I make barbecue sauce in large batches and then freeze it. It lasts a
long time and tastes as good as most of the ones you'd find at a
barbecue restaurant. I do use tomato sauce and splenda, but the
carb count is reasonable as long as you don't use too much at one time.

screwed this time. Hood's CalorieCountdown LC milk is gone! They've
come out with several new products called SimplySmart and the existing
CalorieCountdown ones are gone. The bad news is the SimplySmart is
low fat and NOT low carb. This just happened because I just bought a
carton of the existing CalorieCountdown chocolate this weekend.

This was one great product that AFAIK, will be impossible to
replace. It's really sad that we're back to the low fat thing
again. We can all contact them and complain, but I doubt it will do
any good. Probably 6 of us left here and I don't know how many of you
had it available where you are. Hood is based in MA. I'm sure the
product just didn't move well enough off the store shelves.

That is a tragedy! So, now I have to use cream? I did so like
having this product!

Good side of that is that you can get lard.

So I'm in a Southern town and ask the cabbie where can I get lard, and
he says, "That's the first time I've heard that question in the
pluperfect subjunctive".

Chortle. The first time I heard that it was shopping for scrod in
Boston - Where can I get scrod? ;^)

Somewhere I have a t-shirt that reads, IIRC, I got Scrod in Boston.

Oops. Just noticed that this thread is somewhat old. I will add
that I just got Calorie Countdown here near Boston within the last
few days. I HOPE that means it is still being produced--and that
the store isn't just putting out what they already had.

The confusion was caused by me. It disappeared from my supermarket
here in NJ, which was the only one carrying it. I went to the Hood
website and looked under milk products and it was not there. From
that, I concluded it must be gone. However, by googling for it I did
find it on the Hood website under it's own product category, seperate
from all the other milk. Which is kind of strange.

But, I don't think the future looks very good for this. A few years
ago, many stores here had it. So, with less shelf space and less
sales, I wouldn't be surprised to see it be discontinued.

of Hood products in the other stores.

I read the rest of the thread and cancelled my responses.
Unfortunately some news servers don't honor cancellations.

I am happy to say I bought some of the product in question today.
I do have to go fairly far afield to do so though.

It is pretty good stuff, and the 1% is tasier than the 0%.

It's very useful, if one doesn't want to use copious amounts of cream!
