a good find for me at least at TJs is their tortellini in a mushroom sauce with asparagus....cant remember what the name of it is...tried it as a sample and ended up bringing some home....amazing....makes a small dinner for 2 if you add a salad and a nice bread....
right now the stuff at TJs thats making me crazy is the fall bakies...gingerbread and pumpkin pancake mix oh myyyy!
im a fan of their sweet and tangy trail mix also...but the things I most look forward to there are....
1. free coffee samples...so far Honduran is my fave...but I'm eager to try Ethiopian....
2. the dark chocolate tahitian vanilla caramels....its like legal crack....
yup....love me some trader joes....

I have to stay away from the legal crack-candy. There is too much there that is too good! Have you ever tried the chocolate pudding that they sell in the dairy case? If I am not mistaken its called Dark Chocolate Pudding. So one day years ago I did a dinner party as a gift for a Femme friend. There were about 12 people there I believe. At the last minute my dessert plan fell apart and I had to improvise. So I ran over to Trader Joe's grabbed some of the chocolate pudding, picked up some fresh raspberries and made a sauce to pour over the pudding. The pudding is very thick and decadent.

Well this dessert could not have been more simple, I just scooped some pudding into martini glasses, topped it with the raspberry sauce and viola.
This was served with some late harvest gewurztraminer and good Port.
The Femmes loved the dessert so much that they were licking the glasses clean. I will never forget that image. Beautiful Femmes, dressed in gorgeous attire, licking the martini glasses. Loved it.
