Put ons and cream

March 25, 2008 by Barbara.

We had hamburgers for supper one night last week and Reid said that she wanted to get the “put ons” out and I said, “Sure, you get the condiments out and put them on the table.” Reid gave me that look she has that says, “Muh-therr” and said, “No, they’re put ons”. It’s better than Reid offering put downs, I guess.

At my house, because I’m cheap and don’t always plan meals as well as I should, we tend to use plain, low fat yogurt interchangeably with fat-free sour cream. The taste is subtly different but it’s not too noticeable. Reid calls both “cream”. It’s an awful insult to cream, even to full fat sour cream but it’s a good nutritional habit and that’s good enough for me.
