lumpy whimped cream

soo we were having strawberry shortcakes for desert and I had the honor of making the whipped cream. when pouring the cream into the mixer, it came out lumpy! first impressions, "hmm. i wonder how cheese will blend." second thoughts, "should i smell it?" and finally, "what is heavy whipping cream supposed to smell like?"

Ended up making the cream anyway and it tasted fine. Given the stuff was brand new, i assumed it had just settled incorrectly in our fridge.

and speaking of lumpy whipped cream, that's how i would describe the amazingly awesome caps defense over the last three games. Just PUDDING it out there. (see what i did there?)
