That has always been a safe bet at these holiday parties.  You know things are scary when the taters are tainted with nuts.

 I check every single spec of food that might go near my daughter.  We bring all sort of safe back ups for her.   We carry 2 epi pens.  We have a plan and it does work, but there is always a stress I carry with me at other peoples homes (especially during the holidays) . Especially when they bring those darn deadly dangerous “only nice of them” baked goods to my home.  Happy New Year…..stay away from the neighbors!
