Excellent advice!

One of my best friends is horribly allergic to them. It makes cooking for
her a creative challenge some times, esp. as the other Best Bud is a
fishitarian and OBB's husband is an omnivore, but has discovered he is
horribly lactose intolerant.

I'm exploring Asian food options, big time. Taking a sushi making class.
But I have been known to keep portions out.

They will all be at Thanksgiving, but Onion Allergy will probably be told
to avoid the dressing (no problem as she loves mashed potatoes),
Fishitarian is getting a salmon steak, not turkey, and No Dairy will
probably take a lactaid or three and eat what he likes.
