If you’re the only coffee drinker in the house, stick your nose in the can for about 10 seconds each morning for a pleasant wake up. This is one of the best smelling coffees. There’s a brief hint of chocolate when first opened. After that there’s a very nice aroma that actually smells like coffee and not burnt toast. That aroma continues with each opening until the can is emptied.

If you like a Starbucks style coffee, you’ll like this more. The can says extra dark roast. That it surely is!

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)

Trader Joe’s Cheddar & Horseradish Potato Chips
$1.99 wasn’t too much to lose. With a flavor combo like this on the bag, I couldn’t leave them on the shelf. Curiosity got the better part of me. Maybe it was the worst part, because it sure didn’t turn out so well.
