Can half&half be subsistuted for cream in a recipe?
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

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.

Bruschetta and wine? That's a good dinner, right?

That sounds perfect, vw. Now I want that instead. Sadly there are no tomatoes and no wine here.

Leftovers are a beautiful thing!

I used to know what leftovers were before I met TCG. Sadly, he usually finishes almost everything, there is rarely enough leftover for a whole second dinner, maybe a little bit for lunch.
