New Love...Trader Joe's

How can I count the possibilities...by way of choices that I love among the selections at Trader Joe's and why-in-all-that-is-holly did I not figure out sooner when I first saw one of their chain stores, that it is not a restaurant! "I mean, really!" Even after I knew it, I still kinda blew it off; never went into the store. It just is one of those thing that go under the radar never to be seen again...or is it?

I am already in town, took a ride with my sister to a local plaza or to some, depending on where you are from or your viewpoint, a small mall, so she could look for a product in a pharmacy. Low and behold there it stood in all its glory calling to me, "Come...come...come and see the mysteries that lie within."
"Okay", I thought. It is time to bite the bullet and see what all the hollah-ba-loo is about in the store known as Trader Joe's.

"Who-knew!" The place is awesome and in spite of being located in an otherwise and often consider higher living standard town of Cambridge, the prices are amazingly affordable; they are for most items but not all. But hey, that is a given no matter where you shop, right? "Right you are!" So...moving on.
This blog is for reviews and other cool stuff like cooking dishes.

Today's spotlight is Trader Joe's Pumpkin Caramel Sauce. The caramel taste like pumpkin pie in a jar.
But like any pumpkin pie; grandma's pumpkin pie where you can taste spices like nutmeg swelling around your taste bud. The nutmeg, pumpkin, and sweet caramel flavor create a marriage of combine flavors that really work. Like most first encounters, it can be awkward at first. The flavors stands out from one another and they are not sure if they should what to do...they linger, get closer, than mingle together into something nice. Checkout what I did with a jar Trader Joe's Pumpkin Caramel Sauce...
