Many years ago, someone on CH hipped me to using a chocolate chipper to break up Pound Plus bars, much to the benefit of my right arm. She also explained that the best way to use it is to stick it in straight down and use a rocking motion to separate the squares of chocolate. Definitely easier than the knife-tap method.

That same person influenced me into buying that chipper, as well! Good purchase!

My store has a new brand of flour tortillas, with preservatives - doubtless a result of the countless times theyâve had customers complain about their o.g. version which seems to mold within 2 days of purchase on average. They are decidedly meh. I appreciate that I bought mine a week ago and theyâre still not spoiled. Otoh, the flavor isnât nearly as nice. Especially if only warmed rather than butter sauteed/grilled. Somehow the latter changes the entire nature of the tortilla, always in the improve direction.
Thanks for this information. The old type really did start molding almost immediately.
NAY to the turkey gravy. Lacks umami and has too much black pepper flavor. I added butter, soy sauce and salt and still tossed out the leftovers after the meal.
YAY to the maple crullers. Fake maple taste but still good.
Put me down for a big olâ YAY for the previously mentioned Double Chocolate Croissants.
Theyâre essentially the same as the regular ones but with the addition of cocoa powder in the dough itself. I donât think thereâs additional chocolate batons rolled in.
But the additional cocoa powder lends the dough itself a gentle chocolate flavor and it gives these just a touch more chocolate oomph, if thatâs something you think youâd want over and above the regular chocolate croissants.
Both are excellent. As has been said, the TJâs âproof overnight on the counterâ croissants are as good or better than very good bakery versions, so which way you go is strictly a matter of preference.
Now if theyâd just do some plain ones.

They were sampling the fresh refrigerated cornmeal stuffing with roasted apples and dried cranberries ⊠it was very good, so, YAY.
Something new there was Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts, donât know what theyâre like.
Yay to the pub cheese with horseradish. Thereâs the kicker.
They sampled it with the honey wheat pretzel batons and got me to buy both.

That pub cheese with horseradish is a huge yay here as well. We like it with the black pepper triscuits not from TJs

I just tried the pub cheese with jalapeño. I spread some on a homemade bagel crisp and topped it with a slice of TJ sweet/hot jalapeño slices.

Thanks - I have been wondering about the pub cheese (while buying the Pimiento cheese since they started sticking it)

I have bottled sauce and might have to try that concept myself.
I quite liked the baked sheepâs cheese ricotta herbs de provence. Ate it on a baguette with some spicy links.

Havenât eaten it in a long time - they used to have two kinds, one made in Canada, one in India maybe? I found the quantity a bit short, and recall one was better than the other.
Yes there were about five small piece of chicken? It was a bummer.

I just got this yesterday- is no rice a good thing?
Yes. I try to eat as much whole grain as possible. So we buy TJ Indian dishes and toss the rice to consume it with barley. So most TJ entrees mean we toss out perfectly edible rice.

My TJ has Folios brand cheese wraps which I liked better than cauliflower wraps.
