My point is that cutting corners sucks.

So don’t make lasagna?

Yeah, and homemade with effort is even better.

Because they’re Anarchists?

Ah, cool. I have a number of Indian and Chinese grocers in my area so I tend to go with that :)

I see that on the shelf all the time. I have never had a good experience with Thai Kitchen stuffs.

haha... that too! I took a chunk out of my thumb the other week :p

Hm. I just have to assume there’s more than just that. TJ’s isn’t about pure organics, but their food tastes fresher after frozen than anything. Our big bit has been their Greco-Roman pizzas... And I tried Newman’s pizzas before as a quick... “lemme turn on the oven” meal.

OMG now I want fries!

Haha... yeah. I have my own set of spices I default to.... like I think everyone does :) Mostly it is dependent on the person being served the food :p

My “choppin’” skills are superb! I always hand-cut stuffs.

Also, watch your Trader’s Joes... they contain corn syrup.

Lol! I’ll pan/oven/grill everything regardless! If I worked 40 hours a week and cooking was something more of a concern than a love... I’d probably look for every microwave trick :p

IF you have the time and ability to make fresh fries... they’re soooo worth it.

Hm. I’m one of those people who like to pretend the microwave doesn’t exist :p I generally can do the 50 minutes easily for such.

Oh my! This sounds delicious!

I have great success baking fries fresh. A few potatoes cut into proper sticks and some olive oil with base seasonings. Takes awhile, but when you agitate/flip halfway add some pepper/cayenne/paprika along with a bit of garlic salt and you have a tasty, baked tray of crispy fries as long as you aren’t worried about…

Thank you! I’m always looking for new ways to try stuffs. I’ll give this a shot with some spicing up :)

TJs is head-and-shoulders above anything you can get in a traditional grocer. I usually cook fresh every day (I can and love to) but Trader Joe’s is the only stuff I get that is frozen and doesn’t taste like crap. Plus, it tends to be cheaper to boot.
