This unusual salad features autumn fruits, perfect for the holidays. Pomegranate juice is now widely available in supermarkets, which helps make quick work of the vinaigrette. Fresh pomegranate seeds make a pretty and tasty garnish.
Place the pomegranate juice in a small pan and reduce to 2 tablespoons over medium-high heat. Combine the juice reduction, shallot, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and oils in a small glass jar and shake vigorously to combine. Set aside at room temperature. Shake to mix thoroughly before using.
Just before serving, place the greens in a large bowl and add half of the vinaigrette, tossing to coat the leaves. Taste and add more dressing as desired.
Divide the salad between 4 chilled plates and decoratively arrange slices of persimmons or pears atop the greens. Sprinkle each serving with walnuts and pomegranate seeds, and serve immediately.

Young Fla. immigrants press Rubio on reform
Young immigrants in Florida are taking their message to Republican Sen. Marco Rubio: They want a fair pathway to citizenship that keeps families united.
Members of the Florida Immigrant Youth Network stood before Rubio's Miami office on Wednesday. They said they had sent multiple requests for a meeting with him but had not received a reply.
Several students then walked into his office and were granted a meeting with Rubio's regional director, Alyn Cruz Higgins.
Student activist and policy analyst Jose Machado told Higgins they want to make sure no more families are separated. The group also asked for inclusion of lesbian and gay families in any reform.
Higgins said she would share their concerns with the senator.

Gossip Girl's Dan and Blair to Kiss Again?!by TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
Dan and Blair may very well kiss again this fall.
That's the rumor going around Gossip Girl circles, even if the circumstances surrounding it are far from clear. What does Michael Ausiello of TV Line have to say about it?
"I'm hearing rumblings about a second kiss early in the season," he writes, "I don't know when it occurs or what the context is. But does it really matter? A kiss is still a kiss."
Agree? Disagree? Elated? Repulsed? Confused?
Sound off on this Dair development below.
dlair fan i love them so much that i just want to meet them i wish an wish in the end of gossip girl they are mairred have kids be in love and have a wonderful relationship together and be a happy family and end so butiful and i am alway going to be a fan of dlair i love them am there #1 fan live them cant stop thinking about it cant wait in the end and when the feel there love togather DLAIR FAN:):D:) love them
i loved chair and all their forbidden love scenes (i.e. piano) have been hot but let's be honest the bar mitzvah one really wasn't....the freeze frame kiss btw dan and blair way more exciting.
Dude, can I say DAIRDAIRDAIRDAIR!!!! I wish they would quit teasing my fragile heart and just get on with it! I need them together so very badly for my psyche to stay intact.
LOLS how are DAIR disgusting? IT'S PENN BADGELY!!! HE'S HOTT!!! speechless with some of the chair fans here... anyways, i agree with @alisha well said! I think we are going to have to wait until half way through season 2 because i think the writers are going to try and please the chair fans but i would really be ecstatic if somehow the father was dan HAHAHAHAHA or louis. I guess a lot of us dair fans actually prefer anyone for blair over chuck.
i will say i actually liked chuck with eva - he was nice and not a completely arrogant selfish jerk. he and serena would be a perfect match really.
DAIR! I love Dan and Blair! I used to be a CHAIR fan. But after watching all the drama and abusiveness, I really, really, really don't want CHAIR or DERENA ever again! I want DAIR! Like Leighton said in a recent interview - She is more herself around Dan than anyone. That's because she feels loved and safe with him. I am tired of the subtle love, though, and I want Dan and Blair to have heated passion like Dan used to have with Serena and Blair with Chuck. I know they feel passion for each other but won't act on it because they are afraid to mess up their friendship. I want DAIR! I hope DAIR is endgame.
@obsesseswithgossipgirl FUCKING CORRRECT. CHAIR CHAIR CHAIR CHAIR :))))) yes chair!!
I use to be a huge Chair fan but then Season 4 happened and I couldn't deny the fact that I like Dan and Blair together. They are the smartest characters on the show, goal oriented and they really get each other. I doubt Blair will have any trouble with being successful with Dan. Love is suppose to kind, understanding, and beautiful. Not dark, intense, and tortured. The love between Chuck and Blair is a first true love thing. It was intense, romantic, and full of drama, that's okay when you're in high school but when you become an adult you need someone stable and in control of their life. And that's what Dan is. Dan for the win!! SN: I feel the producers had this planned out from the start. Strangers- associates- friend- lover- relationship!
I'm all for Chair, but I want some Dair. I just love their chemistry too. But we all know it's gonna be Chair in the end.
obsessed with gossipgirl is right hands down!1!!

Sony Santa Monica design manager David Hewitt has said in an interview that God of War: Ascension will not feature violence against women.
Following criticism that Ascension's E3 trailer was needlessly violent, Hewitt has opened up about the violence in God of War.
"There are some things we've pulled back from," Hewitt said. "I think where this has been an issue is with violence against women - the team's pulled back from some of that and assessed that a little more carefully.
"There are certain things that carry a different kind of resonance that we don't want to get into. This isn't about statement-making in that regard. It's about fleshing out this character."
During the interview with IGN Hewitt goes on to insist that Kratos doesn't relish the violence he dishes out. "He's seeking revenge and he's after his ultimate objective and he will tear through enemies - rip them in half - as quickly as he can.
"There's not any kind of enjoying the moment. There's nothing about this that he's enjoying."

awesome phone
Bought this phone last week to replace my aging Samsung galaxy s3. Absolutely love this phone, it's lightening fast and the build quality is superb. The best thing about it is the battery life, last 2 days easily with average use. The other plus is the screen quality/clarity and viewing angles. The only negatives are the sony bloatware and cheap headphones which come with the phone (not a deal breaker by any means). Expansys did an excellent job of providing great customer service as I experienced minor delivery issues but this was the couriers fault not Expansys. Very pleasing to see that customer service/care is on their list of priorities (few etailers are good at that these days).

Managing your investments and trading account can be a time sometime be a time consuming and painful process. Nobody really LIKES to calculate exposure risk ratios, beta testing, portfolio allocation, etc. But it's extremely important that you do allocate enough time to managing you accounts across the board.
Here are 3 tips that can help managing your investments at little more fun and a little less painful:
- Set aside time each week to review your positions. Choose a time that's quiet and works easily within your own schedule. Don't think you can do this during your lunch break at work and still be able to focus all your attention on this one area. You may have to wake up early or stay up later; whatever the case just make time each week to completely review the risk/reward of all your positions.
- Plan, plan, plan, then trade. All too often I see beginning traders open an account and immediately make 10 trades. Then they sit back and start to analyze? What's the point now! You already made the trade! Good investment management sets aside some funds to invest first, then slowly looks for a great place to put that money to work. You should always plan your trade first, then trade the plan.
- Keep 10% in cash at all times. Looks folks, we are all human and make mistakes (myself included). This is the cardinal rule of trading and investing - keep money on hand for emergencies. I don't care how great the set-up or how "sure" you are that you can make money. If you lose everything and have nothing left to invest you are out of the game. Be smart and keep some money liquid!

The reputation of Constantia wines
Historically, the red and white Constantia sweet wines produced at the Cape during the 18th and 19th centuries were the only great wines ever to be produced in the southern hemisphere. These unique wines were among the most sought-after vintages until they vanished after 1886, mainly due to the outbreak of phylloxera which destroyed the original Cape vineyards.
During these centuries, Constantia wine was the most prized sweet wine throughout the world, particularly highly valued by the kings and the emperors of Europe. From the Prussian King Frederick the Great and King George IV of England to King Louis-Philippe of France, almost all the crowned heads imbibed it. Legend has it that Napoleon Bonaparte, while in exile on the isle of Saint Helena (1815–1821), requested a glass of Constantia wine on the evening of his death.
Appreciated by monarchs, the wine was also celebrated by numerous poets and writers. In Sense and Sensibility, the British novelist Jane Austen recommended to her heroine a glass of Constantia for its "healing powers on a disappointed heart". Charles Baudelaire, in Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil), compares the charms of the beloved to the pleasures of the night and Constantia wine: "Even more than Constantia, than opium, than Nuits, I prefer the elixer of your mouth, where love performs its slow dance."
The famous producers of Constantia wines
In recognition of his development of the Cape, the VOC granted Commander Simon van der Stel a huge tract of land in 1685 – an estate as large as the city of Amsterdam, in the beautiful valley of Constantia on the lower slopes of the Steenbergen. Here on Constantia – after Simon's death in 1713 divided into Groot Constantia and Klein Constantia, also known later as De Hoop op Constantia – the famous Constantia wines were produced.
Although Simon van der Stel gave birth to the legend by producing the first excellent Constantia wines, it was Johannes Colyn and his family successors of De Hoop op Constantia, and since 1778 Hendrik Cloete (who built the beautiful homestead on Groot Constantia) and his family successors of Groot Constantia, who really made Constantia wines internationally renowned.
Character of the Constantia wines
Constantia wines were natural sweet wines made mainly of Muscadel grapes (Red and White), but small quantities were also made of Pontac and White Frontignac grapes. (The original vines were probably imported from France and planted by Simon van der Stel on Groot Constantia and the neighbouring De Hoop op Constantia).
On each farm, about 14 000 litres (140 hectolitres) of Red Muscadel wine (sold as Red Constantia) and 7 000 litres of White Muscadel wine (sold as White Constantia) were produced. Only a few hundred litres of Constantia Pontac and Constantia White Frontignac were produced, and these were often used to blend with the Muscadel wines.
These wines, due to their extremely high quality and scarcity, were 10 times the price of ordinary Cape wines and not available on the open market. The VOC, as well as the British government after 1795, however, claimed a high percentage of the production of Constantia wines from their owners for local and foreign high-ranking people at much less than the market price. This was highly detrimental financially to the Constantia wine farmers up to the 1830s, when the authorities stopped taking advantage of their precious products.
The superior quality of the Constantia wines can be attributed to a combination of positive factors: the quality of its terrain, combining a Mediterranean climate and a temperate sea influence from two different oceans; a particularly rich granitic soil suited to the cultivars ideally suitable for making high-quality sweet wines from; the excellent and careful viticultural and winemaking methods followed by the winemakers; the absence of major vine diseases; and the sunny weather condition during the summer months which allowed the vintners to leave the grapes on the vine until the berries had virtually become raisins. Picking late in March, they kept the must in their well-equipped cellars until the wines had acquired a delicate, full-bodied flavour.
The original Constantia wines, some of which were tasted by C Louis Leipoldt, author of a book on the history of Cape wines, were described by him as follows: "a magnificent, pre-oidium, liqueur wine, unique in its low alcoholic strength for such a full-bodied wine, exceedingly aromatic with a rich, sparkling colour and with a delicious flavour. Its low acidity probably prevented it from having much of a bouquet… It improved with age, as all such full-bodied wines do, but lost something of its colour, becoming lighter but throwing no crust…"
The revival of the Constantia wine tradition
A century after the famous Constantia wine tradition ended as a result of the original vineyards at the Cape being destroyed by the phylloxera plant insect, Duggie Jooste and his son, Lowell, new owners of Klein Constantia (a wine estate neighbouring Groot Constantia which formed part of the original Constantia but not to be confused with the original Klein Constantia, also called De Hoop op Constantia), decided to bring the unique heritage of Constantia wines back to life. Under the influence of the late Professor Chris Orffer, a passionate oenologist, the Joostes began to research and experiment in order to produce a wine faithful to the original vintage.
In order to "revive" the Vin de Constance, as they called their new Constantia wine, the new masters of Klein Constantia selected small-berry Muscat planting material, called Muscat de Frontignac, which had been identified as one of the original cultivars. Since the late 80s of the previous century these vines were planted only on a small section of the vineyards, just over two hectares in all. Like the method applied by the original Constantia owners, harvesting takes place at the end of March, giving the grapes ample time to ripens for a very long period of time on the vine, whence the concentration of sugar and fruity aromas.
Since 1990, when Vin de Constance was first launched on the market, it has become extremely popular with wine connoisseurs, both locally and abroad, especially in Denmark and France, and has been praised for its stunning Muscat flavours. The demand for Vin de Constance soon outstripped the production by far. It is regarded as one of the rare cult wines of the Cape and, possibly, the only truly international one.
Vin de Constance is possibly as close to the original Constantia wine as you can get. It is, however, doubtful if there will ever be a wine being produced on a par with the traditional Constantia wines. That is something of the past because the original vines do not exist anymore. The specific character of those wines made from the original vines was unique and can never be reproduced.

How does a literary historian end up thinking in terms of z-scores, principal component analysis, and clustering coefficient?
In the ten essays collected in this volume, Franco Moretti reconstructs the intellectual trajectory of his philosophy of 'distant reading'. From the evolutionary model of 'Modern European Literature', through the geo-cultural dominant of 'Conjectures on World Literature' and 'Planet Hollywood' to the quantitative findings of 'Style, inc.' and the abstract patterns of 'Network Theory, Plot Analysis', the book follows two decades of critical explorations that have come to define – well beyond the wildest expectations of its author – a growing field of unorthodox literary studies.
NLR 86, March-April 2014
The latest issue of NLR features a symposium of three critics from contrasting philosophical backgrounds engaging with key arguments in Malcolm Bull's Anti-Nietzsche, as well a reply to his critics from Bull himself.
Moretti's collection of essays presents an unorthodox approach to literary studies, and charts the two-decade long development of the pioneering literary critic's philosophy of "distant reading." Taking aim the dominance of "close reading" in the field, Distant Reading demands a radical reconfiguration of how and what we read.
Franco Moretti's Distant Reading was awarded the National Book Critics Circle award for criticism last night at the New School.
The United States is the country of close reading, so I don't expect this idea to be particularly popular. But the trouble with close reading (in all of its incarnations, from the new criticism to deconstruction) is that it necessarily depends on an extremely small cannon... At bottom, it's a theological exercise-- very solemn treatment of very few texts taken very seriously-- whereas what we really need is a little pact with the devil: we know how to read texts, now let's learn how not to read them.

Lawsuit filed to seize Dillsboro damWritten by Becky Johnson
- Newly elected Haywood tax collector races to get bonded in time to take office
- Back to the future: Historic movie marquee crowns Waynesville's Main Street once more
- A new tax collector is in town, but the old one isn't going anywhere, at least for now
- It's just a Bojangle's, but that's a step up for Waynesville's South Main
- Maternity care landscape evolves: Additional OB practices increases choices, competition
Jackson County has formally filed a lawsuit against Duke Energy to seize the Dillsboro Dam and surrounding river shore, using eminent domain to create a public park and in the process save the dam from being torn down.
The county is also seeking a preliminary injunction against Duke to keep the utility from demolishing, altering or removing any part of the dam or nearby powerhouse.
"Duke intends to immediately begin preparing the Dillsboro Dam and Powerhouse for demolition and removal," the lawsuit states. But any forays toward removal would cause "irreparable harm as these historic structures cannot be replaced."
Jackson County wants to transform the dam and surrounding shoreline of the Tuckasegee into a river park and promenade, replete with walking paths, benches, fishing areas and river access. The dam and powerhouse are intended as focal points in the county's Dillsboro Heritage Park Plan, and, therefore, must be protected through a preliminary injunction against Duke, Jackson pleads.
The injunction also seeks to allow county officials to come onto Duke's property. Duke had threatened the county with trespassing charges if it attempted to do so, keeping the county from surveying the property it plans to seize or conduct an appraisal.
The lawsuit claims the county is within its rights to seize the property under a state statue allowing for eminent domain for the purpose of creating, enlarging or improving a park or other recreational facility.
Duke has previously countered that condemnation would interfere with an order from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to tear down the dam. Jackson claims that the "order" to tear down the dam is being misrepresented by Duke and that FERC merely granted Duke permission to tear it down. Once Duke no longer owns the dam, the FERC ruling will become moot, Jackson argues.
Jackson points out in the suit that the hydropower operation at the Dillsboro dam has been offline for five years, and therefore isn't a core part of Duke's business operation. In addition, Duke no longer has a federal license to operate the dam, having relinquished it in anticipation of demolition.
The county would be required to compensate Duke for the monetary value of the dam if condemnation is successful. At the time of filing the condemnation suit, the county was supposed to deposit the money upfront in an escrow account with the courts.
However, Jackson County only deposited $1. The county argues that by seizing the dam, Duke has been saved the trouble and expense of tearing it down, an undertaking that would have cost more than $1 million. That savings should more than suffice as the monetary compensation Jackson would otherwise owe Duke, the suit argues.

As far as thinking killing yourself would ease your pain. Sure, but what about everyone you leave behind to have to live with what you have done. No one, and I mean no one is worth killing yourself over.
Think of the pain he inflicted on you while being married to you. Do you really wish that you were there again, really. She now lives that life. Facebook life of "pretending to the world how wonderful everything really is(not)".
Facebook is not reality. How has he moved on? He is still there, just a different person's life to ruin. No matter who he is with, what house he lives in, how much or how little money he has, he is a pathetic excuse for happiness.
Putting a photo and spewing "love you" on Facebook doesn't equal happiness. It's for show when you have stolen another person's spouse. They know people look at them and judge them. It's guilt and trying to prove to the world that "it was really meant to be"!
Like everyone else said, STOP looking. We all want to know that the Karma bus has run over them. However, their bus arrived, they are together and no matter how unhappy they are, the world will never be told and they will have to pretend to keep up the "soul-mate" lie.
2nd wife - OK, it happens. 3rd wife - er, Houston, we have a problem. 4th wife - AYFKM?????
At 38!!!
Elizabeth Taylor was a hot mess and she only managed 8 in 79 years with 7 different men.
You and I have exchanged PM's when you helped me with something and I know what a kind and sincere person you are.
I know you live outside if the US. I have lived in a foreign country also and it was difficult.
Is this compounding your loneliness and isolation? I know it helps me just to chat to my neighbors or get their help with something. And although I live in a rural area, I'm 30 minutes from two cities. Just a thought.
I know you'll logic it away as me not really knowing you, but I have to say I think you're a beautiful woman inside and out. I envy you that. I envy how much you've accomplished in your life despite the selfish idiot who has done his best to derail and damage you.
He's the damaged one or he, as others have pointed out, wouldn't be on wife four. What's posted on FB- we know it's a front. I don't know of anyone that is completely honest when they post for the world to see. Especially when they have it all open with no privacy settings. She knows damn well you might be looking at her FB. She's baiting you.
Why would someone who is happy feel the need to do that? You were M to him, you know the prize she won. Constantly cheating. Subtle and not so subtle abuse. Steroids IIRC and we've all heard about not only roid rage but what it does to a guy's nads.
Sometimes when we make mistakes we have to prove to others that we didn't. Mom did that when she left dad for OM. Got her tubes untied so she could have more kids (that she abused and neglected too). She cheated on him and left him too. Out of her five kids she has fully rejected me. You have been such an encourager in not letting me dwell in rejection from those I love. For me, you can see that their behavior doesn't define my worth.
Please, please see that for yourself. You're worth so much more than two broken people. It pains me to see you're feeling like this. Especially over two people who are so selfish, thoughtless and cruel. I wish I had the magic words. I don't. Just my shoulder and prayers for you to see the truth of who they are. I would consider myself blessed to count you as a friend.
I wish I could say this was just a momentary glitch in the matrix, that I bounced back better than ever but ... no I've only stopped the downward spiral. I've righted myself somewhat. I feel better.
But in thinking over things, I think what I feel most now (or rather what underscores most of my meltdowns) is fear. I am so afraid. So full of uncertainty. So unsure I can cope. Disaster seems to lurk around every corner. No one can be trusted etc etc etc.
xWH, the *only* good thing I can say about him is that with him the fear abated. I didn't worry about the future, my future.
But now I feel in free fall. Completely unable to survive.
I also feel stuck. That all I have is this job that pays for everything, that if I actually had to provide for myself I'd wind up homeless.
I have no idea what any of this means. Just that it's exhausting. And depressing. Maybe life isn't supposed to be rainbow skittle shitting unicorns and fairies granting wishes, but surely it's also not supposed to be this constant dirge of fear that no effort drowns out. Because the latter is what it is for me right now.

Um, I'm pretty darn familiar with your skillset and resume, and my friend, you would not wind up homeless. You'd get a job quick as a wink in any of a handful of cities you wanted to choose from.
No more speaking lies about yourself. I won't stand for it.
Oh, and ETA... the job's not all you have. You have a strong network of friends who love you deeply, an adorable little Dude to whom you are the world, more discipline and dedication with that crossfit nonsense (says the squishy girl ) than anyone I've met who isn't a professional athlete, an empathetic and caring heart, an enormous intellect and sharp wit, and a family who deep down love you even if they don't understand how to show it. You've got a lot.

Everybody is happy on FB. In reality? Not so much
^^^^^^^^^^^ this from TG is spot on
Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future. -foulton oursler
You think they are all happy and wonderful over there in fantasyland? They aren't.
Marriages that start this way, stepping over the bodies of loved ones as the giddy couple walks down the aisle, are not likely to last.
Jesus fucking christ, if you wonder why I can't get over this shit, I'm sitting here listening to my colleague who sits right next to me call my xWH on the phone and be pleasant to him. FUCK.
Why is your colleague calling your xwh?
I really hope that the whole married 4x by 40 is proof of an impending mushroom cloud of karma. And I know I'm not supposed to care, but my life was practically ruined by this guy so I can't help it. Just to see that he has slotted her into my role, using the same language he did with me ...
[This message edited by cayc at 3:56 PM, February 24th, 2014 (Monday)]
Just to see that he has slotted her into my role, using the same language he did with me ..
That's because this is about HIM, right? Nothing about you. He's the same person he was when he was married to you. And to #2. And to #3. And now to #4.
Don't worry, it's probably all sunshine and roses at first for every woman he chooses to propose to. YOU found out what kind of man he really is. So did #2. So did #3. Just wait. Eventually #4 will find out as well.
Don't feel jealous of any of these women or pine for a man you think is giving the best parts of himself to THEM and not you. He is who he is, therefore the shiny romantic stuff is going to wear off.
Meanwhile, move on with YOUR life and know that he's using that same language (of false promises, loving actions, whatever)because that is what HE does..... and it's likely not going to last.
2nd wife - OK, it happens. 3rd wife - er, Houston, we have a problem. 4th wife - AYFKM?????

At 38!!!
His game has NOT changed. He's only changed the players. The outcome is always the same. People don't change really, and those that do have to have some major soul searching, and he obviously doesn't strike me as the type to ever think anything is wrong with him, it's everyone else, right?

Trader Joe's - "prepared" foods
- Suzy Q Mar 16, 2008 07:31 AM
So I broke down and stopped at TJ's the other day on my way home from the gym. I'm not a huge fan of the place, but I do like their individual-serving-packaged nuts and dried fruits (the cashew-almond-cranberry combo is divine) and decided to take a stroll around the store and see if anything looked interesting. I've tried some of their "prepared foods" (i.e. marinated, pre-seasoned, etc.) in the past and been less than impressed, but I decided to give them another try and picked up the curry chicken tenders.
What a huge mistake. They smelled OK on the grill, but when eating them, the flavor was harsh and very chemical-ish. They were so bad that even the dog wouldn't eat them, so I basically tossed $6.50 into the garbage can. And I love curry, so it wasn't just that it was a new or unusual flavor for us.
I also bought some frozen garlic chicken stir-fry and some chicken and apple sausages, but now I'm reluctant to even try them. Am I just missing some *gem* that TJ's sells?
You can take anything back that you don't like for a refund.
I haven't tried the curry tenders, but I alway keep some of their rice bowls in the freezer for lazy days. I also like the lemongrass spring rolls.
I really like their rice pudding. My wife and kids enjoyed the Risotto with asparagus on a time-strapped dinner night. Other than that, not much success.
I've had mainly bad experiences with their "simmer sauces" and frozen entrees(excepting the minimalist neapolitan pizzas). New-ish products at my locations include carne asada and whole carnitas(not pre-shredded); these are surprisingly decent with the carnitas being my definite favorite. I also sometimes enjoy their roast beef and bleu cheese sandwiches(depends on the quality control of the factory line). However, I've mostly whittled down my TJ's purchases to frozen(un-marinated) fish, milk, juices, very rarely cheeses, two buck chuck, and the odd impulse buy. Okay, impulse buys make up the bulk of my TJ's shopping, but the aforementioned are the core and what gets me in the stores.
re: Jacey
Depends on how and what you're cooking: the uncooked shrimp is perfectly good(I lament the disappearance of the TJ's rock shrimp from my markets a couple years back...they were perfect for po-boys) and the tilapia(regardless of what you may think of tilapia) fries up wonderfully flaky. I would never buy their scallops or calamari or thicker-fleshed fish including frozen salmon and tuna(who on earth wastes money on those)?
It also depends on your skill and methods of defrosting and cooking.
I'm not a TJ's diehard either but of their prepared foods I do enjoy their frozen vegetarian pad thai. Had a very bad experience with their fozen spanakopita but was too lazy to bring it back. Have yet to find a "gem" but I just bought a bottle of their olive oil, I'm hoping that will be a gem.
re: moymoy
O yeah! That Vegan Pad Thai is the awesomest! I used to buy stacks of them and eat nothing else....
Its a terrible waste to live near a Trader Joes and not to buy That delicious frozen noodle delight. A terrible shame.
I don't like the frozen rice/noodle bowls--they taste chemical to me, as do the simmer sauces. However, I really like the frozen biryani rice, veg tempura, veg masala burgers, and Tarte d'Alsace "pizzas". My son loves the frozen mac'n'cheese so much I call it crack'n'cheese and only buy one box at a time, otherwise he consumes them in mass quantities!
I don't like the refrigerated prepared foods either, the wraps are soggy and taste stale. The soups were meh. Those chicken/apple sausages you mention are OK but the Aidell's are better.
re: coney with everything
The vegetable masala burgers - a misnomer, they're not imitation burgers but savory Indian-style potato-based vegetable patties - are a big favorite, always have at least one box in my freezer and they don't stay there long.
I can vouch for the frozen spring rolls of coconut chicken, and lemongrass chicken. Vehetable gyoza in green and black pkg are pretty decent too.
Something like "Frozen garlic chicken stir fry" sounds completely wrong to me. Don't expect some magical presentation of stir fry when the vegetables have been frozen. Freezing vegetables completely changes their texture. The point of stir fry is for the vegetables to retain their crispness. This is an impossibility if frozen.
Their prepared foods are really hit or miss. The hits are awesome and the misses are pretty blah. I get their sausages all the time, but they make two different kinds. The precooked ones are just OK, but the fresh ones in the meat section are pretty good. I'd say a step between Acme and my local butcher. We like the pork and garlic and the chicken with red wine. I'm actually making the chicken sausage with peppers tonight! The chicken breakfast sausage wasn't as good as the dinner ones, though.
I agree that the mac & cheese is out of this world. Love the frozen vegetables, BBQ Chicken Pizza, tomato sauces, and frozen hors d'oeuvres for partys. It's really up to you and your tastes.
re: jessicheese
I like their mini-tacos. So greasy.. but I guess that's what makes them good! In a way they are a little bit like the Jack in the Box variety.
re: monkuboy
I just discovered those(the chicken variety, anyway). I've been pleasantly surprised how tasty they are...compared to the other TJ's "Mexican" products I've tried; some of those are horrendous. I don't even bother deep-frying them(hmm...lotsa frying mentioned in my comments on this thread :), I just pop two or three in the microwave for a late night bite. Those and some El Yucateco kutbil-ik, Herdez salsa, and maybe some TJ's guacomole. Perfect midnight snack.
re: Jeanne
I plan on trying the beef mini tacos. Good to hear they get a thumbs up.
The hummus in the refrigerated section is pretty good. I always have some on hand for a quick and healthy dip for veggies. Unlike the national brands sold in the major grocery stores, TJ's doesn't contain any HFCS in its ingredient list. Plus, I think it tastes a lot better, too.
There are a few very good items in the freezer case: three-cheese pizza, pork potstickers and chicken taquitos come to mind. But most of the prepared foods are pretty dismal. If those chicken and apple sausages are the fresh ones from the meat case, they'll probably be okay. You might want to have a Plan B in mind when cook the frozen garlic chicken stir-fry, though.
re: tastelikechicken
I agree, I like TJ's for staples. Your basic cheddar cheese, sourdough bread, pasta, oils, drinks. Then a smattering of other stuff is good. I like to dress up the organic frozen cheese pizza's. The whole carnitas make good taco filling. It's really about the basics for me though.
re: tastelikechicken
I agree. I actually shop a lot at Trader Joe's, but I like to cook. Their organic ketchup is great and has no HCFS, and I've recently become a convert to their real mayo. We get dairy, olive oil, cheese, juice, wine, WW bread for toast, salsa and their meats are decent.
I'm not a big fan of prepared meals anywhere, and TJ's doesn't magically make them tasty. I find that as a general rule, their frozen meals are as good as or better than stuff I get in other stores, but we're starting with a frozen meal baseline. It's not going to replace home cooking.
We buy some of their crackers, etc. for my toddler and she's a fan, but in terms of prepared meals we tend to stay simple -- frozen mac and cheese, Tarte D'Alsace and potstickers, and their frozen meatballs are pretty good too.
re: tastelikechicken
I stay away from the frozen/prepared foods at TJ's I think the real gems are the basic ingredients...
I agree. Tried some TJ packaged Thai rice stuff. Ugh.
I've had similarly unimpressive experiences with most of the frozen TJ's entrees I've tried, with one exception: their frozen four-cheese mac 'n cheese. Sublimely cheesy goodness!
I was also a huge fan of their hot & sour soup in a jar, which alas they discontinued last year.
I recently tried the curry chicken tenders and agree that they were nasty. I will definitely not be repurchasing....
Here are some of my favorite prepared foods that I keep purchasing...
1. All of their goyza (veggie and chicken are my favorites)
2. Frozen mandarin orange chicken
3. Frozen artichoke spinach dip
4. Don't know if this counts but their cabernet pot roast is quite yummy, just discovered this last week and my hubby is already begging for it again
re: ericalee
I also like the (new on the East Coast) egg white chives salad.
Trader Joes is very hit and miss indeed. Those chicken tenders are utterly repulsive. Your dog was spot on (sorry) in not touching them.
BBQ Roast Pork. Comes in a bag. It's really quite good and I generally don't care for TJs prepared items. This is flavorful and a snap to heat up. I served it with some roasted potatoes and sauteed kale. YUM.
re: Gigi007
I love the cornmeal crust pizza... I get at least one a week.
I also love the frozen chicken Quesadillas... they taste homemade!
the one almost always safe frozen foods are their desserts. the cakes and pies are for the most part good and reasonably priced. while many ppl like their mexican food,i have not had good luck with them. frozen pizzas are decent and jams and other basics
we just tried the pre-marinated chicken asada for the first time. verdict was "meh". will not repurchase, but will eat the leftovers. also bought the burgundy marinated lamb tips(?) but didn't cook them yet.
I love the gyoza, the fiber bread... agree it's hit and miss.
Frozen foods I like:
Korean kalbi (cooked them on my indoor grill)
Beef tamales
Chicken empanaditas
Tarte d'Alsace
Some of the other items I've tried have been dismal. I also like the Chicken Breakfast Sausages (meat section).
I too was very disappointed with the chicken curry tenders, did not taste as good as making chicken and a jar of their Korma sauce.
I do like the pasta dishes that come in a cardbox box from the non-refrigerated shelves. In some cases it's whole wheat pasta too, which is all I can eat these days.
What do people think of the egg white chives salad in the prepared food section. I tried this out from TJ's when I was out on the West Coast and loved it. I kept on buying it when I was out there. However, when it finally became available on the East Coast, I'm not a fan. For some reason it tastes different and the portion seems not as generous, even though it appears to be exactly the same.
re: MsDiPesto
It aint cheap, too! I don't get why the one in LA was so much tastier.
re: Jacey
I've noticed great variation in taste with TJ's prepared and packaged foods. Their unsliced "loin" of smoked salmon, for example - someone brought one to my house and it was fantastic, smoky and flavorful. When I bought one for myself a few weeks later (same exact packaging) it was boring and bland.
It may be related to what I've heard about Two- (or here on the East Coset, Three-) Buck Chuck, they they get a variety of different wines from different producers but sell them all under the same label, so one batch may be wildly different from another.
re: operagirl
I could eat a whole tarte d'alsace by myself. I overcook it (according to the directions) and it comes out spectacular.
Their Polenta Provencal is a staple in my house. I add ground turkey and asparagus. It makes life easy when I'm just getting home from work at 6 and have to leave the house again at 7 for a show. I can rest easy that my kid's eating something somewhat good.
I went in tonight and got the chicken chili verde burritos. It was pretty good, but not great. My big problem with their frozen and prepared foods is the high calorie and fat content and small portions. Even if I leave caution to the wind the caloric intake seems to be a little too much. Like others have said the staples are great and a good value. I do love the green bean crisps. Even better if you add extra salt.
re: free sample addict aka Tracy L
I like the gorgonzola gnocchi, the gzoyas, and the chicken/lime burgers. Far and away the best thing they sell, IMO, is the frozen chocolate croissants.
re: Emm
I adore the chocolate croissants. They are great for a lazy Sunday breakfast with a cup of coffee!
Some of my favorite TJ prepared items are:
Vegetable Masala Burgers
Pork and Vegetable Potstickers (my 6yo son would eat these everyday if I let him)
Quattro Formaggi Pizza
Spicy Ranchero Egg White Salad
Sweet & Sour Tempura Chicken
Frozen Butter Chicken
Frozen Chana Masala
Frozen Paneer Masala
We are Punjabi, and frozen indian products are some of the best we've had.

Dr. Matlaga is a wonderful doctor! I have seen her several times for a variety of GYN issues. She takes the time to listen and asks intelligent questions about items I do not think to bring up, but often are relevant to the diagnosis. She has an amazing ability to focus in on a precise detail and then zoom it back to a macro level in a very logical fashion. On several occasions she has called me after the visit to follow up and ensure the treatment prescribed or medication is working ok. On two occasions, she referred me to specialists, both of whom were outstanding and solved my issue. I still see one of the specialists, who regular confers with Dr. Matlatga about my progress. As far as schedule promptness, I usually try to schedule my appointments for early in the morning because the practice is so popular the schedule is often packed by the afternoon. When morning isnât available, I simply bring a book and think of it as âme timeâ. Frankly, I think the packed schedule at the practice is a good thing...I wouldn't want to go to a doctor in a major metropolitan area that had openings in the schedule constantly. Over the years Iâve learned the schedule at the practice can often be re-organized due to an emergency patient development mid-day. Is this really that unexpected??? The practice delivers BABIES!! They donât come on schedule! Am I sometimes inconvenienced when itâs 3pm and Iâm the one stuck in the waiting room for a 2pm appointment? Sure. But you better bet when I'm the patient in the middle of a difficult pregnancy getting wheeled into an OR and need the doctor ASAP, I expect to take precedence over the routine office visit patients. An inconvenience isnât the same things as a problem. Dr. Matlaga is a gem of a doctor and Iâm glad I found her. If you can get into the practiceâs schedule, itâs well worth it.
I am not certain where the previous two criticisms of Dr. Matlaga comes from - she is one of the best doctors I have ever had take care of me - and I work in the medical field! She worked with me through a difficult pregnancy and was always caring and reassuring. Her office is very busy, which is the one drawback.
I needed a referral since my usual doctor was out of the office. She provided it which I appreciate that. But when she asked what was my issue and I tried to tell her she literally cut me off and was said something to the effect of "Alright, alright I'm writing it right now... Ok, bye" and HUNG UP! I feel for any patient that has to deal with her I really do.
Saw this doctor and she seemed rushed. Sghe spent only less than five minutes with me and didn't seem to care about the questions I had. Such a turn off!

Practical Chess Openings is a basic openings book covering all the major openings, in alphabetical order. At the beginning of each section is a general description of the opening and its history, including the names of famous players who played it. The opening lines are in Descriptive Notation and are arranged in columns from the most popular to the least popular. Nowadays chess grandmasters do not study opening books. Instead they work with computer databases with millions of games in them, and then run them through chess analysis programs like Fritz, Houdini and Rybka, searching for new ideas and for flaws in their rival grandmaster's analysis. Amateur chess players cannot compete against this. We must just play for the enjoyment of the game without any hope of ever making grandmaster status. Having a book with the latest most up to date lines is of no added value. A serviceable, shorter and highly readable book like Fine's "Practical Chess Openings" is just as good and perhaps even better than a new book crammed with all the latest stuff.Reuben Fine was born on October 11, 1914 was still only 23 at the time of his victory at AVRO 1938. There is little doubt that he could have and probably would have become the World Chess Champion, except that World War II intervened. Reuben Fine was both one of the world's strongest grandmasters of chess and one of the world's leading authorities on psychoanalysis. Reuben Fine was remarkable not merely for having two successful careers, but for achieving top levels and being world renowned in both fields. Fine took up chess in his youth, became a master as a teenager and at age 17 won his first of seven US Open Chess Championships. He was invited to the great masters tournament in Pasadena 1932, won by World Champion Alekhine, one of the strongest tournaments ever held in the United States. Fine's victories in a series of European tournaments in 1936 and 1937 established Fine as a top contender for the World Chess Championship. This led to his greatest result ever, his tie for first in the strongest chess tournament ever played, AVRO 1938, a double round-robin tournament to determine who would be the next challenger to World Champion Alexander Alekhine. Fine tied with Paul Keres, won more games than anybody, and finished ahead of future champion Mikhail Botvinnik, current champion Alekhine, former world champions Max Euwe and Capablanca, and Grandmasters Samuel Reshevsky and Salo Flohr. Fine won both of his games against Alekhine. During the war, Fine could not travel to Europe, so he concentrated on writing chess books. His books covered all aspects of the game. He wrote Modern Chess Openings, Basic Chess Endings and The Middle Game of Chess during this period. He also played in several US Opens and US Championships. He won the US Open seven times, which was every time he played. After World War II, Fine realized that he could never make a decent living writing chess books and playing in chess tournaments, so he had to get a real profession. He chose psychology and became a psycho-analyst. He played in a few tournaments after World War II, but not many. Most famously, he was invited to play in the 1948 World Chess Championship tournament, but he declined to play. This has been controversial to this day and is still often discussed. He died on March 26, 1993.

The Cheap Bastard Guide to Dallas
By Alice Laussade
Jason Ringenberg's career path has taken a number of detours, no matter how you simplify it on paper or whose side you take. His longstanding band, Jason & the Scorchers, has been an alt-country favorite since its debut in 1981 and has regularly been picked to be the next Next Big Thing, a fate that has so far sadly eluded it. After a handful of mythic and mediocre releases and one semi-split, Jason & the Scorchers released 1998's Midnight Roads & Stages Seen, the double live album that, as anyone who has ever seen the band can attest, should have been put out years ago. Although well received, it was simply more preaching to the converted, and it ultimately didn't move the needle very far. Again.
As much as Ringenberg wanted to break up the Scorchers at that point, he and the rest of the band decided the best thing to do would be to call it a "hiatus" and move on separately for the time being. Ringenberg hadn't written an album's worth of new material since 1996's Clear Impetuous Morning, and the break offered by the live album merely reinforced his need to return to writing. As he began to write again, Ringenberg chose to make the songs he was working on extremely personal, primarily because he never intended for them to get much further than his living room.
"Most of these were written for the pure fun of writing songs and for little gifts for my family, quite frankly," says Ringenberg via phone from his Tennessee farm. "I wrote 'A Pocketful of Soul' as a birthday present for my wife, I wrote 'For Addie Rose' so I could sing a song to [daughter] Addie Rose, and on 'Oh Lonesome Prairie,' I just had this hankering to do a song about my heritage. So I wasn't really thinking 'album' when I was writing a lot of that material. As more songs started coming together, it was obvious I should start thinking about a record."
When Ringenberg began tentatively singing these scrapbook songs in public, the response he received indicated to him that maybe he should reconsider releasing them. His deal with Mammoth Records--which released the live album--was dissolved when Disney bought the company, so he decided to start his own label (called Courageous Chicken) and release the album, A Pocketful of Soul, himself.
"Until I started getting out and having people hear it, I thought it was just such a personal experience to listen to it, I didn't know that anybody else would get into it," Ringenberg says in retrospect. "It really connected with a lot of people on some pretty deep levels. Not everybody. A lot of folks didn't get it, people who were into energy music, or people who were more into the rock-and-roll part of what I've done in the past. But at that point, I started realizing that this was something beyond just an indulgent thing for Jason to do."
This isn't Ringenberg's first foray into the solo realm. Eight years ago, armed with major-label money and guidance, he threw his trademark hat into the solo ring with One Foot in the Honky Tonk, credited as simply Jason (going for that Madonna/Cher cachet, one would assume). The album was a pastiche of ill-conceived writing partnerships, overblown production, and poor promotion, and it sank accordingly. Ringenberg's life was in such a shambles at the time, he allowed the album to develop the way it did and was ultimately ambivalent about its failure.
"The first record shows myself as an artist completely out of control," Ringenberg says. "And I'm not blaming the people involved with that record for that. It was as much my fault as anyone's. I just didn't have a vision of what I wanted to do. I was really messed up after my divorce and after the Scorchers broke up, supposedly permanently at that point. I was crushed. The fact that somebody wanted to make a record...I was totally happy with that. But the idea that Jason could compete in the world of Clint Black and Garth Brooks was completely absurd. Then, it didn't seem so far-fetched."
Once Ringenberg decided to record A Pocketful of Soul, his first concern was studio costs, since he could ill afford to incur any. He turned to George Bradfute, former guitarist with Webb Wilder and the owner of one of the most eclectic and comfortable home studios in Nashville, the Tone Chaparral. Ringenberg's folio of quirky and intimate songs couldn't have been in more capable hands.
"George is sort of a legendary underground Nashville cat," says Ringenberg. "I call him the Van Dyke Parks of Nashville. He's just one of those guys that hangs out and makes great music. None of his records have ever sold big, but they always have a vibe about them. It made sense financially, because he records incredibly cheaply. It made sense from a production standpoint, because he can play anything and does."
When Ringenberg started bouncing around label names, he decided to keep that aspect of the project just as personal as the songs themselves.
