What's for Dinner, Wed., April 27, 2016

Pizza. Just a plain ole' ordinary pizza with onions, peppers, and sausage on it. In one part, I might put chicken. I'm using TJ's pizza crust, which is both delicious and easy.

Salad. The salad has Bibb lettuce and romaine, and it also has chopped celery, pears, Swiss cheese, and walnuts. The dressing is creamy/sweet.

I'm using TJ's cod pieces (trimmings, basically), which is both cheap ($3.99/lb) and convenient. Besides, I would hate to slice up a perfectly good cod loin just for soup.

ps: Yeah Cher - TJ's pizza dough is also cheap and easy - and good! If I had a mixer with a kneading hook, I'd do it myself. But I don't, so TJ's gets my business.

To me it's not worth $1.50 to mix the dough and knead it, even with putting the kneading hooks into in the dishwasher. You are so right about the price. The price for two pizza crusts (I think about 10&quot is $2.99, at least in northern NJ. That is a good price.

Now, since you brought it up, I'd like to point out another very good TJ deal: chicken, vegetable, or beef stock. I shopped all the stores here: Aldi, ShopRite, Stop 'n Shop, etc., and TJ's is the lowest per ounce and it also has the best variety: cage-free chickens, low-sodium, etc. $1.99 for a 48-oz. container.

It came out pretty good.
