No luck for me so far at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's or Wegmans (who never had it before). Tue Feb 22 19:18:19 -0800 2005 0 James G 1 932392 Rodman's in Rockville had an imported yogurt in their refrigerated case. Sorry - I don't recall the company, but it was well over $1 for 4-6 oz. Tue Feb 22 20:19:33 -0800 2005 932388 0 Looloo 2 932396 I always would buy their tzadaki at TJs in Balto. When I asked why it had been missing, they said something about some food import thing...I don't remember the details. I said I'd look elsewhere, and they said something to the effect that NO ONE SHOULD HAVE IT, at least legally. (I did buy some other type of tzadiki at Whole Foods, but it wasn't as good, btw.) Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.... Tue Feb 22 21:04:13 -0800 2005 932392 0 baltoellen 3 932397 oooops....just reread your post...I guess the operative phrase is "back anywhere." sorry, I haven't seen it.... Tue Feb 22 21:07:44 -0800 2005 932396 0 baltoellen 1 932410 Rodman's Friendship Heights and Rockville stores have it--the 0%, 2% and sheep/goat milk, which is my favorite. I'm guessing that TJ's isn't carrying it because they can't get either the price or the quantity that they want-- the import problem that the company was having has obviously been solved. Wed Feb 23 01:18:31 -0800 2005 932388 0 zora 1 932427 I saw it yesterday afternoon at Brookville Market in Cleveland Park. Whole milk, 2%, skim and the whole milk with honey. Wed Feb 23 10:40:15 -0800 2005 932388 0 BluesA 1 932492 Yes Foods on Columbia Road and i think the one in Cleveland Park. I was soooo happy to see it back. Thu Feb 24 09:34:36 -0800 2005 932388 0 lindylu 1 932539 A few weeks ago, a cashier at TJ's told me that they would be bringing it back. He didn't know when. Thu Feb 24 16:20:23 -0800 2005 932388 0 TM 2 932545 Which location were you visiting? No one at the ones I have visited (in NoVA) was aware of any plans for its return. According to Wegmans, their NJ store had the yogurt until the recall, and they did not know if/when it would return. Thu Feb 24 17:25:11 -0800 2005 932539 0 James G 1 932585 I love Total Greek yogurt, too, but after I watch an episode of Alton Brown's Good Eats that shows how to make yogurt cheese, I never have to buy it again. It's pretty easy to make and doesn't take that much time to do :) Sorry if this is a bit off-topic or you already know this ;) Just my 2 cents. Fri Feb 25 13:23:35 -0800 2005 932388 0 brooke 2 932688 I found this link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_19495,00.html Link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_19495,00.html Sun Feb 27 18:34:40 -0800 2005 932585 0 Roe 2 932773 Does this yield a yogurt that is thick like the Greek yogurt? Mon Feb 28 21:22:57 -0800 2005 932585 0 James G 3 932851 James, definitely! You can check out Roe's link for the howto. What I do differently is that, instead of cheese cloth, I use paper coffee filter. A few of the filters on top of a strainer, then yogurt, and another few more filters before top it off with a plate and any kind of weight (jam jar, food can etc.) Usually, after 15 minutes, I'd take the whole setting out to drain the liquid off from the bowl underneath (I don't have deep-bottom container to use for this). After that, you can leave it in the fridge for as long as you like -- well, until you reach the desired consistency, that is. The longer you leave it, the thicker it becomes. P.S. Go for whole milk yogurt only. I tried the low-fat/fat-free and find that the end result wasn't as good. Hope this helps! Tue Mar 01 17:02:17 -0800 2005 932773 0 brooke 4 933411 Not that anyone is still following this thread, but just in case, I have now made two batches of yogurt following this method. For the first batch I used 1 qt of Horizon organic milk, 1/2 cup of organic low fat plain yogurt (can't remember the name of the company, but Stone something), and 2 Tbs of a dark Russian honey. The end result was not too great, but passable. For the second batch, I used the same milk, 1/2 cup of full-fat Total Greek yogurt, and 1 Tbs of a lighter honey. The result was fantastic, and once strained in my yogurt strainer the texture was virtually indistinguishable from Total's own stuff! I now need to figure out a better way to keep the yogurt mix warm during the 3-12 hour period when it is supposed to remain at 115F. I have been putting it in a covered container wrapped in a heavy towel and placed in a turned-off warm oven. Wed Mar 09 17:15:08 -0800 2005 932851 0 James G 5 933427 I have no idea if it is readily available in DC, but here in Spain they make "greek" yogurt with sheep's milk and it is even richer and creamier than the bovine variety. It might be worth asking around at the Dupont farmer's market to see if you could get your hands on some to continue your experiments.
