Can I substitude cream sherry for dry sherry?
I ditto what June says. Also, if you simply can't find dry sherry use vermouth instead.
I ran out of cream of tartar. Can I use tartar sauce instead?
Depends on what you are making. Perhaps you could share your recipe...
Chocolate Cream Pie
Mix 1 1/3 cups sugar, flour and cocoa in saucepan. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick. Add small amount hot mixture to egg yolks, add back to mixture and cook on low heat until very thick. Stir in vanilla. Cool 5 minutes. Spread in baked pie shell. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla until foamy. Beat in sugar (1/3 cup) gradually until stiff and glossy. Spread on filling. Bake in 350 degree oven until golden brown.

- 1 2/3 cup evaporated milk

Tartar sauce will work as a substitute here. Just add a cup of the sauce to the egg whites and proceed with the recipe.
