Major omission from NYT piece: Trader Joe's everlasting legacy will be having launched Pirate Booty.
Major addictive items not mentioned: those Morroccan blanched almonds with rosemary. Puffins. Tagine simmer sauce. Cheap vermont cheddar. Sesame thin crackers. Kashi crackers. The pink wine with the rose on the label. Your addiction here: ______
My vote goes for: Gnocchi al Sorrento - from frozen to tummy in 7 minutes (without a microwave) and one of the five things Ben will reliably eat.
Also - frozen party meatballs. Unbelievably good and the second of the five things Ben will reliably eat.
Finally – Greek yogurt, peach flavored. So rich it’s like eating frosting.
Masala Simmer Sauce
