Funny you should mention that…
No - I confess to buying a couple of pots of double cream. That said, there are occasionally cows in an adjacent field who have been known to wander in here. If it happens again they might not get them all back…

Looks good Joe
We have had a weird pasta affair
A use things up sauce and plonked in a dish and topped with shop bought sauce and horrible plastic red cheddar that was a substitute from Tesco and baked
It was not bad

1/2 teaspoon of LoSalt. That was one of the reasons for making it - one of the inmates has to have a low sodium diet and has been missing proper butter. Not overly keen on all the additives in substitutes, either. This just has cream and (optional) salt.

It’s frustrating when you have to put the whipped cream on the cake right there and then and you have no more cream

I still have bad memories of “safety scissors”, so blunt they couldn’t even cut paper.
