Post #1 - July 2nd, 2018, 12:13 pmWhat is better than a relaxing summer afternoon, with a light savory repast, followed by a sweet sampling of desserts? I can't think of too many things. So, I am hoping a few of you will have openings on your dance card for July 22nd. I will prepare a light supper, will have plenty of cold drinks and will keep my fingers crossed that the weather will be lovely and we can sit outside for some wonderful food and fellowship together. You bring a prepared dessert to share with the group, plus containers to take a few yummy leftovers home.
I live in Glen Ellyn, in the western suburbs, am in town and close to the Metra UP West Line train station. I can accommodate a Baker's Dozen. All are welcome at my table, whether you are a seasoned LTH or a more recent addition (like me) or if you are brand new and want to check us out. I look forward to seeing you all!
P.S. I will send directions via private message as we get closer.
1. KalamazooGal - mini panna cottas with mixed berries and buckwheat cookie panzanella
2. Pairs4Life. - inspired by summer fruits
3. Wild Rice - maybe Plum Cake

Post #23 - July 19th, 2018, 9:40 pmMy plus one is doing a cheesecake. There may also be fancy nuts.
I am leaning towards summer fruits. But who knows what will strike my fancy. See you Sunday.Ava-"If you get down and out, just get in the kitchen and bake a cake."- Jean Strickland
