    Yes... all the time we have cream with our coffee, scrambled eggs, casseroles, and whatever calls for milk or cream..
    I use the term heavy cream which is an 18% cream..
    There is also a 35% cream which is a whipping cream..
    We often use a coffee cream which is a !0% cream...

    Double cream could be an American expression to which I don't know which cream they are referring to...


    Coffee..... How do you have your coffee ???

    We have Double cream here in the uk..it's a very thick cream which you can whip up to make a huge amount of luscious very fattening stuff, I think it has about 48 % fat.....then there's single cream ( which is a pouring cream) then there's a whole load more...


    I've copied this description of all of our creams which are named slightly differently to Canadian, American, and Australian


    Single cream

    This is unsterilised cream containing a minimum of 18% fat. It's a general-purpose cooking cream and is also suitable for pouring over desserts and using in coffee.
    Sterilised cream

    Must contain a minimum of 23% fat. Use as for single cream.

    Double cream

    This cream can be either sterilised or fresh, but must contain at least 48% fat. It whips easily, and the thickness means it can be piped.

    Whipping cream/Whipped cream

    Again, it can be either fresh or sterilised, but must contain a minimum of 35% fat the only difference between the two is that whipping cream is ready for whipping, whipped cream has already been whipped. It doesn't whip up as thickly as double cream, so you may have trouble piping it.
    Clotted cream

    Clotted cream is clotted by slow heat treatment causing it to partially evaporate and thus become thicker. It's even thicker than double cream it has to contain at least a whopping 55% of milk fat, nearly as much as some home-made butters. (Commercially produced butter typically contains over 80%.) Very much a specialist cream, for use with traditional recipes like scones and stargazy pie.
    Half cream/Sterilised half cream

    Has to contain no less than 12% dairy fat.



    Other creams, dairy or otherwise
    UHT cream

    UHT can stand for .ultra-high temperature, or ultra-heat treatment. Either way, it involves raising cream way above the usual temperature for sterilisation, but for a much shorter period of time , so the change in taste and colour is much smaller than is involved with sterilised cream. Its a good standby if you can't get fresh.

    Sour cream

    This is cream with a similar fat content to single cream, which has been soured and thickened by the controlled action of lactic acid bacteria.

    Creme fraiche


    Not, as you might think, fresh cream at all! It's another sour cream, but with a higher fat content typically more like 28-30%.

    Artificial or imitation cream

    This is a substitute for cream, made using non-dairy fat or oil. Some of it, like Elmlea, can be quite good, with a similar taste and mouth-feel to cream. It also lasts a lot longer than fresh dairy cream, so like UHT cream it can be worth keeping a tub or two to hand just in case you're stuck for the real thing.

    The synthetic whipped cream used in some cheap commercially produced cakes, on the other hand, is disgusting. You can generally tell it by the colour; whereas real whipped cream generally has a yellowish tinge to it, the synthetic stuff is usually brilliant white, almost bluish tinged by comparison.

    We used to have a travel trailer (caravan) that I pulled with my pick-up truck, but I sold both and now we go to a hotel or motel and live it up without any work loading, cooking, cleaning, hauling, or anything else that means work....

    Do you find as you are getting older that you require less sleep...

    No...I still need the same amount of sleep as when I was younger, especially as I still work full time.. but I just don't get it..so I'm always tired.
