10th LTH Dessert Exchange - Monday April 12th @ 6:30pm

This time around it will be cooler, thus I promise it won't be hot and I won't serve soup!

Welcome to the 10th Exchange! There's no theme except tasty.
I'll post my dinner and dessert shortly. I'd like to cap this event at 8 people.

Basic exchange rules:
1) I will provide a light vegetarian dinner plus non-alcoholic beverages and some random booze.
2) Bring one dessert, no need to double or triple the recipe, there's always plenty!
3) Bring containers for taking your samples home, I suggest one for non-perishables and one for perishables/wet stuff like pudding
4) Come hungry!

I promise it won't be hot as hell this time and I won't serve soup!
Note: I have a very friendly kitty who will insist on a scratch behind the ears.

Hi,

This change in the usual date, I can make. I will be happy to attend and scratch a cat behind the ears.

Regards,

Master will be pleased.

It's not the first Monday, so I'd love to attend. Will reply with dessert type at a later date.

Ms. Ingie

Count me in, too!

I'm thinking that my contribution will be an array of cookies that may include Alfajores, Cardamom-Honey Cutouts, Lavender, and/or Pistachio/Lemon/Vanilla Shortbread. Updates will likely ensue...

Helloooo, Some of us here are fasting right now. The shortbread sounds fantastic. Actually all of it does. <sigh> sunset is at 6:56 pm. Will be at GNR Spacca Napoli. Last night & last Friday night I broke the fast at GNR Kuma's Corner.

Is this a self-imposed fast? I checked to learn Ramadan is much later this year.

Hello!
Please put me down. I'll be bringing lemon bars.

Count me in! After missing the last one and a several month hiatus before that, I'm in serious need of a sugar overload.

No. Cathy, I'm a Bahai. Our Fast is sunrise to sunset for 19 days without food or drink. Here's a link.

You didn't I was just hungry.

Tentative cookie list set. There's still room for two more people...

Funny, after last months success I was thinking of doing another cookie or bar, but looks like we are cookie and bar heavy this round. I'll have to come up with something else I think.

There's no such thing as too many cookies or bars. We could always make that the theme. Thoughts?

Hi,

I was at a meal recently where dessert was crepes spread with strawberry jam and whipped cream. This is a fine excuse to have more!

Regards,

Sounds good to me. Is this your official entry?

Pie Lady wrote:Sounds good to me. Is this your official entry?

It is unless I change my mind and do some flaming dessert crepe or make a cake with a caramel dome over it. I've been watching Julia Child French Chef programs later. I want to make everything she just did right after each program. I now have a laundry list of ambitions.

Regards,

I would like to attend. I will make either a cake or cookies.

Welcome aboard!

I posted my final menu. Ahem.

I also sent everybody my particulars, so if you don't have a pm from me please let me know and I'll email you.

I think I've settled on making angel food cake with a mango compote. Without even noticing the coincidence, I debated about making devils food cake instead I may try it this weekend, but let's go with angel food cake with a fruit sauce for now. See you all soon!

I've been racking my brain on this one. I've made Ina Garten's Lemon Cake for a couple of occasions of late, but I see that we also have Lemon Bars. I haven't noticed any chocolate, so I could also make individual molten lava cakes from Dorie Greenspan's dessert cookbook. The other thing could be a peach kuchen as promised for an earlier exchange, but I'd have to use canned peaches as they are out of season. Any thoughts?

Did I miss it somewhere? What time are we meeting?

Southern-style banana pudding (yep there's still a cookie component) . I haven't done it in years & recall it being a bit of work.

Yum! Now I'm looking forward to banana pudding!

I feel the pressure .

Oops, sorry, 6:30pm.

Mmmm, pudding.
