ACK!

End of the school  year! Chaos and mayhem!

Taking a week off. We need to buy some more stuff to review, anyway. We kind of ate it all before getting the information off the back. Oops.

It's time for some fun, frozen stuff, don't you think?

Okay. Next week, then.

Trader Joe's Cornichons

Today, especial for you, by Robert:      They're almost gone, because they rule.  These are Trader Joe's Cornichons!  They're tiny, French-style pickles.  Ingredients: Cucumbers, water, vinegar, salt, onions, mustard seeds, tarragon, garlic, pepper, flavor. How do they taste?:  They are quite crunchy and tart, with tarragon and mustard notes. What do we love?: (1) The crunch, the tart, the size, the utter deliciousness.  They offer more vinegar bite, and a decidedly different flavor profile than American, or Italian, pickled produce products.  If you need your pickles sweet, this is NOT your pickle, but if you're ready for something different, please enjoy! What do we not love?: (1) About a year and a half ago they disappeared, then returned with a new formula involving slightly less pickling spices, herbs=slightly higher sour content, relative to French pickle flavor.  They may now be too sour ...

Trader Joe's Organic High Fiber O's Cereal

I am not even going to try to address the people who are like, "What is this gross cereal? Are you 80?" If you are not interested in fiber, I don't know what to say to you. I don't hate you or anything, just, well, some of us need some fiber, OKAY? Ingredients: organic whole grain wheat flour , organic wheat bran , organic evaporated cane sugar, organic oat fiber, sea salt, organic caramel color, natural vitamin E. Nutrition Blend : niacinamide, vitamin C, niacin, iron, zinc, vitamin B6, riboflavin, thiamin, folate, vitamin B12. How does it taste?: The underlying assumption I (Shin Ae) have with a cereal like this is that taste is secondary. Maybe even tertiary. The point is 9 grams of fiber . Also, 6 grams of protein, which is nothing to shake a stick at when it comes to a breakfast cereal. (I am not even trying to use geriatric-themed sayings, it is just HAPPENING. SPONTANEOUSLY.) Anyway, how does it taste? You mean you still want to know? Okay. Uh. A little swee...

Trader Joe's Freeze Dried Strawberries

Okay! We will start at the beginning, which means what we've got in the house right now. Trader Joe's Freeze Dried Strawberries, unsweetened and unsulfured. Pretty simple. PRETTY AWESOME. Ingredients: Freeze dried strawberries. How do they taste?: Really, really good. Four out of four people in our family like them. They taste like...strawberries. Less squishy. Otherwise, similar. Squish isn't a flavor, but you know. It adds a certain SOMETHING to the fresh berry, right? What we love: (1) They aren't sweetened, so that's nice if you are trying not to eat added sugar, obvs. (2) Unsulfured. In our opinion, this always tastes better. I (Shin Ae) am always put in mind of the very bowels of hell when I taste sulfur, which is not masked by the flavor of any food, no way, no how. I even get really sad when I taste it in wine, which is pretty much always. HATE SULFUR. Anyway, none of that here, so that's a win. (3) Our kids like these. Freeze-dried fruit in ge...
