Church supper, raspberry picking & dessert exchange, Sept 6

The Kingston United Methodist Church monthly supper will be September 6. Seating times are 5 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. We will aim for 5:00 p.m. Razbry suggests picking your berries before supper. She recommends leaving for church by 4:30, because dinner is served promptly at 5:00 pm. If you are driving directly to the supper, arrive no later than 4:45 pm.

Held on the first Saturday of the month at the church, 121 W. First St., the suppers include dessert of pie. Donations are $9 for adults and $4 for children.

This month, the meat will be Swiss Steak, the most popular dinner, here is a picture from an earlier visit:

After supper, we will congregate at razbry's U-Pick Raspberry farm to enjoy the setting, perhaps pick some more raspberries and exchange desserts. Since people may be filled from their dinner and pie, please have desserts divided and packaged for the trip home.

Count me in.

It is a Saturday.

I think I am just eating sides at the dinner however.

Count me in! I can't wait. I assume I'll be making some form of pound or bundt cake since it travels well. More deets when I find out what the weather is.

I am in.

Pie Lady is right about travel, I am going with brownies, maybe hand pies.

I'm saying Yes, and it will probably be cookies of some sort

Sorry - I am working the St Pauls rummage sale all day and won't be able to make it.
Hopefully, I will be back on board next month.

Yay! A Saturday! I will be there

ETA: Ava, let me know if you'd like a ride (or any other city people who might need one)

Yes please!

Crap, same day as the 2nd Annual Carolina Pig Pickin' at my own church. I won first and second place for "Best Southern Side" last year. Actually, just claimed my prized this afternoon - lunch at Pricilla's Ultimate Soul Food.

Not sure if mrsm will attend. Perhaps she'd like to take my mom.

That's a fine prize.

I will be making coconut pound cake unless it's too hot, then I'll make key lime pie balls: no bake. Sweet.

I'm getting excited for this event! I'll be making NIU’s Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake.

I'm looking kind of iffy- probably a no since my schedule got changed and out to Denver again this week.
I'll need some home time once I get back

Are people going early to pick raspberries first? If so, what time is everyone planning to get there?

Unfortunately I won't be able to come this Saturday...something has come up f

Hope to see you at the picnic.

HI,

Any picking I do will be afterwards. I am helping at a local rummage sale aka as helping a friend who is officially helping at the rummage sale.

Hi,

I will be coming solo, because Mom got a better date. I will be driving over with Pie Lady.

Regards,

I will be missing the dinner, but will come by for the dessert exchange and post-dinner raspberry picking and socializing. I will also be bringing my mom with, since we live (relatively) close by.

I will be making a lemon/raspberry torte

That feeling you get when you realize you have pretty much none of the ingredients to hand for your offering.

You can just come and pick the raspberries, then voila! Dessert!

Hi,

A friend from Culinary Historians just called having seen this notice. She is coming with her boyfriend, though probably without dessert. I told her the fellowship rather than dessert was important, especially since pie comes with our meal.

As things change, it appears my Mom is coming.

If anythings changes any more, I will update.

Regards,

I'm making honey and lavender cakes from the Ottolenghi cookbook. The batter tasted a little bland, so we'll see how they bake up. If I'm feeling ambitious, I'm dying to make the meringues from the same cookbook, but we'll see how the morning goes.

Hi,

I made a dozen Whoopie Pies this evening. I was thisclose to coming without a dessert, then I had an inspiration.

Regards,

YAY!

I made Marrian Burros famous plum torte except instead of plums there are figs! http://www.nytimes.com/1989/09/13/garde ... torte.html.

That said, the local boy told me about it this week here.

And I read all of the comments about it here.

I'm lazy and it's getting late so I'm not labeling my bags, but the key lime balls contain coconut, for those who are allergic.

Thanks again to razbry for hosting! I had lovely time. I'll put those peppers to good use.

Photos?

I'm not sure we took any! Did we?

Hi,

I didn;t take pictures.
