22nd Dessert Exchange - Sunday, August 21, 5:00

Post #1 - July 11th, 2011, 6:54 pmEdited: Date changed to Sunday, August 21.
Hi everyone! I will be hosting the next dessert exchange in my Logan Square apartment. We will meet Sunday, August 21, at 5:00. We are close to the California Blue Line stop and very close to 90/94, and have room for about 10 people.
No theme, or anything, but I'm hoping for lots of good fruit desserts given the time of year!
Here are the basics on the exchange:
1) I’ll serve a light vegetarian dinner, followed by the dessert tasting.
2) Bring one recipe size of any dessert – no doubling or tripling of recipes necessary. Feel free to make whatever you like. (But just an FYI: some participants are vegetarians and/or don't drink alcohol, so just advise if your dessert includes those ingredients)
3) Bring one large, (or several small) container(s) to transport dessert swap-o-rama home
4) Come hungry
Hope to see you there!

Post #5 - July 12th, 2011, 3:28 pmLaura,
I think you should consider another date. I forgot about Pie Lady's event already planned for sometime. I already committed to attending, too.
I personally cannot make 14th, though I am available the other two Sundays. Don't plan around me.
Sorry about this!
Regards,Cathy2

Post #6 - July 12th, 2011, 6:15 pmOops, I missed that Plethora of Pie is the 7th. Let's change the date to the 21st of August, still at 5:00. And I would love to show some honeymoon photos!
I'm hoping to put some of the food ones online sometime soon.

That sounds devine, and a chocolate crust sounds like just the ticket.
I just has a thought, we should probably have an all pie dessert exchange at some point.Ms. Ingie

Post #26 - August 16th, 2011, 3:07 pmAn all-pie exchange would be awesome, although I will admit that my pie crusts are definitely hit or miss. Can't decide what I'm making yet. Maybe some kind of tarte tatin or upside down cake with plums or apricots?

I vote for apricot upside down cake, or better yet, a mix of plums and apricot. As far as your pie crust goes, make a pie in a graham cracker crust!Ms. Ingie
