Review: “Whipping cream? Why would you buy whipping cream?”
I can hear you all asking me now. You probably think I don’t know about aerosol technology or nitrous oxide. You probably have images of me sticking my face in the opening of the carton, trying to get a quick high.
Sorry, but I just think that whipping cream tastes a lot better when someone takes the time to do it right. Will I have the patience (or arm stamina) to do it right? I sure hope so, because the dessert dish tonight relies on my ability to whip this cream into a fatty creamy substance.
Not something I buy too often, I sometimes will use the leftover whipping cream in my coffee the next morning. Since whipping cream has nearly three times the fat content of my usual half & half, I can only tolerate this for about one cup of coffee. Any more than that and the coffee starts to taste as if I melted butter into my cup. I do like the process of turning liquid into a semi-solid though. There’s something in the act that reminds me that my limbs are an important part of my body. It’s like meditating on hot coals as a first-day yoga student and expecting to reach enlightenment. Wish me luck. I’m not sure if the last couple of sentences made any sense, but wish me luck anyway.
