What can you use as a substitute for cream in recipes, that will provide the same body and cohesion?

I understand that cream has sufficient fat to thicken foods, but I also know that you can substitute milk plus a starch to obtain similar results. What types of starch, what percentage of fat in the milk, and what proportions are correct?

Do you know how to preserve a bonsai in chemical for indoors?

I have been doing this for a few years. I started using NeverSayDye chemical for the preservation, then started making my own with glycerin and water and food dye. Does anyone have any great recipes for this hobby? FYI, I have started a preservedbonsai group at Yahoo if you want to stay in touch.

Brown sugar substitute for someone allergic to molasses?

I cannot eat molasses due to what I suppose is a rare food intolerance…Even a single cookie or bowl of cereal can leave me nauseous and dizzy. This means I can’t use brown sugar and raw sugar in recipes. Often, white sugar can be substituted without too much of an impact on the taste, but certain things (e.g., candied yams) just don’t work.

Is there any blend of sugar/spices that might work as an acceptable substitute for taste while preserving the chemistry?
