In fa...Judy, I do think cream improves the mixture. In fact, I almost never have whole milk in the house, just skim. So I use some skim milk and some cream in combination to enrich the quiche or béchamel or whatever I'm making. Sometimes I have liquid cream but mostly I use thick crème fraîche.<br /><br />Tomorrow we'll be testing out the new fryer for the first time. Wish us luck.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-52226280344287525052012-06-24T17:03:24.440+02:002012-06-24T17:03:24.440+02:00"If you have a new fryer...." *heh heh* ..."If you have a new fryer...." *heh heh* Good one, Ken :)<br /><br />Your quiche looks mighty full of yummy things. I would say, in my quiche eating experience, the ones made with as much cream as possible (instead of just milk) have that certain delicious creaminess that makes the quiche just that much better. What do you think? Do you notice a difference based on how much cream vs just milk there is in a quiche?Seine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-11442147023293765952012-06-24T16:56:59.717+02:002012-06-24T16:56:59.717+02:00Ken

Two years , in a row, rabbits have been eating them as soon as the young leaves start coming out . This year I had put little colourful flags next to each of them to deter those rabbits but to no avail .The Beavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-90323179677105146842012-06-24T15:39:52.863+02:002012-06-24T15:39:52.863+02:00That is Tim as t'Cat not t'WifeThat is Tim as t'Cat not t'WifeRon Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707306212013998196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-52953352275944550102012-06-24T15:39:14.738+02:002012-06-24T15:39:14.738+02:00The French answer to "Fish 'n' chips&...The French answer to "Fish 'n' chips"... what a good idea.
