Yum! I could eat that without a cold, if we could get Heinz mac-n- cheese here. I could eat macaroni and cheese by the vat, and have to exert some severre willpower. We have one store in all Buffalo that carries Heinz spaghetti, for which I get the occasional craving. I buy it on the sly because the thought of canned pasta grosses Louie out no end. It's hard to explain to him that it's just this particular one, the Heinz from the UK. Somehow it's lower in calories than its American counterparts, unless there's such a thing as metric-system calories in which case I'm in big trouble. But never mind that, the quality and flavor are superior the Chef Boyardee. (He was a real person, and must be spinning in his grave over what has been done to his recipes.) Blessed be, Baha |

Given what I think of Heinz spaghetti he must be spinning in his grave so much the World's axis is tilting! Far too sweet for me but their beans/macaroni cheese on toast are quick comfort foods for me or if we're both well hungry I'll do egg, bacon, sausage and beans on toast or some combination of that possibly with mushrooms- that's our ideal Sunday morning breakfast!

OK, you're desperately trying to lose weight for a big event, maybe a sister's wedding, and event you really, really want to look good for. Taking chocolate off the table for the ladies... LOL! I haven't been a chocoholic since around 1974. Seriously, chocolate doesn't interest me anymore. There's a store on the mainland called "The Chocolate Tree" where they literally make chocolate, chocolate covered brittles& caramels. And jelly beans! I've seen it many times but I've never been in there. Sweets aren't my thing. what's the one food item that, no matter what, no matter how restrictive your diet it, even when you're not particularly hungry, when presented in front of you out of the blue, you can't resist and gobble down? Crispy potato chips I try to avoid buying them because if I have them in the house I *will* eat them. When I grill hamburgers I even put potato chips on them! I'm not worried about my weight. I just know snacking on junk food all the time isn't good for you. Jill Chips for me, also. For me the size of the bag is the serving size. I prefer my chips barbecue flavored. That used to be the case for me, but I've managed, over time and with great struggle, to train myself to put some in a small container and eat only that amount, once a day. I still don't buy them very often. I did run into a sweet I found irresistible recently. It comes from Trader Joe's. I forget the exact name, but it's caramel popcorn that has been dipped in chocolate. Never mind the chocolate, I will happily eat a whole packet of LollyGobbleBlissBombs all by myself. And then there's the timtam, but we aren't supposed to be talking about chocolate :-) Yowie I have *no* idea what you're talking about, but it sounds delicious. -- Hugs, CatNipped TimTams are *wonderful* chocolate covered cookies! AFAIK, they are sold only in Australia, except that there is a place somewhere in the US that has Aussie products you can order on line. Joy This is a totally evil thread! |

Once in a great while I'll go there if there's something I need that only they carry, but otherwise I stay away, except at Christmas. I always give my son-in-law an assortment of cheeses for Christmas, and TJ's is a good place to get them. Usually when I go there, I'm lucky if I give into temptation only once on a trip. The last time I managed that. Not on that, the item I bought was a bag of Vidalia onions. I was very proud of myself. ;-) Joy |

They have a little odds and ends store outside and a restaurant on the inside (gives you way too much to do for your own good while you await your table). It's a grocery store - but of a different sort. Wonderful speciality items, lots of stuff under the "Trader Joe's" label, Vegan, Vegatarian, Gluten-free, fresh produce, fresh/frozen seafood. If you have special dietary needs chances are one can find it at Trader's Joe's. Then the special treats. I salivate when the catalog arrives. Our local Trader Joe's is across the street from Whole Foods (which we still agree with the joke Whole "paycheck). Still - when both Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are cooking samples, or, in Whole Foods case, having an "event', stopping by can mean we don't have to eat for a week! Plus we've eaten healthy to boot!
