I guess you were trying to explain, and no you didn't sound critical exactly. I was trying to explain because it sounded like you didn't know where I was coming from, like why the heck I was on about the cream and things.

Anyway sorry I was not helpful. And btw I had forgotten that your half-and-half was a compromise from the french vanilla. I guess milk would be a compromised compromise, lol. (Half and half for me is a treat! LOL! Heck, even whole milk is a treat!)

On a slightly different note............

Since you like flavorings, have you ever tried cinnamon in coffee (sprinkled on top and stirred a little)? (I have tried a few different spices... I like tinkering with my coffee. )
