60th Dessert Exchange, April 24, 4:00pm

Hi all! I'll be hosting the dessert exchange at our home in Logan Square on Sunday, April 24, at 4:00.

Bring enough to share with everyone (no need to double recipes, though!) and containers to take desserts home with you. We bring enough dessert to share with all the people who attend and take the rest home with us. New people and untested recipes are welcome!

I will make a light dinner. I can host up to 10 people including myself at my place. We do have a cat, in case of allergies, and my 2 1/2 year old will probably be joining us. I look forward to seeing everyone next month!

Glad you can make it! Would you still like to take some yarn for your friend? I can make sure I bring some home for you.

I'm in! What I make will likely be a last minute surprise to everyone, including me.

Laura - yes please, I would love to take some yarn.

I'm in as well. Also not sure yet as to what I'll bring, but it won't include chocolate or milk/cream based body, filling or frosting.

Sorry you won't make it, Elaine! I should have thought about Passover, but I don't really think past the seders anymore. Ingrid, glad you can be there! And, Sue, I'll definitely have some yarn for you.

i'm signing up my friend taisa for this event- she had such a good time at dobra's last month. we can't remember her LTH handle....

Hi - can any of youse guys use a box of Splenda packets? My mom likes to give me random groceries and I don't use Splenda. It's unopened.

I'll take them if nobody else wants them. Vicki may want them for Frank.

I don't know what I was thinking, actually in my head the exchange was today. I can't make it after all as I am performing in a staged reading. Probably better off anyway as I am having food allergy issues. Hope to see you soon.

Thanks to Laura for the fabulous exchange! I'm glad I could stuff your son full of chocolate. I knew I'd like him.

Everything was delicious as always!

Some folks asked for my recipes, and the Budino came from the Trib, back in 2009. I was too lazy to do the topping, so none for you! Muahaha!

The cookies are from Fine Cooking. I made 'em somewhat round, because I'm a rebel like that.

Thanks to everyone for coming on Sunday! I had a great time and everything was delicious. I'll post the recipe for the carrot salad when I'm home tonight.

Apologies for my word choice in my earlier post. It's been edited.

Thanks Laura, thanks everyone.
