Oh no! Hood LC Milk is gone!

I have made a similar sauce starting with vinegar in the blender and adding a variety of whole dried chiles and a bit of salt. *We have a BBQ place here that makes a similar sauce (used to be two but one shut down) and I have never quite been able to duplicate it but this is close. *We much prefer it to the sweet tomato based sauces though those have their place. *Just bought an interesting sauce from Soupbase.com, it has a few carbs but you don't want to use very much of it unless your mouth is lined with firebricks:http://www.soupbase.com/view.asp?cid=2701*Had some on chicken and it was quite nice.

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. |

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. -- Jean B. |

I was afraid this day would come and it looks like we're really 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. http://www.hood.com/Products/prodListColl.aspx?id=862 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. 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. -- Jean B. |

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. |

It's very useful, if one doesn't want to use copious amounts of cream! -- Jean B. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. --Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) |
