Medjool dates & almond butter & whipping cream yogurt(cream freche)

[Guest guest]

Thank you all for the wonderful input of recipes and support. On the

recently posted recipe for Sue's Fourteen Date Cake, are the Medjool

dates fresh, or are dried acceptable from the grocery store? I'm just

wondering where to get them.

Also, almond butter is mentioned in another recipe. Is this

referencing a home-made variety, or again, is this something we can

purchase in a health food store.

One last question, on Sue's Yogurt Bavarian, when making yogurt with

whipping cream, is this still an acceptable thing for lactose-

intolerance, as yogurt made with milk is?

Many thanks to all.
