Fortunately for me, peanut butter is hardly ever in the bento, I just feel for the other kids and parents for whom peanut butter is what they can afford. <br />As to the other comment, the kids aren't quarantined, they just sit together at another lunch table, just like my daughter is assigned to a lunch table.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628252295534387315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125025106515882587.post-10747188830859927672010-04-15T08:38:23.350-04:002010-04-15T08:38:23.350-04:00My sister in law is deathly allergic to ginger!
...My sister in law is deathly allergic to ginger! <br /><br />The peanut thing really is unfortunate. Miss Thia won't eat anything I send from home and we can afford to pay the school to feed her, but we're a lot better off than many of the families that are sending kids to Somerville schools. This year we didn't get the peanut warning, but it's still nerve wracking. <br /><br />OTOH, you may be able to send Paige in with cashew, almond or sunflower butter or some other variant. I know cashew is much less allergenic and tastes like a creamier peanut butter and almonds aren't actually nuts so almond butter should be safe. I'll cross my fingers that Miss Paige will like them.Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125025106515882587.post-51174709346821085392010-04-15T08:31:27.101-04:002010-04-15T08:31:27.101-04:00I never thought that kids
