[fast5] Re: about to start fast5

Update- I tried adding a tablespoon of rice vinegar to about a half cup of sour cream. It's true, it didn't curdle... but it did do something that I didn't expect. After about two minutes it all turned to liquid. I'm pretty sure it wasn't just a matter of adding more liquid to the sour cream that diluted it. At first, the texture was still thick. But after a couple minutes sitting in the bowl (while I opened the tuna and shelled the eggs) it's consistency became a bit like heavy cream. The taste was much better but the consistency was too runny.

I may just chop up a dill pickle and add it in to see if it changes the flavor without changing the texture. I am after all going for more tang.

If THAT doesn't work, I might try finding some kefir- sounds like fun anyway...
