Friends, this stuff is so good. I am a whole muddle of stuff, genetic/ethnicity-wise and some of the stuff I am can't handle lactose. When I was younger this wasn't a problem - I drank enough milk to keep my body hooked on it. The older I get though, and the less liquid/frozen dairy I eat (cheeses, even fresh cheeses like mozzarella, don't present problems) the more my genetic background is ready to take over and make me pay with a stomach bloated with gas whenever I eat ice cream or drink milk.
So today I was grocery shopping and saw these with their Lactose Friendly claim and threw them in and I AM TELLING YOU - ignore everything about the Bambinis besides the taste. Nothing else matters. They are the best ice cream treat I've ever had, the richest, smoothest tangy-like-creme-fraiche ice cream ever. Like you're eating a cheesecake ice cream sandwich, no ice cream, just solid cheesecake between two chocolate cookies. They are little, and maybe that is a selling point but I'd like a foot-long version for myself. A SOLID 12 INCHER. I don't understand how these taste as good as they do. I've really never had anything better. I wish I could send you guys some, every one of you. Instead, I am going to eat them and think of you, fondly, softly. Sweetly.
If you see them, buy them. I did, with my own money so this is something I stand behind with an empty wallet and I'm going to keep them under my pillow tonight. When I awake, my scalp and side of my face coated with melted goat's milk ice cream, the ants already beginning their pilgramage, it will be in a happier future. With no night farts.
BUY THEM/EAT THEM NOW.
Also, Tracy is FAMOUS GUYS. Such a good lady. Go check out her kitchen (like you haven't already) at The Kitchn!
today i am thinking i'm lactose intolerant or a fucking pig for eating too much god damn cheese. that shit is addictive and i guess it didn't help binging on whipped cream on my strawberry shortcakes tonight.

Dude, I think you will love them! And I love you, you know that - I was so tickled to see the feature when I checked out the Kitchn.
No! And it is really not an issue, until I hook it up with ice cream or a big glass of milk - I eat yogurt and cheese on the regular, have milk in my coffee and don't have any issues. It might just be the amounts, like I don't decimate a 5 lb block of Tillamook Extra Sharp but I do eat a lot of ice cream when I eat it, or drink a big glass of milk.
One of my friends has like bad dairy issues, but for me it isn't even really an 'issue', but moreso a mild change I've noticed recently. So many words, I apologize. I'm going to change the name of this blog to "DAIRY ISSUES THAT LEAD TO DELICIOUS DISCOVERIES!".
