Count me in for exchange and dinner!

There's still room for two more...

my Jewel doesn't carry the gladware i need for the exchange. where is it available? (and i think i'll make some kind of savory tart- don't know yet. is the person with mushroom allergies coming? if so, i won't use mushrooms; if not, i'd like to know that i can if i want.) i won't be bringing anything to drink; i'll probably stick to tap water. thanks

Try Strack and Van Til, I believe some have mentioned finding them there. I'm not opposed to mushroom.

It's leek who has an issue with mushrooms, and she's not signed up (at least not yet) for this month. In the past, she's said if something was labeled as containing mushrooms, she'd just give it to her hubby. The issue isn't including mushrooms, it's just that anything with mushrooms should be labeled as such. But probably no worries for April.

i understand, but with so many other options i would not choose to make something with mushrooms if the person allergic to them is coming. i'm leaning towards mushroom/asparagus bread pudding....

Hi,

The whole mushroom issue revolves around Leek, who did not sign up. However, when she does participate and there are mushrooms, her husband benefits. It has always worked out pretty well.

Regards,

I think I also saw the containers at Target.

thanks to prairie clover and food nut for the suggestions on where to find the containers. joan

Small household exchange friends,
Perhaps it is all the cooking I do to please a toddler that is leaving me without a single idea for Tues. Fear not, I will bring something, but have not a clue what....

I probably won't bring wine, but what would be a good pairing?

I was debating this also. Does anybody have any wine suggestions for this type of meal?

Hi - no, I'm not attending (too much else going on in life to do these for a while )

but as others have said, don't worry about making or not making anything with or without mushrooms. Just make what you want. If I am there and a dish with mushrooms is offered, my hubby eats that one and I do not.

It is all good, even mushrooms,

Lee

Hi,

I won't be making pulled pork, I just don't have the time available to pull this off before Tuesday.

Sorry to do the somewhat last minute switch on promised contribution.

That's okay, you always make something tasty.

Florentine meatballs with red sauce.

I forgot to add the address and phone number to the first post! It's there now. I just made reservations for 10 at 7 on Tuesday. See you there!

By the way, the reservation is under the name LTH.

I'll let you know what I'm bringing on Saturday or Sunday. It's been really busy around here!

Hi - just confirming that we are making six servings.

do you guys mind if i bring a dessert just this once? you'd be doing me a favor as i have a lot of (very delicious) blueberry buckle left over from a culinary historians event today. cathy suggested i use it tuesday night; i probably wouldn't have had the nerve to offer a leftover otherwise. but it was wrapped up except for a very short time while it was being served and i've put it in the freezer and it'll be fine for tuesday. thanks, joan

I will bring Thai Red Curry & Rice. See you Tuesday!

True 'dat.

I have no problem with leftovers.

thanks pie lady. i know this means fewer entrees, but in the future i'll skip dessert and bring dinner. joan

I thought you meant in addition to dinner. I still don't mind dessert, but is everybody else okay with this? Sorry for the confusion!

I'll love to have anything Joan makes.

thanks for the kind words nr706.

I've only been coming the last few months, so I'm not really a "regular" yet, but in the description at the top says:

"One dessert is OK each month, we just didn’t want 6-7 dessert offerings as everyone was mostly interested in main meals (and there is a fabulous LTH dessert exchange the first Monday of each month)."

So if someone brings a dessert, that seems to be "within the guidelines"

Hi,

There have been others who gave a dessert as their contribution. It is a perfectly acceptable offering, though we have tried to limit to one dessert item per exchange.

I still have to sort out what I am doing!

Regards,

Oh good, I was hoping there would be a pro-dessert consensus. Sorry for the mess, Joan. I never had blueberry buckle before.

Hi,

I will bring chili, which is percolating on the stove now.

Regards,
