Egg allergy

It occurred to me that since I introduce this blog as an allergenic menu, I should clarify my husband's allergy to egg. When he was a little boy, he couldn't have anything with any egg in it. In fact, smelling it cooking could trigger an allergic reaction. Since then, his allergy has lessened. He still cannot eat large amounts of egg, but he can have small amounts (i.e. <1/16 of an egg) when it is cooked in certain ways. He can eat meatloaf or cookies when they are made with a single egg, but he has to limit the quantity he can eat. Other food combinations seem to always trigger an allergic reaction.
So that is way I sometimes serve dishes with egg in it, despite my husband's allergy.
