I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Deb, when I "catered" a big New Year's thing once, i listed all ingredients. Then the burden is on those with the sensitivities to choose what to put their lips around.

Deb, that sounds like an excellent idea. I know I don't have any allergies, but there are quite a few common and not-so-common ones that people would probably like to know about. Maybe something could be added to the poll as to food allergies, so you'd know what to stay away from or what needed huge arrows and danger signs on them?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I would love an ingredients list, deb, but only if it's really and truly not a big pile of additional work. You're already doing so much!

(eta: I voted twice to signify that DH is coming with me. We're going for headcount, right?)

Awesome, Jess. Thanks!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Deb, if you send me the list o'ingredients, I can format & print. Advantage of having in-house high-quality equipment....

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Yay, Jess! Scurrying off to look...

An ingredients list is no problem for me at all; I'm a retired caterer. And pointing people to the lists is way easier than having to stand and repeat fifty times what's in what....

YES, please. Headcount is what I need; the poll is to get me a number I can hand over to Eva and the chef at the HICC. So if you, your SO and your nanny are all coming to prom, vote three times. I need headcount.

I *think* MrPoll will let you vote 3 times before it recognizes your IP address and tells you to stop spamming the poll, so people with SOs attending should be able to vote twice.

[eta: Oh, and Deb, I can log in as the poll admin and see actual #s for the Yes and No votes, if you don't feel like doing the match from the %s given on the Results page.]

I'm assuming everyone that's planning to attend prom will check here and see that they'll need to vote more than once if they are bringing an SO or friend or minion or whatever... but just in case, should the post in Press be amended to tell people that?

Also bummed I won't get to meet you, Erin.
