We watch a lot of movies as a family, it's just one of our things and I've blogged about it before. Say what you want, but with a 17yr old and a very active 10yr old, both boys, getting everyone to sit in a room together to do anything as a family, is a rare treat.
So, I've seen a lot of movies, I've seen a lot of movie trailers. Mostly, you can recognize the tricks and know if the best parts of the movie make up the trailer and that's it. Some trailers grab your attention, but mostly - you just watch them and forget them and end up renting the movie later because you seem to recall the name of it. This trailer is different - this one caught my attention in a big way, so I had to Google it and find it so I could share. I plan to see this movie - probably in the theater, which doesn't happen often because of the ridiculous price...

I've heard the book is fantastic too. Let me know if you've read it.
So, what's up with the title of this post? Why so many oooo's in the word Movie? Because I'm trying to be cute and combine two topics - movies, and cows. Specifically dairy. I won't go into a whole lot of detail (because fankly, some of it is pretty personal and a touch gross) but I've developed quite a severe intolerance to lactose (i.e. dairy products). It's been going on for a while I think, and I've been tapering off dairy products for a while - but it's gotten really severe now. Even small small doses cause a pretty good reaction. I've never read so many labels or spent so much time in the "natural" section of the grocery store. Soy milk, soy cheese (I think I even bought something called "Tofutti"!), non-dairy butter (sorry, "whipped buttery spread"), non dairy chocolate chips (more on that in a minute), the list goes on and on.
Basically, I've had to learn a whole new way to eat. It's not easy, and can be somewhat depressing. You have to watch everything you eat. Ordering in restaurants is a whole new experience too.
In an effort to find non-dairy recipes, we stumbled on this, The Kind Diet. It's technically vegan - which in the truest sense means no animal products at all. I'm good with that, as long as I can eat meat. ha! Someone called me a Beefatarian, but I prefer the word I coined: Carniveganite.
In all seriousness - there are some good recipes in there.....hence the non-dairy chocolate chips. There are some amazing non-dairy chocolate peanut butter cups in there that my lovely wife made for me. Un-real how good they are.
Which reminds me - I need to give a shout out to my wife...again. She's been a trooper through this. When I get mad, ticked, depressed, don't feel like eating, she keeps me in line. She watches labels for me. She cooks special for me. She reminds me to "step away from the Cheezit box". She's awesome. It's no wonder I love her.
So the "dairy free" journey begins for a self-proclaimed cheese addict. This should be interesting...stay tuned.
