Cameron’s Breakfast Blend
It would’ve been the third morning without Joe. Joe being, my cup of. Well, not exactly three mornings. One morning was supplemented with Mac. Mac being, Mac’s Joe. The chances of getting to the Trader to restore the empty stores of coffee in the cupboard before the sun rose on the third morn were zero. Too late, the store was closed.

Jarlsberg Cheese
Trader Joe’s
September 4, 2015
This is what we call in the US, Swiss cheese. However, this time the cheese is made in Norway. So don’t call it Swiss. Call it Jarlsberg.
The cheese is; soft but firm, easy to cut, mild, and tastes like a mild Swiss cheese with sometimes just a very little hint of sweetness. It cuts easily into chunks which are perfect for a cheese tray or noshing. Trader Joe cuts and repackages this cheese from a wheel. The new wrapping is just a bit loose, so don’t store it in your refrigerator too long or parts will dry out a bit. It’s a good cheese and not horribly expensive at $7.49 per pound.
Price $7.49 per pound Calories 100 per ounce (28 g)

Red Hot Riplets
Hot, Hot, Hot!
If these were labeled gourmet or craft chips, we’d easily be paying 3 times their current price. But they’re not. So get them while they’re hot, hot, hot.
