I miss eating other people's food without having to ask, "what's in this?"
I miss ice cream.
I miss cheese on my pizza.
I miss chocolate.
I miss eating bread without reading the labels to find out which one is dairy-free.
I miss ice cream.
I miss butter.
I miss eating fancy food at weddings. (I had to trade my garlic/bacon mashed potatoes for my kids' french fries)
I miss ice cream.
I miss cheesecake.
I miss eating all the egg casseroles that are brought to MOPS.
I miss frosting. Wedding cake just isn't the same without it.
I miss using cream of mushroom soup- the soy substitute just isn't the same.
I miss ice cream.
I miss cream in my coffee.
I miss ice cream.
Eleanor started handling dairy better around nine months. Roselyn is currently seven months. I'm counting down. My hope is that I can eat whatever I want by Thanksgiving. Just in time to pack on a bunch of weight with the cheesy party potatoes, the french silk pie, the pink fluff, the artichoke spinach dip, before heading into Christmas season and eating all the fudge I want. I figure I deserve it after giving up ice cream for the summer.

I'm in the same boat with Emily. She had terrible rashes and cracked, bleeding skin until we took her to a pediatric allergist who told us she's allergic to eggs, dairy, and peanuts. So she and I have been on a vegan+meat diet since April.
I miss ice cream. I miss cheese. I miss being able to just order something at or eat whatever family members have made for dinner. But then I look at Emi and remember that I love her way more than I miss ice cream and I find the strength to go one more day
I well recall those days--But check out Ivanna Cone in the Haymarket. They have different flavors every day, but always have 3 that are dairy-free (and also soy, nut, etc)! Last time I had mango-peach sorbet and it was fantastic. And, it's cheaper than most other ice cream stores (kid cone/dish $1).
