Ice Cream

"Magical and mysterious, Ice Cream!" I don't know why it didn't occur to me to make ice cream with all of that milk I've been getting. I had come to a point where I just wasn't picking up all of my milk anymore because I just felt terrible wasting it. I'm pretty sure I'm lactose intolerant, just the kind where I have just a limited amount of dairy. Yogurt is fine and so is most cheese. But if it has heavy cream I'll get stomach cramps for hours. And yet, other than getting a bit more congested--I notice this a lot because I love singing--most ice cream doesn't really bother me. I do have one memory of getting sick after a 2nd-grade ice cream party, but I always thought that was due to the stale gummy bears with which I showered my sundae.

So I found a recipie online for ice cream made with 1% milk and I'm listing to it churn as I write.



8 cups milk

2 cups sugar

2 Tbsp vanilla

*I added a pinch of salt because I know I usually like a little touch of savory. I'll let you know how it goes!

I also have to tell you about my new tuna wonder- tuna guacamole wraps- and my staple "mountain man" potatoes with rosemary I had for dinner tonight. But that's for another post! Thanks!
