See? You were about to abandon your recipe, but now you have at least six ways to save it. Half-and-half is just a ratio of fat and liquid, and you are the master of ratios. You have the power of science and leftovers on your side.
So go ahead. Cook your creamy pasta. Pour your coffee. Make your fettuccine Alfredo. The universe (and your fridge) is full of generous substitutes. And if all else fails, just drink your coffee black and tell everyone you’re a purist.
