An ode to Trader Joe's:
I never knew you, Trader Joe
Never suspected I'd join.
I never knew you tasted so good
Never spent there a dollar nor coin.
But Ellie introduced me
To the finer things in food
The quick fix for my dinner
My table's no longer nude.
My husband asked tonight
With what did you spice this fish?
"Made it myself," I told him.
"Did you enjoy the dish?"
Trader Joe you've turned me
To a world of mild lies
For my husband thinks I cooked it all,
But I only make the pies!
I actually can cook things, when necessary, but Trader Joe's offers whole meals just waiting for me in my freezer. It's so easy and cost effective! I know, I'm the last to know. I was intimidated and didn't know what was good there, but Ellie gave me a tour and now I am a converted believer.
What are your household secret tricks?

You are a poet and you know it. My favorite things at Trader Joe's are the gorgonzola gnocchi, Il Fornaio parbaked bread that you can freeze and bake later, spicy peanut salad dressing I use to marinate meat, and the thinly sliced sirloin as a ground beef substitute. I wanna hear everyone else's.
I like their tortillas. And my secret household trick is child labor.
Here is my secret trick: Live with your mom.
poor you where are all your comments?
I would give anything to have Trader Joe's back in my life. Okay, maybe not anything but certainly something very important... And it's been so long I can't remember my regular purchases - except edamame and stuffed salmon fillets. yum.
