I ate some of this potato salad when I was sick with a cold/sore throat/cough.

It tasted like a normal potato salad, and it was soothing for my sore throat. It was OK since there weren't any overbearing flavors, and the potatoes weren't too mushy. It tasted about the same as other grocery store potato salads.

For preparing this spring onion rice noodle soup bowl from Trader Joe's, I added in all the seasoning from the packet, however, I only put in a little bit of the optional oil that came with it.

I followed the microwave instructions that stated to pour water to the lower inside ridge and microwave the bowl for 2-3 minutes. I microwaved it for 3 minutes since 2 minutes didn't seem like it would be long enough, and it came out fine.

The soup base was a little bit sweet, and it was also a little peppery, but I liked that neither the sweetness or peppery-ness was overbearing. The texture of the rice noodles was also good and went well with the soup taste.

The overall taste and texture of the noodle soup bowl was better than the average non-ramen noodle bowl from a grocery store.

I don't like pumpkin pie custard, but I do love pie crust, so when I tried some of Costco's pumpkin pie, I mainly had the crust.

Costco's fresh baked pumpkin pie definitely has a delicious pie crust! The pie crust is flaky with a nice, buttery taste. Also if you warm it up, the crust kind of tastes crepe-like.

My boyfriend says the custard part of the pie has a robust pumpkin flavor (not an artificial pumpkin taste) and is pretty sweet and also delicious!
