I am woman enough to admit that I am a much better mommy to infants than I am to toddlers.

Joe is a much better mommy to toddlers than I am.

During the week, she goes to daycare. Where we pay someone to take her crap. Literally.

Maybe you need to ask WWMMD? C'mon, you don't want Joe to be the better mother, do you? Don't get him lactating again!

WWMMD? Honey, the tranq gun is in the hall closet. Don't shoot her at too close a range, but don't let her get a running start either. Remember to lead your target.

As for lactating, I stopped taking those pills more than a year ago.

I've given up.

There will be no napping today.

Me and Napoleon. Over here. Cursing and speaking French. Waiting for Bill and/or Ted to come and take us away to Waterloo.

Hugs for Aims.

THE Look for MFNlaw

Can half&half be subsistuted for cream in a recipe?

{{{Aimée}}} Fly east and we shall cavort in DC, minus children and husbands of any kind.

Ha! I got THE look!

edit: sj, I have done it withou any adverse consequences, including in my alfredo sauce.

{{Aimee}} I am so far from being able to imagine not wanting to take a nap if one is on offer. Kids are freaky.

Depends on the recipe, sj. Half and half will be thinner than cream, and also has stabilizers that sometimes do wonky things. That said, I know this from watching America's Test Kitchen, not from my own experience - I tend not to care about the effects of whatever substitutions I have to make to avoid going to the store.

edited three times to fix some really atrocious typing and re-typing. Jeesh!

What are you making, sj? Does the recipe call for light cream or heavy cream?

Thanks! I am going to try it in a quick sauce of proscuitto and peas, because the meat market is closed, so the sausage and polenta I was going to attempt to make is on hold for another night.

Hopefully some added cheese will thicken things up. It's all about avoiding leaving the house right now.

I think half and half will be fine in that kind of sauce, sj.
