Now w/ Pics! 18th Dessert Exchange, Sunday, March 6th

The next dessert exchange will be Sunday, March 6th at my place in Old Town(what was formerly deemed Cabrini-Green) at 5 pm. My place is 3 blocks from the Sedgwick stop on the brown line.

There is street parking. It will be permit parking at 6 pm, but I will provide a permit for anyone who wants to drive.

We have an active dog who will probably stay as close to me as she can.

A baker's dozen is the limit for participants.

Here is the basic format for the dessert exchange:

1) I’ll serve a vegetarian dinner
2) Bring one recipe size of any dessert – no doubling or tripling of recipes needed!
3) Bring a container to transport your dessert assortment home. (Or two, one for refrigerated desserts and one for non-refrigerated desserts.)
4) Come hungry. You probably won’t want to eat another dessert afterwards for another month.

Feel free to make whatever you like. (Although in the past, some participants have been vegetarians and/or those who don't drink alcohol, just advise if your dessert includes those ingredients)

1. mbh- Irish Soda Bread
2. Ms. Ingie
3. Pie Lady- Mardi Gras Lemon Bars
4. alliepsp- Salted Rosemary Cookies

The Wait List Begins (That was fast!)

HI,

I plan to attend.

Regards,

I will attend. Dessert TBD.

Pairs4life & Cathy 2 have convinced me that I need to join the dessert exchange. I'm in and since it's March I'll my my family recipe for Irish bread.

I'm in - dessert TBA. I've been on a fruit-based dessert lately, so maybe rhubarb.

Me too! I'm undecided on my contribution. Is there a theme?

I would LOVE to come!
What to make? I'll think of something.
See you then!

Allie

Street parking is good/okay (new construction going up so have construction materials, equipment taking up several spots on block, but South end of block is still quite good. Yes it's permit after 6 & yes I will have sticker if you are going to park.

You are in .

Hello fellow food lovers! I am new, and very excited to attend a dessert exchange. Please include me in the last spot.

No. But your Mardis Gras Lemon Bars would be great since Fat Tuesday is 48 hours after the dessert exchange.

I have to bow out. My wife reminded me that I have a prior commitment that evening.

Oh no! And with that Izzy is off of the wait list.

Eli see you soon.

I'm sorry that Eli can't come. but......I am not sure as to what I will make Sunday. Possibly a kugel; definitely something from Joan Nathan's new book, Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous. It is full of wonderful food. Maybe a carrot torte? I am looking forward to a great time. izzy

i'm pretty sure dobra can't make it-someone might give her a nudge to remove her name..... joan

Really? Yesterday, she told me she would see me there.

You are 1st on Wait list. It filled up very quickly as you can see. Plan to attend, because usually we have more than 1 person drop out.

It's the same day as the Paczki Extravaganza which ends at 5.

i have a prior engagement, so i will regretfully not be on the waiting list. p4l: if you talked to dobra yesterday, that is more recently than i did. so, i'll butt out of the conversation. joan

HI,

Long before this date, I committed to going to a sauerkraut dinner. If I remembered this earlier, I would not have affirmed my attendance.

I'm sorry for any inconvenience by cancelling. I love these shared dessert rampages.
