Imagine if you will a plate of cheddar cheese and bacon perogies, a taco, nachos, or a quesadilla. Did you automatically picture the sour white delight alongside?
If you're like me, I suppose you're salivating right now. Sour cream is incredible!
Now imagine, if you will, a year without sour cream...sound nightmarish? I've lived it before when in spain/switzerland and now once again, it seems it is to be the condition of living in a foreign country. Knowing my past experiences with missing sour cream I had even prepared myself for that before leaving Canada. At one point my friend Jodi and I spoke about creating a going away party which was sour cream themed.
Yet, I did not expect my longing to come so quickly or intensly.
The lack of Iona sour cream became aparant to me on Monday after having made Russian beet borscht and then again last night upon trying to eat enchilladas. My longing for that cold, gelatinous, creamy sour dairy product was very intense. As in the past, cream cheese came into both meals as a very temporary substitute. But I will not rest with that...my sister has provided for me a homemade sour cream recipe and its making will be my next highly prioritized goal.
