Checking food when you have food allergies
Who doesn't love chocolate cake? Well, I do have one friend who can't stand to be around it.....bad memories from morning sickness. But, for the rest of us, chocolate cake is a slice of heaven. We were at a family party last night, and I put two different slices of cake on my plate for Hubby and I. One had nuts sprinkled on the top, the other had coconut. I told Son #2 that they had chocolate cake for dessert, but one had nuts on the top. I told him they were in separate pans, so he could get a slice of the coconut covered cake instead. And my brilliant son said, "No thanks mom. I'm not sure if they used the same utensils to serve both cakes, so I better pass" This is the son that is allergic to nuts. Have I trained him well, or what?! We're always on the look out for nuts and seafood. Son #2 has to watch for nuts, and I usually inspect the desserts first, but I have to admit I was a little lax last night. I'm glad he decided to pass on the cake....
