My Sour Cream Obsession

I am in love with sour cream.  I know that sound super weird to some people who don't like it, but I think they don't like it because it's called "sour cream".  It's creamy and thick and delicious.  They should rename it "the best cream ever" but since it's already in a ton of recipes I don't think they could really do that.

So my love for sour cream came from a not so random place; cupcakes.  You might have notice (or probably not noticed) that both my basic vanilla cupcake recipe, and basic chocolate cupcake recipe contain sour cream.  I also made a cookie recipe at my friends house (if you are reading this, hi!) that had sour cream in it, and it gave the cookies a unique and delicious flavor.  So I started to have sour cream with other things, starting with the standard potato.  Then my family started to eat steak with twice baked potatoes a lot for dinner, and I got into making the perfect bite.  The perfect bite: steak on the fork, then a smear of potato on the upper side of the fork, a dip of sour cream and then a sprinkle of salt.  It is the most delicious thing ever.

I also love the sour cream website.  Okay translation; the Hood website is fantastic, they have tons of recipes that are actually pretty good, and it's... pretty.

Also sour cream goes great with chocolate, I haven't tried it, but I probably will at some point, mix melted chocolate and sour cream!

You may say that I just love it because it's a dairy product and dairy is the greatest thing ever, but there is something different about sour cream, something interesting about the pure white, thick, tangy cream that people don't love to eat, most likely because no one wants to eat something that has been labelled "sour."

I <3 sour cream!
