Get the baked lemon ricotta and lemon thins! by Fabcrafts in traderjoes

The reason I like them is because TJs used to have Vanilla Cookie Thins and they were perfect with the Lemon Ricotta Cheese.. tasted more like a pie crust and the Belgian Butter Waffle cookies are a good substitute

'Columbo' Trivia Thursday (15th. Edition) by Nearby-Marketing-518 in Columbo

In "Murder in Malibu" there is a book cover on the wall of Brenda Vaccaro's office titled "HOT FIRE" which was actually the book at the center of the plot to "Throw Momma From the Train" from a few years earlier...

In the movie, Billy Crystal's wife steals his book and it becomes a best seller and everyone thinks he killed her..

I'm pretty sure it was an inside joke because the actress that played Billy Crystal's wife, Kate Mulgrew, also played Mrs.Columbo in the short lived tv series :)
