6th LTH Dessert Exchange - [Past Event]

6th LTH Dessert Exchange

It's the 6th LTH dessert exchange and I'm hosting for the month of August.

Jyoti's home (Arlington Heights - parking is available)
Monday, August 10
6:30 p.m. - 9:30pm
Bring a dessert to share.

Here is the basic format for the dessert exchange:
1) I’ll serve a light dinner (TBD... making sure that we have plenty of room for sweets!)

2) Bring one recipe size of any dessert – no doubling or tripling of recipes needed! There will be plenty to sample and take home.

3) Bring a container or two to transport your dessert assortment home.

4) Come hungry!

I'd like to keep the guest list to 10. If you're interested in satisfying your sweet tooth, please RSVP and let me know what you are bringing. I will start a list.

Yes!

I would like to attend! (There will be a small chance that I may miss it depending on my kids going to their respective colleges)

Hooray - close to home! I'll be there. Thanks!

Looks like I'm going to miss this one. I'm going to be in Des Moines on a business trip that day. Guess I'll just have to look forward to the next one.

I was excited to see that this dessert exchange is in the northwest suburbs. I would be interested in attending, but might be late. Is that ok or not? I am not sure if all participants need to participate in the dinner portion of the evening.

I will be around on that day; please add me to the list.

Not a problem - join us when you can.

Jyoti

I'd like to come too! So far, I'm pretty sure I'm bringing Honey Lavender Goat Cheesecake.

Hi,

I am going to bring Jello cake made with ladyfingers.

That sounds delicious.

Jyoti

I'll bring some kind of dessert which contains fruit. I know that is vague. I'll update my posting when I figure it out. Maybe lychee-ginger sorbet if I can find fresh lychee.

We will miss you. If things change, join us.

Hi,

Scratch jello cake, I am making pecan pie.

That is a favorite of my family made with apples, pears, peaches or plums. I have done mango, too. It will be interesting to try yours.

I love kuchens - peach and plum are my favorites.

I decided not to bring a sorbet because it is not easy for people to bring this kind of dessert home. I might bring Pineapple Cake. This is like a square shortbread cookie containing pineapple jam. I was toying with the idea of bringing a dessert soup like sweet red bean soup or mochi, but this might be too strange.

We're pretty open to trying new things so have no fears.

In that case, I'll bring pineapple cake, red bean soup, or mochi. I'll try these out on my family and see which one they like better. If my candied ginger turns out, I'll bring it.

I was starting to think about making plum cake since I found Italian Prune Plumbs at Costco yesterday (a bit early this year). But I'll stick with the Peach Kuchen since I'm getting a favorable response. I had thought that I might make plum cake if I decide to attend the LTH picnic in September.

Ingrid

Time for me to select a dessert - so many choices.

Hi! I'll be bring cassava --h

Jyoti,

Are you going to send out your address via email?

Do the desserts have to be nut free? I don't know if I can make a dessert which contains lotus seeds.

shorty,

I am making a pecan pie. If someone has a nut issue, they will ask what to avoid.

Regards,

I will pm my address to all.
Please bring anything you wish - as Cathy 2 stated, people will just avoid any item they can't eat.

Jyoti

I am leaning toward making a raspberry filled chocolate cupcake.
