Edamame and lentil attracted me to the package. The taste kept me in the package. And, by the way, these are gluten-free.

It’s not really dark chocolate. But it’s not milk chocolate either. Here’s the reason, it’s made in the USA. But it’s still good. Too good!
Why does the USA matter? Because, the USA seems to have an aversion to dark chocolate. Other Choceur products I’ve tried were imported from Germany where dark chocolate is typically more robust. While disappointed that the chocolate wasn’t what I was expecting, these are still very good. In fact so good it’s relatively easy to eat the whole 7 ounce package in a short time. At 170 calories per listed serving, and 5 servings per package, that’s 850 calories – about 1/2 of the total calories most of us need for an entire day! So ration yourself.
Price $2.79 (7 ounce package – 5 servings) Calories 170 per serving (10 pieces)

Goat Milk Cheddar Cheese – Trader Joe’s
The good things are, this neither smells nor tastes like a wet goat.
Trader Joe’s – Arugula Pizza – Food Review

May 15, 2016
The crust was crusty. The cheese was cheesy. The tomatoes were tomato(y). The sauce was mild and slightly sweet. The cheese could’ve been more plentiful. The arugula was not noticeable. The center was less done than the crust. The crust was a nice toasty bread. The pizza was from Italy no less. While this is an okay frozen pizza, there’s not much to distinguish it from other quality frozen pizzas.
Price $3.99 Calories 330 per slice (1/3 of pie)

This is not an especially good wine. It’s drinkable, which is more than I could say for some others.

Trader Joe’s Breakfast Blend
This is perhaps the worst coffee at Trader Joe’s. Harsh and not tasting much like coffee at all, this breakfast blend may explain why so many people skip breakfast.
ALDI – Simply Nature Organic Quick Cook Steel Cut Oats – Food Review
05/01/2016
Half between steel cut and rolled oaks, these oats have a chewy texture surrounded by a very thick creamy ‘soup’ . It’s sort of a best of both worlds approach. The package also carries the USDA Organic seal.
Trader Joe’s – Butter Chicken w/ Basmati Rice – Food Review

Butter Chicken
Trader Joe’s
Don’t let the name lead you in the wrong direction. This is anything but sweet and buttery. This is the Indian version of buttery. It’s one frozen entrée where the whole is more than the sum of its parts.

Cherry Brandy Liqueur Cake ALDI
This is another (new?) variation on a theme. One more amazing value ($2.49) in a dessert you’re unlikely to find anywhere else.
ALDI – Priano Eggplant Parmigiana – Food Review

It’s not homemade, but it ain’t bad either. And unfortunately, it’s better than some we’ve had in restaurants.
