Trader Joes

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.

    • I thought this presented an interesting point. It is fair to wonder now, about switching the two QBs as so many tried to do that first year where Bryce was trash and CJ looked great.  It is almost the reverse scenario now and I wonder what CJ would look like here with better weapons better coaching and better protection. Overall, compared year one.  If each player had been in the other place for the three years. I would love to see CJ with this team now.  Just to see. 
    • I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.  
    • This makes me wish we took a flyer on Quinn Ewers late in the draft
