Trader Joe's fix



I made a trip to Trader Joe's this morning and it was glorious.  No crowd, fresh goods and some new things to try.  I try to buy two or three products that I have never bought before and I am usually very pleased.  Look at this orchid!  Joe has great prices and this was $13. and change.  Dunkers.  If you have not tried these with your tea or coffee you are missing a treat.  (I have bought these many times.) Since I have a new and useful brownie pan I bought Trader Joe's truffle baking mix.  I'll let you know how this is.  Then to go with my recipe for clotted cream I bought pumpkin spice scone mix. These dried orange slices looked delicious so in went the package in my bulging shopping cart. (I only went in for a few things...you know how that goes.)

Have you had Joe's Argentinan red shrimp?  Wonderful.  His langostino tails which I put in my mac and cheese makes a fancy, tasty dish.
Also in the frozen section, I am trying the Thai shrimp gyoza pot stickers...new to me.  I'll let you know. Note:  These are delicious and they go right from the freezer into a skillet--follow the easy directions and lunch was ready in minutes.  There are microwave directions too, but I don't have one of those. (Yep.  I don't have a microwave.)

To the doctor

We are off to the doctor to have Andy checked out since he has had two falls.  We thought to wait until his appointment on the 20th, but aft...
