Skinny Cow/Slim Cow
This just answered my other question. I'll be sure to measure my bulk ice
cream if and when we buy some. "Prairie Roots" wrote in message ... Thanks to your suggestion to WEIGH rather than measure my ice cream portions, I've found it much easier control this now than in the past. Frozen ice cream doesn't conform easily to a measuring cup. Just getting it out of the container is a challenge--I'm either breaking off tiny chunks or grabbing half the carton. So throwing it on the scale and seeing all those tiny chunks add up without also having to squeeze it into a cup makes it easy and worry-free.

Skinny Cow/Slim Cow
We've had the ice cream sandwiches and bars all year. They just added the
bulk ice cream recently. "Linda J" wrote in message ... A&P and Dominion in Brampton and Mississauga, ON, started carrying Skinny Cows about 4 weeks ago. Linda Date: Sun, Feb 8, 2004, 6:08pm (EST+5) From: (Julie) Hi Fellow Losers, In Costco yesterday I found "Slim Cow" ice-cream sandwiches and bought a box of them. Haven't been able to find "Skinny Cows" but the Slim Cow has about 3 points. How many in Skinny Cows? I wonder if they are the same thing with a different name in Canada. Regardless of the name they are very yummy! Julie |

Chocolate Cake? Did someone mention chocolate cake?
You will know it when you see it! Very dark chocolate. Quite tall and very heavy. I did have a piece last night - what a buzzzzzzz. I think that when I sliced it up, I got about 12 pieces out of it maybe 14. It appears to freeze well. Last night's piece was not dry. It is also not all natural like the one I made with 40 pounds of butter and chocolate but..... On Sun, 15 Feb 2004 02:59:50 -0600, Joyce wrote: Oh, just what I needed to hear ...

It's funny, because the thought of scooping into measuring cups never once entered
my mind. Guess it's that laziness in me ... using measuring cups would have meant washing an extra dish! LOL Bowl goes right on the scale, icecream into the bowl .... one dish, over and done with. Most all of my food was/is portioned this way .... pasta, rice, etc. I found it so much easier to use that scale. I also felt it was much more accurate. Using measuring cups it was easier to put just that extra bit in ... using the logic that it still was WITHIN the cup so must be a cup. G The scale didn't seem to lie ... ounce, gram, whatever ... I KNEW exactly what I was eating and had to account for every little bit.

If you mean the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough ice cream, the
carton says a serving size is 74 grams. I figure I'm getting MORE ice cream for the same 2 points as a sandwich because I'm NOT eating those silly wafers. Just the good stuff.

Skinny Cow/Slim Cow
Yes, it is. And a long time coming. Thanks, Lee, for pointing this one
out for me. On Mon, 16 Feb 2004 21:37:40 -0600, "Miss Violette" wrote: an NSV for you, Lee Prairie Roots wrote in message .. . If you mean the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough ice cream, the carton says a serving size is 74 grams. I figure I'm getting MORE ice cream for the same 2 points as a sandwich because I'm NOT eating those silly wafers. Just the good stuff. Had a 74g serving tonight. Stayed within points. I'm satisfied.

Guess it's that laziness in me ... using measuring cups would have meant washing an extra dish! LOL Bowl goes right on the scale, icecream into the bowl ... one dish, over and done with. Most all of my food was/is portioned this way ... pasta, rice, etc. I found it so much easier to use that scale. I also felt it was much more accurate.
