14th Dessert Exchange- October 17th

Host: msoma97

Date: Sunday, October 17th- 5:00 p.m.

*Be sure to get in touch with Pairs4life for some free flour!* JustJoan used the flour last month from Industrial Harvest- thanks for telling us about it.

Location: Oak Park. Green Line (Oak Park stop) is a 15 minute walk. Parking is available on side streets one block away.

I have one cat who will hide under the bed, so allergen alert.

Basic exchange rules:
1) I'll provide a light vegetarian dinner and drinks. (Please let me know if you have any food allergies or other dietary restrictions.)
2) Bring one dessert, no need to double or triple the recipe, there's always plenty!
3) Bring containers for taking your portions of each dessert home. We nibble on the desserts at the exchange and then all take samples home. You'll probably need at least a few good sized containers.
4) Come hungry!

Everyone is welcome! Event is capped at 8 people (including me) due to space limitations.

Attendees:
1. msoma97- World Peace Cookies (using 'Industrial Harvest' flour)
2. Ms. Ingie
3 cookiemonster
4. pielady
5. justjoan
6. mmmdonuts
7. eli
8. Cathy2

Wait List:
1. chouxfly
2.

Didn't you host recently, or did that get cancelled or changed to a new venue? At any rate, the new date makes this doable for me. I will get back to you on what I'll bring.

Yes, I had to cancel, so this is the new date. See you then!

I'm in but need to leave about 6:30 pm to head to the airport.

Thanks for hosting.

I can make it! I will be making my first ever pie for the exchange: Pumpkin Coconut or Praline Apple or Pear Almond.

Hooray pie season!

sounds great. i'm in and will post with my dessert when i decide (usually at the last minute). after eating world peace cookies at the lth picnic, i'm now quite addicted to them, so look forward to eating them again on the 17th. justjoan

Well I'm glad the cookies were good. I hate to repeat something, but the recipe sounded awfully tasty!

Should I make something with pumpkin?

This is "MmmDonuts" aka Denise, replying with enthusiasm! I would love to attend. It will be my first time, but I've been firing up the oven, getting ready and can't wait.
I see the date is Oct 17th, but I don't see the time or specific address (besides Oak Park).

Anyway, thanks for inviting me and my sweet tooth

I can vouch she's a great baker & cook. She's also a former roomie & dear friend so she's no stalker/virus mule, or spammer

i look forward to meeting you on the 17th. if you look at the top of the first post, you'll see the time is 5pm. this will be our first weekend dessert exchange. melissa, our host, will PM us with her address and directions closer to the date. personal info shouldnt be shared on the board. see you then, justjoan

I keep thinking about the Pumpkin Coconut so unless I can't find canned pumpkin anywhere, I'll bring that. One of the other two pies I mentioned will be backups in the case of no pumpkin or utter failure.

the pumpkin crop was good this year. there shouldn't be any problem finding canned pumpkin. jj

Please count me in also. I'm having dessert exchange withdrawal. Not sure yet what I'll bring, although not coming straight from work will open up the possibilities a bit.

I agree about not coming straight from work changes things.

I have a suggestion & yeah you can vote it down, but there's a new thread up for a Southern/Cajun food exchange. I would love to do a future dessert exchange that's for lack of a better word, "Songs of the South". Yes, I would count Florida & its coastal islands.

Thoughts?

Having your thoughts today would be great.

Haw haw!
I'm already compieling a list of Southern desserts to have ready to go! See "Best Thing Eaten Lately."

I'm sorry I won't be able to make this exchange, but I love the idea of a Southern desserts theme for the future!

I think the southern theme sounds fun.

Hi,

I would like to join in, too.

Regards,

All the spots are full now. If you'd like to attend, I've started a 'wait list' in case someone cancels.

Would it be okay if I brought two desserts? I found a recipe for Prosecco Pear Tiramisu that I just have to try.

get real....you can't actually think anyone would object to 2 desserts, can you? anything pear is good by me. justjoan

I figured that would be the answer!

I would like to be added to the dessert exchange.
I know that there is a waitlist, so let me know if someone cannot make it.

Curses! Last week I was set for trial, opposing counsel answered not ready. Trial is now scheduled to commence on Monday. I'm bowing out of the exchange so someone else can step in.

dobra asked me to respond for her. she would love to come sunday so, melissa, please take cookiemonster off the waiting list and move her up. i'll see you all sunday. if i remember to buy olive oil, i'm making an orange scented olive oil cake. joan



edited to change dessert choice.

Hi;

I know i'm too late to get into this dessert exchange, but I'd be interested in attending the next one.
