Whipping Cream

Doral gives Micheal full control of the hand beaters

I thought breakfast was over and perhaps it was and we were onto the second round of breakfast.

Yesterday’s waffles could be toasted and I thought having them with jam was good enough.

But Doral asked the children if they wouldn’t like to have their waffles with blueberries and whipped cream, or peaches and whipped cream.

Alice gets the next turn whipping cream ...... 

He got out the cream and proceeded to show Michael that whipping cream is really a man’s job.

... Betty is old enough to hold the machine ...

Michael wanted to take a try and when his arm began to ache he passed the job over to Alice. 

That would be, he passed it over after he had investigated all of the speeds that the hand mixer can produce.

By the time the machine had gone through Alice’s hand and was being used by Betty, Doral was starting to warn the children that butter might be the next stage and that everyone should hold back a bit and test to see if it was time for sugar and vanilla.

Doral taught all the skills of whipping cream, the last one being a beat to lick – only two beaters and three children, so someone had to hold off on their turn until tomorrow.

Gavin Beaulieu and Ceilidh Johnson are going home tomorrow.

Doral is getting up to make the waffles and whipping cream for them, the start of their journey homeward.

Bon appetit tomorrow and bon adventure to them.

... that first bite is always the best one.

The rest of us will stay longer and suffer waffles with fruit, though I did hear Rebecca say today, “Curses. Half of the summer is gone!”
