. but the translation is possibly not exact : this implies , w a poor translations , that order under $ 150 will show shopping before purchase. so who has excess minutes on their cell and will call them ? I called twice in the past , but my VirginMoble is not charged at the moment. sent an email.

  11. I just had the Turkey Wrap pic'd above the review from UC Irvine didn't make any sense to me re the TW I though mine was terrific. will a little more mayo in it its a keeper , right at the top w the Cubano. and BTW in the review they seem to be buying TJ's wraps cut in q/w in a box w possible extra ' spread ' don't know anything about that are wraps in CA cut in 1/2 ? you like turkey and I know some fine posters here haven't quite grown up yet , but there is time ! you will like the TW.

    DARTO sale ? from an email . did not have time to translate it to get the gist :
  13. I had the Cubano for a late breakfast . I micro'd it out of the refirg to warm it up . was i surprised ! https://www.newuniversity.org/2018/01/23/under-wraps-a-review-of-trader-joes-wrap-selection/ the Cubano is mentioned here It was superb ! of course if you don't like Pork , Ham , Swiss , pickles w a mustard sauce ( it would have been better w more sauce ) you are out of luck. My Mother used to say from time to time : " You should get your head examined . ' P.S.: Ive been trying to loose a little weight. not too much , not too fast. Tj's has put that project on hold for sure
  14. I tried the Pollo Asado. Im very much prepared to like most things from Tj's but this one didn't make the cut. it has corn in it , and I do like corn but for some reason not in a Burrito. I got it once as an Add-In at Chipotle , and the do make a fine Carnita burrito , but the corn didn't suit me. something about how it ' pops ' when you bite into a kernel. Odd objection , I know. and I thought the beans and possibly the rice were undercooked, the beans too al dente etc didn't detect much ' Asado ' flavor. I did add several tbs of spicy TH's Pico before hand as sometimes the burritos are a bit dry. that did the trick and I was able to polish the PA off. its just not going on the repeat list .
  15. although the weather here is much better I decided its still to hot to ' cook ', so that I could use that and an excuse continue my investigations into Tj 's Wraps and Chicken salad. you will note the Curry Chicken Salad above L hard to pass that up next to it is http://www.whatsgoodattraderjoes.com/2014/01/trader-joes-wine-country-chicken-salad.html and https://www.healthymamakris.com/post/recipe-copycat-trader-joe-s-wine-country-chicken-salad have not tried it . Ive had the Turkey Club , and the Carnitas Salsa verde. both nice. i add a little mayo to the turkey club , and some Pico to the carnitas , as its a little dry both have generous fillings , esp the carnitas. Looking forward to the Pollo Asado and the Cubano. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has some odd tax laws the Cubano and the Turkey Club were taxed , not the others. I asked about this out of curiosity , as in A food is not taxed , it grocery store food Prepped food might be : the dinners I sometimes get in the refrigerated sections of grocery stores are taxed as the restaurant rate : prepared foods. but no one at TJ's understands why the two wraps above are taxed and none of the many others they have nor are the Chicken salads. Odd. I tried the Wine Country CS. it was quite nice. why they call it wine country as I detect no Wine beets me. and someone was On the Ball and paid attention to detail : the celery is finely chopped thus not offensive.

    @blue_dolphin I completely agree with you Nuts whoosh be fresh and I think TJ's takes care of this. Pick Your Nut ! but please make sure it hasn't sit on the Shelf for 2 years ! and re : cashews : good to inhale ! I thank the Gods of TJ;s they do not carry , at a reasonable price i.e. : at my price point Macadamia Nuts !

    Nuts , fresh ? I use TJ's now , but my sister used to send me Pecans form Central Tx in the Fall the Pecans still remembered their Trees TJ;s seems to have the freshest nuts , easily obtainable for me Lightly toasted Pecans ? Im not sure Id toast a cashew but what do I know thats been documented

    @blue_dolphin love your eversion , Ex celery . at least you didn't add a GBP love the idea of chutney for spice and some sweetness id have considered adding some shredded carrot for crispness , which is one of my Big TakeAways from TJ's pred. then I have to go out and get a carrot ! isn't eG the Best for Outstanding Ideas . or what ! the CurryChickenSalad might be a nice place for some firm , Ripe Avocado Chunks ? And They're Off !
  21. @JoNorvelleWalker and where did you get that ?
  22. the only WWII U-boat in the great lakes was in lake Michigan
  23. @Smithy try a lower temp for the CkTh and for longer @JoNorvelleWalker mentions 300 F I think Ive done 350 F S-B until the skin was not just crisp , but bubbly. if way back on the CSO thread. well worth perfecting for that bubbly crisp CkTh skin

    Dinner 2019

    I must say < Im a fried clam ( w bellies of course ) fanatic. back in the day , Ive explored all the ' clam shacks ' in Essex MA , Ipswich Land. I took my own tartar sauce , and once I found a fantastic place , made of cinderblocks I was able to take an amusing Chablis , ice cold , in with me , in a paper bag and enjoy that out of little Dixie Cups. no on minded. just to put this in perspective , the Chablis was 2.99. and from France not Premier , not Grand Cru but delicious. Id love to try JA's they look perfect to me. congratulations

    IP or Sous Vide???

    Im still a bit puzzled by this pice of meat. I can't really place it on The Cow , is it a single piece ? has it been shaped to look round ? Im sure its going to give me phantasmagoric dreams , I like Knowing My Meat. I would have done well on The Letterman Show .
