Fran, I loved your post title!  It reeled me right in.  I'm wondering who will get to eat all that yummy, but mislabeled, carrot cake?

Well Maggie.... not me..... I wouldn't have to eat it I could just by-pass my mouth and slap it on my thighs!

hahahaha..... the graphic says "CARROT"

Thanks. I have a neighbor with both Peanut and Tree nut allergies. Not sure if he eats Hostess or not.

I passed this on

Send the extra carrot cake to me. Here. In Minnesota. I'll take care of every last bit of it!

Funny Fran...Funny! Thanks for the info. I am still using your "scratch and dent" in my presentation. Its great!

Paula:  Glad I could help!

Ray:  I've heard this allergy is really serious, glad you passed it on!

Lisa:   How about some banana nut bread next holiday season?

Ken:  Good for you!  Hope it comes in handy!

Thanks to you all for stopping by!

Fran, a funny title but a serious subject.  I have had allergic reactions to foods that had even small amounts of certain nuts in them that I didn't know about.  In some people the reaction can even be fatal.  Thanks for the heds-up.

Brian:  You are right it can be fatal...... Hey, no problem on the heads up, thanks for stopping by :)
