Me and Half and Half

I was doing some cooking the other day. I made creamed swiss chard. It sounds bad, I know, but it was a vegetable we received from our CSA and I needed to use it. It tasted wonderful, probably because it was made with half and half. I was wondering what to do with the remainder of the pint of half and half, so I started putting it in my coffee. When it was gone, I realized how much I missed the half and half, especially in my afternoon iced coffee. I went to the store yesterday to pick up a quart of half and half and was delighted to see how inexpensive it was compared to the flavored coffee creamer I usually buy. As I read the label, I saw a little flag that read "Great in Coffee and in Cooking." Hmmm, I thought, coffee and cooking, those are my two passions.

Me and half and half were meant to be together.

  1. A quart of half and half = 1 cup?????

    Just a philosophical joke for my Foodies out there.

  2. Wal-mart has fat free half and half and it tastes just as good I think! I know what you mean about missing it in your coffee......regular milk just don't cut it after you've had half and half. ;)
