cream-Re: lesser of 2 evils?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I just use the heavy whipping cream for coffee, or I use it to whip cream if

the farm is out of raw cream. If you like it, heck, drink it straight, but

it might be more appetizing as whipped cream with a small amount of stevia or

raw honey to sweeten and a little vanilla.

I personally use yogurt when I can't get milk, since it is at least

non-homogenized. The biodynamic stuff like Seven Stars Farms or Hawthorne

Valley is the best, the former the best of the two in my opinion.

thanks jordan and chris for your response on this one

my health food store ran out of raw milk and i was looking for an

alternative-

do you actually drink this straight or use it in coffee, cooking etc?
