Interesting thought

[Goodweed of the North]

Now before anyone get's all technical about inferences about concerning word choices, I find it interesting that whipping cream is considered light or heavy depending on the fat content. More fat is labled heavy while less fat is labled light. I completely understand that this means that the cream is heavier in its percentage of fat to water in heavy whipping cream, and vice/versa.

But here's my point. We all know that water is much heavier per unit volume than is fat. So having more fat in the ratio of fat/water found in cream would logically mean that the cream would actually be lighter in weight per unit volume than would cream with less fat.

I know, G.W. you can be quiet now. There's this old Stix tune running through my head right now, "Too much time on my hands...."

I actually think the higher fat content cream is called heavy cream because of the impact on your weight if you use too much of it.

I make it a point to try and not think too much, I think I am rather successful at it most of the time!

Wait, did I just think?

Flashback, "Whoaa, thats heavy dude!"

GW....It sounds like a case of Pancake Withdrawal to me....suggest you move straight forth with all haste to the kitchen and whip up a quadruple stack....Also suggest you use Half & Half in the batter until such time your system can handle Heavy Cream!!

Ah, that was a love tap. And as for the signature, I can't take the credit. It was coined by a leader in my Church back in the 50's or 60's. I wish I had his wisdom.
