Something Delicious

Trader Joe's just opened in my vicinity about 3 weeks ago, I haven't been yet, but I am looking forward to it. My girl and I have regular skype dinner dates and I have been dreaming up this dish with small chicken meatballs filled with flavor and simmered in broth, with some pasta....Italian wedding soup but NOT. Don't know what it will turn out to be, but I'm looking forward to it.

Hey Mtn,

Go check it out! Give yourself plenty of time because the stores are compact and you are going to likely want to look through the items carefully. There is a lot that they pack into a small store. They do more volume than Whole Foods with much less space. Plus the prices are great so they move volume.

Your soup sounds like it is on its way to Italian Wedding Soup! LOL you can call it the Italian Rehearsal dinner soup.

Perfect plan since we are engaged, though neither of us is Italian,lol. I have been to other TJ's just excited we have one in the neighborhood now. It was a HUGE fight to get it here at all. Three years of negotiations I think. As for our soup I want the meatballs to be crazy full of flavor and tiny, bite size. Made with ground chicken, I love the texture when cooked and a blank canvas for flavor. I think they could be made with soft tofu as well. When I used to work in the school system my school had many children that were vegetarian, (well until it was hotdog roll up days) but I made tofu meatballs for our pasta bar days.

Great! We have recently gotten a TJ'S here as well. I have yet to go, I have missed it from California. But I think I need to go, just to get that spice, the sausage, the green beans...could some one make me a list of that was mentioned here..lol

Whenever I travel I check to see if there is a Trader Joes close by. When I get inside of one I feel right at home. That is a very California store.

Your shopping list comment made me laugh, I have a running Trader Joes list going at all times.

So to recap:

Spice mix
Chicken Apple Sausage
French Green Beans
Dried Mango with Chili
Frozen Pizza from Italy (the box is marked clearly "from Italy")
Dark Chocolate Pudding (this needs a warning label)

Add some Almond milk, Hansens diet ginger ale, green curry sauce and Jasmine rice and this looks a lot like one of my shopping lists.
