I recently had a TJ item - vanilla bean cookies. Absolutely delicious. I don't think there is a Tj anywhere near me - good news - I won't be able to buy the cookies - bad news - I won't be able to buy the cookies. ;0
I very seldom go to Trader Joe because it's just too far out of my way, but when I am in the neighborhood, two things I usually pick up are a bag of frozen seafood (shrimp, scallops, and squid) to use in my jambalaya; and they have this cheese wedge that is English cheddar on the top and bottom with Stilton in between.
I've only used the Trader Joe medley, and it works great in my jambalaya! Never had a problem with mushy or fishy.
Budding foodie here, and I must say that I spent two days reading this entire post! I have a TJ's barely 6 miles from my home, and I've never been. Now thanks to you fine folks, I have a shopping list 1.5 miles long . I can't wait to try some of these items, and to explore my local TJ's, I will report back as soon as I get my taste test on!

I don't even know how many posts I have on this thread, but I don't think I ever mentioned their frozen "Karat Cake". It's a small cake, which I appreciate, and as good or better than any carrot cake you've ever tasted, complete with yummy cream cheese frosting on the top. Be sure to take off the paper collar when it's still frozen as the frosting really sticks to the paper. I try to keep one available in the freezer for drop in company, but mostly when the two of us are in that "gotta have it" mood.
((((((((MA))))))))) I'm so happy to see you posting again!! Smooch..
Thanks for the heads up on the "karat" cake. I love carrot cake but rarely make it because it's too much for the two of us because it isn't my partner's favorite, but chocolate cake is another story!

Have never been to a Trader Joes, but as luck would have it they are opening two stores locally in the next couple of months. Have been to Balduccis in NYC and Dean and Delucas, but looking forward to this grand opening.
