So I went to Trader Joe's for the first time a couple of months ago and was intrigued by the uniqueness of some of the items that the hippies sell there. Been back a couple of times since then (mostly to restock on wine) but the different foods I have bought to try have been hit or miss. Some I really like and some things I throw out after opening. What do they sell that you recommend I try?

You like good beer? If you do, Trader Joe's has some great options. Chief among them is their private-labeled "Stockyard Oatmeal Stout," which is actually brewed by Goose Island, a very popular microbrewery out of Chicago. $1 a beer, and it is a very, very good stout.

They have several other privately-labeled beers that are pretty good. I enjoy their JosefsBrau Dunkelweizen (brewed by Gordon Biersch). Also $1 a beer.

They carry North Coast Old Rasputin, which is probably my favorite beer, as well as some of the more popular craft offerings (Stone, Rogue, Unibroue).

As you can see, I mainly just buy beer at Trader Joe's (and wine, like yourself). They do have a chili pepper hot sauce that is awesome -- it's not really hot, but it has a great flavor.

      Panthers to work out UFL OPOY Hakeem Butler

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      Another source: NFL Rumors: Hakeem Butler to Visit Panthers After UFL Success, Wade Phillips' Praise ZACH BACHAR JUNE 10, 2024 The Carolina Panthers are expected to conduct a workout with UFL wide receiver Hakeem Butler, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Butler recorded a league-leading 652 receiving yards as a member of the St. Louis Battlehawks. He was previously a fourth-round draft pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019. After the Battlehawks were defeated by the San Antonio Brahmas in the XFL Conference title game, Brahmas head coach and longtime NFL coach Wade Phillips told the receiver that "I'm going to tell everybody in the NFL that I talk to that you need to be playing," via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. Despite the loss by St. Louis, Butler still hauled in six receptions for a team-high 59 receiving yards. The 28-year-old was named the 2024 UFL Offensive Player of the Year, as he was one of only two wideouts to have multiple games with at least 100 receiving yards. While the Panthers added Diontae Johnson and first-round rookie Xavier Legette to their wide receiver room in the offseason, they could still use some depth in the form of Butler. Carolina isn't opposed to picking up former UFL players, as Rapoport revealed on Thursday that the team is also "expected" to sign All-UFL receiver Daewood Davis. Although Butler was selected by the Cardinals in the 2019 draft, he did not play as a rookie due to a hand injury and only appeared in two regular-season games as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020. He did not record a catch. Butler signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2023 offseason, although he ultimately didn't make the team's regular-season roster. At 6'5", he has the frame to potentially make an impact in training camp and earn a shot at making Carolina's 53-man roster. If his workout goes well with the Panthers, Butler could give himself another chance to possibly return to the NFL.

      They have all the rookies. The DC game has Ron though. With the new QB. It is weird.  pantherclaw, Bryce sort of is what he is, and in Madden he makes throws the real Bryce can’t make. Here and there. He ain’t ain’t a top QB in Madden though, lots of picks. aone of them lol was the throw that scares the hell out of me when he throws it, out to the boundary... quack quack.
