Cream

I have found a source of very rich cream.  I was aware this kind of cream was available from the overstock supply shared with my daughter, which she in turn shared with me.  That was in late 2019 when I was still a happy omnivore.  I made the most delicious caramel with crispy cereal and cashews.  I made a lot of it since I had a lot of cream.  The cream was so thick from sitting around for a while that it had a consistency more like pudding than liquid.  Earlier this year I began to toy with changing my way of eating.  At first my goal was merely to get rid of floaters in my eyes, but then I found information that I could possibly delay or even prevent the onset of dementia, Alzheimer's Disease or even heart disease if I returned to the ketogenic diet that helped me so much when I first came to Utah more than 19 years ago.  At that time I lost 60 pounds which I more or less kept off for the following ten years.  I messed around with other diets, including a low glycemic diet which in addition to adaption a low meat and dairy diet didn't have much effect.  The low meat and dairy diet along with relaxing my control of sugar and other carbohydrate intake may have hurried the onset of my colon cancer.  At any rate, I am now benefiting in at least one measurable way from ketogenic eating, which fortunately includes lovely, heavy cream, having lost about 35 pounds.  The cream has twice as much butterfat as other 'heavy' creams and comes in pot-like small bottles which require a deposit of 2 dollars.  I just keep returning the bottles for the deposit.
