Re: DCCC in Northern CA

[Guest guest]

Thanks to everyone who replied. Yes, apparently, the key is to ask

for " farmers cheese. " I found the Friendship brand this morning at

Market Hall in the Rockridge area of Oakland (near my home). They

immediately knew what I was asking for. It looks a lot better than

it sounds.

Also, Sheena, thanks for the WH tips. I was eyeing the Santa Cruz

applesauce this weekend but wasn't sure if it was legal. Will

definitely check out the dates too.

> Hi Debbie and Hannah, What a coincidence! Hanah, I was at the

Whole Foods market in Cupertino this morning. and Debbie, I used to

live in Berkeley! Nice to know that there are SCD folks nearby. I do

not know who posted the original question, but yes, Whole Foods does

have DCCC. Don't ask for DCCC next time you are there, ask

for " Farmer's cheese " . I have also found DCCC under the name of

Farmer's cheese in Persian markets. It tasted different (much better

actually) so I was never sure however if this was the same as SCD

DCCC, so I would stick to Whole Foods. Fyi for anyone interested,

there are some nice legal snacks that Whole Foods carries. I know

there was a lot of discussion about Larabars recently, which Safeway

recently started carrying but they are cheaper at Whole Foods. I

stick to the cashew bars as there is no concentrate in it. A few

people, including Marilyn, posted recipes to make your own date bars

or pit your own dates and stuff them with chopped nuts, coconut,

etc. I highly recommend this as it is cost effective. At whole

foods, they sell date logs/dates rolled in nuts, cocunut, etc in the

dates section that are like this if you do not want to make you

own. It is SCD legal. Also, I purchase the Santa Cruz applesauce

(just apples, no other fruits) as another SCDer wrote in to them and

verified that the ingredients are legal and there are no additives.

For those days when you want to take a break and not make all your

snacks, it's nice to have these things on hand. Best,SheenaUC - 8

> I shop at the whole foods in Cupertino and they sell the

Friendship Farmer's cheese which is supposed to be the equivalent to

DCCC. I know Mollie Stones in Greenbrae also sells Friendships

farmers cheese. I think there is a specialty cheese store called the

Cheeseboard or something similar in Berkeley and you could try them

if you can't find the farmer's cheese at Whole Foods or Mollie

Stones.You should have no problem finding it,HannahUC 20 yearsSCD 6
