Episode 85: Trader Joe’s Cannelés De Bordeaux

21 Apr, 2009

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master

Today’s guest is Lisa Creech Bledsoe from TheGlowingEdge.com and she surprised me with a French dessert that had all the makings of an amazing treat. This is mainly due to the fact it had alcohol in it!

The Trader Joe’s Cannelés De Bordeaux may sound fancy. But does it live up to it’s fancy name?

Don't pronounce the 's' :-)

Bourbon Vanilla isn't alchy, it is a type of vanilla bean. Y'all were a little too optimistic on the alchy factor!

Lisa Creech Bledsoe

I DEMAND A REMATCH! Or at least we need to try it again, Gregory, dude. I WANT CARMELY WITHIN. I mean custardy within. Mmmm, yep.

Do over!

PS: The directions weren't totally clear, it's true.

BTW..forgot to mention it earlier. Nice Gummi Bears reference! I'm a huge fan, I loved that show growing up and got the series on DVD!

Now if only I could find a store that sold Gummi Juice!

You win some, you lose some--it's appropriate that you've got a sporty co-host!

Bear Silber

They make "Nipple Cookies"? No one told me about this.

I love how you put the links to both Stellas and the wiki for Chinese Mooncakes.

Sage move on taking the stars down....I'd say just an update after proper preparation would suffice. Don't worry sir....it happens to the best of us as times :)

Really enjoyed Lisa (she kicks butt...literally :P, check that girls website everyone, she's intense). I took a few boxing lessons once and mad was I tuckered...you'd think hitting a bag wouldn't be hard but after an hour I was exhausted....I think more than I've ever been.

I'm really enjoying these guest reviews, very lively and lots of great interaction.

Wow. Pat and Stephanie, you guys are probably right. Well, chalk this up to poor directions then.

Typically products dumb it done with pictures and written directions for a reason. So that hacks like me follow the directions better. I have stripped the rating tag off of this product and amended my post above in red.

Hmmm. Maybe Lisa and I need to review this product again....

Hey Greg,

I'm a big fan of your show, although I am from Germany and cannot buy anything of the stuff you show :-)
Alas, I just love the style of your blog... it does not depend on being able to actually eat what you're presenting.

On a sidenote: For the last three weeks, I have been learning like a maniac for my university exams, which I finished yesterday (I'm an MA now). During this time, I watched about 50 episodes of your blog, which in a way really helped me to calm down and stay focused.

So, thanks for helping me finishing my M.A.!

You rock.
