2 cups of Milk

Hello Foodista,

Couple of questions for you. Do you ever manage to get any sleep? You have an amazing amount of information and links, I just don't know how you do it.

My other questions is about Heavy Cream. I honestly have never seen that in any store in my area of the country no matter how hard I look. All that I can find is Whipping cream. Are there substitutes that can be used?

I honestly believe you know everything about food and if you don't you sure know how to find out. Maybe you can post something about Heavy Cream someday.

Thanks and keep up the awesome work.
Brenda

Hi Brenda! Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you like the site :) Heavy cream is the same as whipping cream. It's also sometimes referred to as heavy whipping cream.

Cheers!
