Peanut Allergy Questions

I am just curious about this.

Alan has no problem with peanuts and eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at home.

If I make something for his preschool class for a treat, does it matter that my utensils may have been washed in the dishwasher with a knife that had peanut butter and jelly on it? Should I take any other precautions when cooking? (I'm considering making spinach lasagna for international day for his class and we've been asked not to use peanuts - I'll read the boxes on my ingredients carefully.)

Also, are there any good online sites or articles on peanut allergies anyone can recommend? I'm considering sending something in to his preschool to share with other parents.

Customer service updates

Rodeway Inns - I should be getting a response from the motel and a 25.00 credit. Apparently the particular site violated brand standards (yes, having a cheap breakfast and no paper as advertised on the website annoyed someone at corporate)!

Gold Bug (Eddie Bauer Car Seat Travel Bag) - Wrote them to ask if I could replace the lost strap to the bag. Well, they are sending me a whole new bag. So I guess I'll rehome the one missing a strap!

Target - I'm annoyed at their online credit card stuff. Somehow my card has been marked as either bankrupt/past due, so I can't pay online. Hopefully they'll resolve it - I did e-mail some people at Target about it.

Meanwhile DH is waiting to hear about a problem with DVD's we ordered. He ordered 25, they claimed he ordered 15 and don't seem to care unless we return the DVD's at our expense. So we've disputed the charge with the credit card.

And weirdly enough, we get a letter that their is an audit going on with our town. So we had to send the dates and amounts of our town tax payments to the CPA firm that mailed us. (No, we didn't complain to start this one!)
