I don't think I've ever seen light whipping cream. Can't remember the
last time I saw light cream although I know I've seen it in the deep
dark past. What I see now is half & half and heavy whipping cream.

I just looked at my carton of heavy whipping cream. No stabilizers,
but I didn't expect to see any. What surprised me is it's
pasteurized, not ultra-pasteurized. Yay for Trader Joe's!

I don't have a very sweet tooth and all this sweet stuff discussed puts me
off. I have never seen, or heard of, flavoured cream or even sweetened
cream (although that is possibly because I have no interest to look for
them) I will have a look next time I go shopping but I don't have a lot of
hope of having anything to report.

The cream I buy is 'double cream'! It is thick but it pours easily and I
use it either in cooking, or just a pour a wee amount over jelly (or
whatever)!

Never seen anything like that here. I shall try to remember to look,

I mean a hand-cranked egg beater. Works faster than a whisk.

During a

power

outage

I'm not likely to be cooking anything that requires elaborate
preparation.

Or I might, since I've got a generator capable of running the
entire house, including air conditioning.

It won't do the hot tub, though, so we'll be roughing it.

Actually, I was talking about vanilla flavored whipped cream in the can, but
I do use a lot of vanilla flavoring as well. I prefer the vanilla bean
paste, but if I run out, other vanilla is fine too.
