It’s cocoa time, and that means whip cream and marshmallows too. But for awhile now, at least here in my country…well, things aren’t acting the same or tasting the same. It’s like over night some really terrible elves decided to change things up a bit. Well it looks like we got some of that weird non melting cream, whip cream that is.

It was a quick grab the night before Thanksgiving when we picked up some cream last minute. You just can’t have pumpkin pie without whipped cream. As it always happens we would end up with more whipped cream then pie, so that’s when the cream went into coffee and cocoa, no longer cold cream on a pumpkin pie piece, now it was scooped up and put on top of steaming hot coffee and cocoa. And that was when we found out that this was not cream. Then what is it?

Who even knows anymore, but it didn’t melt, it held it’s shape and the coffee steamed away. How strange we all thought. We had seen the short social media clips of strange food everywhere but never had any that we knew of ourselves.

Pippi my kitten came up to investigate, she loves milk and ice cream and when she went to investigate what we had made, she took one sniff and back offed. No lick, no curious lick to at least test it…nope, none of that. She walked away and then gave me that crazy stare of hers that reminds my husband of the meme cat, the chunky white cat with spots that always looks confused.

So we can now say we are part of the fake food club, the weird alien type food club, the what the heck is this club…yep…we got that and more. Something definitely is going on with the cream.

Happy blogmas everyone, the moral of this story is that we all have to learn how to make our own darn cream. Stay safe out there and God bless you all.
