I wasn't ever really big fan of them for a long time but we have one thats pretty close, and their prices are actually pretty good on certain items. There's some pretty interesting spices that are normally maybe two bucks a bottle. They might not always have specific things for maybe your region, I'm not quite sure about that.this is all i get on their site

I don't go to do all my grocery shopping there but what I need specific things like fresh herbs, they're still some of the best and cheapest. The cheese prices are really good, but you'd be an idiot to buy any sort of proteins from them other than maybe charcuterie.
Produce is normally pretty decent, but the surprising thing is some of the Frozen stuff is actually really tasty and I don't buy a lot of those things normally. The only thing though is the stuff that they stock sometimes rotates out seasonally so you might find something you really enjoy and them it's gone in a couple of months.
I do hate the fact that the store is so goddamn small and most of the other people running around in there just stupid soccer moms and leftist. Anytime I go though I typically bring the wife home flowers because they last a good long time and are extremely affordable for what you get.

yea for me, if i drive out to trader joes by the time i'm there, 2 more minutes out and i could be in costco instead
i mean don't get me wrong, i'm glad i'm able to have the variety now, i mean it could be vastly worse, like whomever that poor slub is that has to pay $20 for a jar of raos
yea gimme inconveniently placed trader joes any day

The one by us is maybe 7 8 minutes away, and there's an HEB right across the street so I'll typically go there and then pop in a trader Joe's afterwards to pick up those couple of things I might need for a meal. I was on every big fan but I really grown to like some of the stuff they offer, despite Bidenomics, the prices haven't gone up near as much as the regular grocery store.

Trader Joe's is also going full shitlord in an argument probably going to Supreme Court to overturn the national labor board as unconstitutional like the Exxon ruling.
It helps the press are calling them Trump like and all pissed about it

Elon Musk and SpaceX are right about the National Labor Relations Board being unconstitutional, argues Trader Joe’s
The agency’s structure violates the “separation of powers” established in the U.S. Constitution, argue Musk, SpaceX, and now Trader Joe's.

Yeah, the hour to get room temp has never worked for us. Always too cold still. We'll do a couple hours at room temp or some time in the oven proof setting.

Posted a while back about my failure making a skillet chicken and apples recipe. Honey crisps were less than a dollar a pound this week, so said fuck it, I’ll try it again. Got the thin sliced chicken this time and made sure to pre-prep everything instead of trying to do it all mid cook. Turned out a whole lot better this time. Husband, however, discovered he doesn’t like chicken with sweet flavors, lol. Won’t be making it again, I guess, but at least glad I could do it properly. The parm mashed potatoes were still dope.

I go to Trader Joe's for a couple reasons. 1. the "nub bin." When they cut their cheeses there are always left over bits. They price these really well, and so for very little money I get to try all the different cheeses they have. My wife and I will have a cheese assortment plate with a glass of wine in the evenings. It's very civilized.
2. Easy cheat meals. My family loves appetizers. Trader Joe's has an amazing selection of Asian, Greek, and other appetizers that can be heated up quickly, and are delicious. We all have our favourites. They have way better prices on that sort of thing than any other store in the city.

This is a man that loves his wife more than the truth. It was probably just too sweet and he was trying to be nice.
I'd be curious to know the recipe and what modifications you made.

Yeah, he loves bbq chicken, general tso's, etc. so I'm just gonna go with he wasn't a fan of the apples or what not. That's alright. Can always tell when he's not a fan of stuff when the plate isn't empty in less than a minute. I appreciate him at least letting me try some new stuff every now and then.
This was the recipe: https://recipecenter.martinsfoods.com/recipes/243229 Only change I made was thinner chicken so I had an easier time cooking it and added some Fireball sweet cinnamon heat seasoning that we got for Christmas as well.

paldo very good jjajangmen i can see why my friends recommend it, it uses a sauce packet not powder. but at this point theyre putting in ramen and i feel like i'd rather use a buckwheat noodle, and at that point i guess i'd might as well go all in making it or now find a bigger sauce packet instead.

Do you normally have different levels of tolerances for sweets? Honeycrisp tend to be pretty sweet already.
I bet some vanilla ice-cream would have helped.
I'm just joking but it does sound really sweet.
