Happy Friday!
ON a recent trip to Trader Joe's here's what I found, tried, liked, hated.

Haven't tried, but it looked fairly moist.

Hubby loved it, I hated it. Not nearly enough cheese on it.
The crust was ok.

This is new (and good news!)

This was pretty good. Not quite danish, but close enough.

These were good, small but good.

Loved these!

Haven't tried these.  Have you?

These were ok, very dry.  If you make them, add a few splashes of cream to dough before baking.

I LOVED these!

Haven't tried these.  Have you?

Haven't tried these. You?

Pretty good!

Fairly good.

Not good.  I wanted to like them, but there is no cheese flavor whatsoever.

Anyone tried this?

A house on the CC National Seashore (chatham side) collapsed after the recent storm. Here is a
barge bringing over the house parts, inside and out.

chatham fish pier, chatham, ma.

We've had three storms, one was a blizzard, and this weekend we're expecting another one.
I pray all these storms are a nice prelude to a beautiful, sunny, non-rain filled spring & summer.
Before I forget, the winner of the Old Farmers Almanac Cookbook is Lori Stilger (#13).
Congrats Lori please email me your shipping address.
Have a great weekend all!
