    I am excited to host the February dessert exchange in Mount Prospect. Anyone who wants to bake a dessert and come are welcome - we are happy to see first time attendees. As usual, I will serve a light dinner and then we will sample and talk about all the desserts. Bring one dessert to share and containers to take home some of everything. I have room for 10 plus myself and Joel. Let me know if you would like to attend.

    We still have room for 1 more if anyone else wants to join us. For those who have already signed up, I just sent out my address. If you did not get it, please let me know.
    We are making empanadas and a salad for our meal. Still figuring out my dessert.

    I lost my post.

    Considering the brown sugar tart from Milk Street Kitchen.

    This could change.

    EDITED: It is coming. Slumped and all.

    Dear Sue,

    I will not be able to come to the dessert exchange. I have a cold. Adding insult to injury, aside from aiding market price to Kleenex, I have lost my sense of taste. Woe is me. Enjoy the wonderful treats.

    Sue & Joel,

    Thanks for the amazing meal. I really ate too much to really appreciate the desserts, as usual.

    And as always the fellowship was lovely!

    Thank you Sue and Joel for a wonderful dinner in your welcoming home. ( I love your big kitchen!). As usual, the delectable Food (dinner AND desserts) was matched by the lively conversation! I loved hearing about Jenny's meeting Zephyr Wright and Ladyburd Johnson.

    Who brought the Battenberg?
    Cathy?

    I did not see pics taken but everything was all laid out before we started eating, so I have no idea who did it.

    Hi,

    Sue F said she took pictures of the desserts before we portioned them. I'm sure she will get to it when she has time.

    Thanks to Sue and Joel for generously hosting us. Your meal was a welcome bit of summer on a warm winter day.

    Regards,

    Ronnie,
    I have been in touch with Cookie Monster (Dobra) who originally was planning to host on 3/26. She is no longer able to do so. I will be hosting the next Dessert Exchange and it will bring Sunday, April 1st.
    Thanks for reaching out.
