51171 Tue Aug 06 13:11:27 -0700 2002 21 2 Los Angeles Area 0 259709 I know we've posted about TJ items before, but I thought I'd share some recent finds that are on my must-buy list: Argentinian Chimichurri Sauce for steak Miso Salad Dressing Chocolate & Strawberry Soy Milk Pirate's Booty (but only the cheese version; not too fond of fruit and caramel) Pear Truffles (god, these are good!) Tikka Masala sauce (comes in a jar; cook with chicken for a quick, delicious meal) Banana Crunch Cereal (this is awesome -- so much better than the Post version and has real dried banana in the clusters) Givrees Chicken Shau Mai Fresh Tuna Frozen Swordfish Also of interest: Greek Seasoned Lamb Chops Mario Batali's Sugo Arrabiato and Pomodoro Thai Shrimp Goyoza Tue Aug 06 13:11:27 -0700 2002 0 Emma 1 259712 TJ's also has a new cilantro salad dressing in the refrigerator section which is wonderful.

Tue Aug 06 16:50:31 -0700 2002 259709 0 Kriss Reed 1 259730 Been lovin' the frozen chocolate-dipped bananas! Tue Aug 06 17:03:04 -0700 2002 259709 0 chris o 2 259736 I found these a little odd... were the bananas brown on the inside when you tried them?? I live near Balboa Island, which has a lot of stores selling freshly-dipped chocolate covered frozen bananas, which I prefer. Tue Aug 06 17:59:26 -0700 2002 259730 0 Emma 3 259740 No, mine weren't brown at all. Maybe you got a bad batch. Tue Aug 06 18:41:50 -0700 2002 259736 0 chris o 3 259769 Nothing can beat Dad's - 1/2 dipped in butter brickle, other in toasted almonds - too yummy!!! I am on the island every day & trying to stay on a diet - driving by Dad's is pure torture - nothing more heavenly on a stick! Wed Aug 07 12:47:02 -0700 2002 259736 0 torta basilica 1 259733 my husband bought a Italian Turkey Meatloaf in the deli case which was pretty good. Tue Aug 06 17:26:02 -0700 2002 259709 0 Diane 1 259734 Chili lime pistachios -- mouth got numb once from eating so many Sourdough wheat bread -- have never found any other bread like it Green chili & cheese tamales (frozen) -- great for lunch in a pinch Dried cranberries -- not as sweet as Craisins and tastes better Tue Aug 06 17:37:37 -0700 2002 259709 0 Can 2 259735 i forgot about the chile lime pistachios! They are so good. perfect boat snack. Tue Aug 06 17:42:56 -0700 2002 259734 0 Diane 3 260116 oh my, you must try the tofutti blintzes, they are in the frozen section,,hit them in the micro for 30 sec a side, then top with some of the TJ peach sauce in the jar,,,deliteful Tue Aug 13 20:21:30 -0700 2002 259735 0 debbie 2 259742 Are the chili limi pistachios in with the rest of the nuts? That sounds incredible... Tue Aug 06 18:58:20 -0700 2002 259734 0 Jeff Pillet-Shore 3 259772 I think they're found in the same section. They also have a habanero variety...it's nice and spicy, but the lime really puts a nice balance to the chili. Unfortunately no lime in the habanero version. Enjoy! Wed Aug 07 12:55:58 -0700 2002 259742 0 Can 1 259738 the fresh-water shrimp - wonderful flavor and great price. Tue Aug 06 18:22:46 -0700 2002 259709 0 chamoudi 1 259739 I don't think any of the following items are new, but they are some of my favorites. Marinated Artichoke Hearts Tomato Seasoning Splash Organic Hearts of Palm Fire Roasted Red Peppers and Fire Roasted Red & Yellow Caponata Marinated Portobella Mushrooms with Red Pepper All the salad mixes including the mache and arugula Frozen Mango chunks - great eaten when still semi-frozen Fruit floes bars - Lime Juice flavor Cooked frozen shrimp Frozen Pasta with Italian Eggplant, Zucchini & Tomato Sauce Canned pineapple chunks - almost taste fresh Portobella Mushroom Ravioli (the fresh not frozen) Tue Aug 06 18:27:57 -0700 2002 259709 0 Robin 2 259741 I've been making great mango shakes with half a bag of frozen mango chunks, about a cup of skim milk, and a generous spoonful of good apricot preserves. Whips up really thick and creamy in the blender, makes two good glasses worth or a big old one just for me. Tue Aug 06 18:54:19 -0700 2002 259739 0 Caitlin McGrath 1 259752 How about their french onion soup, it can be found in the frozen section.....DELICIOUS Tue Aug 06 22:43:59 -0700 2002 259709 0 Candace 1 259768 The Chunky Spiced Apples! Tastes like an apple pie filling. Great out of the jar - AMAZING heated & served over vanilla ice cream. Wed Aug 07 12:27:20 -0700 2002 259709 0 'lil tartlette 1 259773 the pizza dough is as good as i've ever made. bake it on a preheated stone, as hot as your oven will get. top it with tomatoes, some of the hard mozzarella (melts better) and thinlyshaved red onions. basil or arugula at the end. oh my. Wed Aug 07 13:17:35 -0700 2002 259709 0 FED 1 259779 Just finished off their Gelato Classico in Tiramisu (sorry I didn't notice the other flavors)...Mmmmmmm... very decadent. The label accurately warns (or invites)you with, "sinfully delightful, ultra-rich...". I'm in trouble now- I need more. Wed Aug 07 16:00:26 -0700 2002 259709 0 Erin 2 259786 That stuff is great. I've got some of the tiramisu at home, and it's fantasticf, but the dark chocolate is unbelievable. Wed Aug 07 16:35:47 -0700 2002 259779 0 chris o
