Re: [Paddlewise] sour cream to go?

You can make a surprisingly good faux sour cream if you experiment a bit 
using a heap of  milk powder, a small pinch of salt and a squeeze of 
lemon juice. Not as good as the real thing but passable on nachos etc. A 
rumbling stomach fires the imagination and makes things taste better I 
find. At home  I sour plain low-fat yoghurt with a shot of lemon juice 
as a substitute for sour cream.  r
