It would make life easier if Sylvia is not allergic to peanuts but it is not too difficult with her allergy not being severe.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-25464113885379673932014-07-09T17:47:37.071+10:002014-07-09T17:47:37.071+10:00Thanks Joanne - we still have quite a bit of cake ...Thanks Joanne - we still have quite a bit of cake in the freezer - it is really lovely and ready when you get through that computer :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-81022042022855584152014-07-08T19:02:57.807+10:002014-07-08T19:02:57.807+10:00G'day Your cat skank make me laugh today and w...G'day Your cat skank make me laugh today and wish I could come through the computer and try a slice of your apple cake!<br />Thanks for this month's kitchen view too!<br />Cheers!

Would you recommend some awesome vegan eats in Melbourne? Shoot me an email if you have time :) I love beer-based anything, did it taste hoppy, wheat, or sweet? What an unique snack, “Cheeseybites” and it had Vegemite in it?! It’s not something I would eat, but I’d be interested to try it if they have a vegan version. Speaking of school being nut-free, yes, we have that in our schools in the U.S. and my sis in law was complaining about it since there are other allergens to worry about. Peanut butter is my favorite, I love it in anything and let me know how Sylvia’s peanut allergy results, I hope she is not allergic to this wonderful ingredient! These birthday cards are just cute, Sylvia is one extraordinary artist… I would love a postcard from you and Sylvia one day! ;)rika@vmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901767751926870086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-47953321529177236432014-07-06T20:47:07.118+10:002014-07-06T20:47:07.118+10:00Thanks Milk and Honey - mmmm pretzels and peanut b...Thanks Milk and Honey - mmmm pretzels and peanut butter - sounds like a good reason to go to the gym.

This was more frustrating as it seemed worrying not to know if there were allergies. I think sylvia is happy to wait as she is not keen on eating peanut butter (which is fair enough when you have been told not to eat it)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-92103003727647981952014-07-06T20:18:21.668+10:002014-07-06T20:18:21.668+10:00Thanks Tandy - it is a long wait but I checked wit...Thanks Tandy - it is a long wait but I checked with my dr who did the referral and they said it is to be expected - I think Sylvia would be down the list because her allergy is not severe.
