My anniversary came and went--didn't realize. July 10, 2003!
-
Jason, I hope you will be back with more re-formulated recipes!
-
I won the bag raffle once years ago--at that time it was a $25 gift card.
-
Since products at Trader Joe's come and go, I'd start reading this thread from most recent to older. That way, you're most apt to find the products mentioned. Have fun!!

The preserved lemons are very good--be sure to rinse them to reduce the saltiness a bit. I served them with grilled swordfish steaks that I'd rubbed with Moroccan spices. They were delicious!!

Very sad news. Many condolences to all her family and friends.

I bought the red palm oil, too. AND, the preserved lemons. I served the lemons with grilled swordfish with moroccan spice rub and similarly-spiced veggies with couscous. Everyone loved the lemons! I used red palm oil in the veggies (eggplant, tomatoes, onions & ??) and I guess because of the tagine sauce I used with them, couldn't really taste the oil. It's certainly colorful! :-)
Edited to add that now that I know the oil is supposed to help make me thin, I'll be eating a spoonful daily!

Gosh, that looks wonderful. I'm going to get over there first thing in the morning and hope they still have some. I'd hate to have to wait until next pasqua.
I wish I'd gotten a couple of them!

Eating a piece of this right now on Easter morning and it is delicious!

i hesitate mentioning these little items :
they had them yest. for sampling.
they are delicious and addictive. mine barely made it home.
with a little vanilla ice-cream .............
they are $ 3
Thank goodness I don't have time to get out there to TJ's for a while. Maybe they won't have them any more by the time I get there. If only they were 3 calories!!

I have very limited counter space in this kitchen, so all mine are in places that aren't easy to get to them--out of sight, out of mind. It's more trouble than it's worth to get them out. Yet, I'm considering adding an Instant Pot to my wish list. LOL!

I made pumpkin bread pudding for Thanksgiving using the Trader Joe's Pumpkin Cornbread Croutons. I served it with their Pumpkin Caramel Sauce and warmed cream. It was the hit of the dinner!

Am sure we'll only make it to a fraction of the list, as we won't be there that long.

I love the Tarte d'Alsace with ham and gruyere. That and a nice salad make a great supper.

I recently used ginger essential oil and it worked great in drinks. Remember when you use an essential oil that it is much, much stronger and you will only need a drop or two. At the risk of being spammy, you can find ginger oil on my website www.mydoterra.com/debraallen.

I like it if it has been roasted, so is crispy.

I can't speak for that small oven, but will say that the Electrolux double wall oven we bought for the California house was the BEST! I loved that oven and hated to give it up when we sold the house. They are making some really fine appliances.
How much did that bad boy cost you?
It was around 6 years ago--I think about $2800-$3000 plus installation. Not steam, but still fabulous. I lost some cabinet space to fit it in. That house was built mid-80s and had one of those kitchens that was huge space-wise, but appliances that were sorely lacking. The wall oven was combined with a microwave. The MW was actually larger than the oven! I couldn't fit a large turkey in there. I was so happy to get my nice big new Electrolux--with two ovens, each larger than the old one. I really miss it. In this house, I have a range with oven--had to replace it to get a large enough oven, but the kitchen here is so tiny, I don't have room for anything larger unless we do a full remodel of that whole part of the house. And at our ages, we are supposed to be downsizing, not enlarging. ;-)
Edited to clarify that the original was an oven/microwave combo. No microwave with the Electrolux.

I have a pair of the scissors--Zyliss, I think. I hardly ever use them. A knife is easier to clean. But I really like the looks of that herb mill. Thanks, Andie!

I am about to take back a product for the first time since I became a loyal customer at their first store in Pasadena in the early 80's. I am not a returner but the coconut oil pan spray just ticks me off. I know coconut oil is solid at room temp - so why did I think this would work? I go to spray and it is clogged solid. Have you experienced this?
I use this all the time and don't really have an issue. Maybe I keep my house warmer? LOL. It does collect around the nozzle, I just wipe it off and no real problem.

I made braised radishes for T-Day. Most people hadn't had them before and really liked them. Put in pan with just a little water and some butter--whatever seasoning you like. Cover and cook for a bit, then take lid off and let water evaporate, so they are just glazed with the butter. I put them around the turkey platter and they are so pretty and just delicious.
