browngirlI totally forgot to post about the buttermilk!
Wolf made butter out of cream (we have a dairy cookbook, and we're all foodies by avocation) and Tigerlily brought me a glass of the resultant buttermilk to consult on why it wasn't acidic. I discussed how it wasn't fermented (it's bacterial fermentation, not butter removal, that makes buttermilk acidic) and tasted it, and it was GOOD. It had the flavor of cream, but was very light, with a body like 2% milk. I drained the glass.
Now I know why people used to drink buttermilk.
Maybe I'll just append today's good thing to this, once I pick it.
