These were found at the Internet Archive Wayback Machine website. Nothing ever goes away on the internet. This is the proof.
The links currently go back to the Wayback site – and are dead. I’m working on linking them to this site.
The original site back in 2003 was all about the local stores, recipes, product usage… Quite fun and quite ambitious for two employees to run on their own time.
Towards the end of 2004, the calendar became too much to deal with and I just started posting the recipes. It’s all about ease, right?!?
Another consideration was the Trader Joe Corporate Office was not thrilled with employees running websites on their own.
Can’t say that I blame them! By late 2005 the site morphed into the site we have, today!
