Re: Trader Joes

Our little trader joe's drives me crazy. There's never any place to park, They never have the thing you are looking for, they always tempt you with some bizarre thing that sits in the cupboard for two years. The three buck chuck is way better than Goya cooking wine for the kitchen, though.

So the buffalo mozzarella did taste different?

Did you like it more or less than "normal" mozzarella?
I will have to try and find some around here, and give it a go.

I usually mix about 2 parts mozzarella with one part muenster for my pizza cheese. The mozzarella melts nicely, but the muenster adds flavor. A seriously sharp white cheddar also works well for me. Although the local store quit carrying it........ can't find it anywhere. Oh, and provolone does a good job too.

My mom used to use the muenster/mozzarella combination in her lasagna, and I have been doing the same for my pizzas. Don't you just love mom's who take the time to teach their children to cook.

I bought some dough and cheese from Trader Joes.

Also some 3 buck chuck....

Dough did not work for me - was really resistant to keeping shape - like pulling on a rubber band.

The cheese, however, was quite good.


Perlini mozzarella are little tiny balls of cheese and very fun on the pie.

Buffalo mozzrealla has a very different taste than I expected. Very good as well.

And the chuck - was very good for the price!
