Simply put: This is a dystopian Christmas dinner. We’ve got guest co-ho Brian (aka Evie’s husband now!) sharing in a low-effort, only-slightly-sad holiday feast courtesy of Trader Joe. Not every dish is a gift, but at least one cheesy pick could be considered the reason for the season. Not on the menu but certainly on our minds: TJ’s floor wine, why side dishes are the real star of the holidays, and the tragedy of the Star Wars Holiday Special. 

🛒 In the cart:

• Trader Joe’s Grand Reserve Meritage Red Wine
• Balsamic Glazed Bone-In Beef Short Ribs
