 Try not to let it happen again. I've been here tapping my foot since 5:30 in anticipation and confusion. Glad you cleared that up, sleepy head. | |

 I rarely put sugar in whipped cream, and when I do, it is just the barest pinch. cream itself has a sweet taste, and I feel it should be the texture/flavor that is a complement, not to overwhelm | |

			I use cream to make chocolate a lot--it really doesn't need much sugar added.  When I do add sugar, it's about a tsp, maybe two per pint--depends on the dish, of course.  Cream really doesn't need much...

			With shock and horror I just realised that this is a World countdown   You lucky, lucky people. Germany has Xmas on the 24th !!!!! which means someone just pinched a shopping day from me. Not to mention the curing time for my chutney & figs in vodka (standard present, so doesn't count as present anymore  ) |

  Sounds painful. I think I'd pass that particular traidition on to someone else in the family circle. Let another carry that torch for awhile.  Nah, then you'd miss out on the kudos.  Nevermind. | |
