You know what goes really well with those papaya-coconut cupcakes?Green Tea ice cream!
I picked up 5 pints this weekend from Trader Joes. No, I’m not a pig. I’m just hoarding.
I once read that if you like something at Trader Joes, you better stock up on it because it may disappear.
Pishaw! That won’t happen to me.
Then, it did!
A few weeks after posting about my addiction to Lucky Country Aussie Red Licorice, it went missing from the shelves and still has not appeared.
The ready to eat udon noodles and frozen gorgonzola and pear pizza have been missing since winter, the bite size cheesecakes (great for parties) make an appearance about twice a year, the gummi candies and frozen vegetarian bean burritos have been missing for a few months, and the Kashi cereal I get was gone last week.
Gelato Classico’s Green Tea flavored gelato is my favorite. They also make a ginger flavored gelato that’s neck and neck in the favorite race. These two can go missing for months before I see it again. I hadn’t seen either flavor in a few months and was afraid it wasn’t coming back, so I grabbed all that was left when it appeared this weekend.
Hopefully, with a little control, those pints will get me most of the way through summer.

I think I read an article about this phenonmenon. I believe they said that since they introduce an astonishing amount of new products every year they can't keep stocking ones that aren't selling as well. It's a bummer though.
You are too funny! I'm totally a hoarder too - you should see my pantry. Sometimes it gets me into trouble...like the 10 boxes of Crystal Light non-alcoholic daiquiri and pina colada drink mixes I had to have from the $ store. Yeah, I still have a ton left and it's been over 3 years!
Trader Joe's just opened here in Minneapolis on Monday, so I'll have to make my way over for Green Tea ice cream. I love that stuff!

Crystal - Prepare yourself to be addicted. The first time I went to TJ's, I thought, "What's the big Deal. The store is small, they have dried fruit, and lots of cookies and candies."
The real light went off when I realized that they sold Ethnic Gourmet's Vegan Pad Thai under their own name and in different packaging for about half what you pay in a normal store.
Have a blast at TJ's.
I love green tea ice cream also. I must say though I have been disappointed with all of the green tea things at trader joes recently. There stuff seems to be getting cheaper quality and more and more manufactured. Maybe its just my local store.
