On the edge of the coffee

Yes, I know that's a strange phrase. DH has his "I'll just humour her" look on too. The thing is, I decided to put some really lovely creamy cream (none of your bloody white stuff) in my post-archery coffee when we got back half and hour or so ago. After I'd drunk it (topped up a few times), I says to 'im I says: Coffee tastes different with cream.
DH: "Creamier."
Me: Well yes, but it's not that; it's something on the edge, but I don't know if it's the edge of the coffee or the edge of the cream.
DH: Silence but dons humour her look.
Me: Sniff (huffily). Some people just don't understand.

So... um... does anyone?

He's on the G&T (Fentimans tonic, which he says is like gin only without the alcohol – and he gives me the patient look!) wink

Just thought I'd ask.

these make an excellent cup of coffee with no faffing around. Just add a splash of skimmed and tip of a teasp of dem.

Don't know how they cracked it but they have.

It doesn't' interfere with the taste of the coffee too much.

It just softens it a little.

Where does all the cream go that's taken off skimmed milk? In the days before homogenised milk, you had the best of both worlds – cream off the top (if the bluetits hadn't got it first) and then skinny milk underneath. Or you could just mix it up and have proper milk all the time.

I suppose they just take it for cream. It so wrong to homogenise milk. No "top of the milk" anymore. Why do they do it?

So that you can have skimmed milk, perhaps, jingl? wink

No! Homogenized is when the cream has been pre distributed through the milk.

Innit?!

I use semi-skimmed milk on cereals...
