Tracking Trader Joe’s Blog: Thumbs Up
Chalk it to the wonders of the wired world. Looks like there is a blog dedicated to activities in the TJ world called Tracking Trader Joe’s…including a discussion on the discontinuation of our lovely Trader Joe’s Hot Bell Pepper Relish!

Possible Trader Joe’s Hot Relish Substitute?
More than one reader has lamented about the discontinuation of Trader Joe’s Hot Bell Pepper Relish. One dear reader has found what he thinks is a substitute at his local Cost Plus…in fact, he thinks it’s the exact same thing.
Since Trader Joe’s private labels much of their inventory, perhaps this is true. Can anyone else confirm this?
“I am one of many people missing the hot relish.
My wife discovered “Mezzetta express Deli-style hot bell pepper relish” in Cost Plus in Torrance CA (Los Angeles Area).
If they are not the source of the TJ hot pepper relish I would be amazed.
They also have Mezzetta sweet pepper relish which has exactly the same flavor without the slight hotness.

“Seriously…we’re giving away a ton of free pizza. Don’t miss out.”
No time specified, but I got this little card handed out to me at lunchtime downtown.
Editor’s Update: This will go on until midnight. You will get a medium pizza. You can not order it in advance. You don’t need a coupon but they’ll be passing those out anyway!!

Met a buddy who knew the right Chinese food place to check out…Grubgirl had a craving for wonton soup and this place gets an A+. A big bowl of wontons, with plenty of meat in them, savory broth, and, the pleasant surprise was that there was some tofu, fish cake, and meat also thrown in!
