STILL SPOTS!27th Dessert Exchange Sunday March 11th 4:00 pm

Hi everyone,

I am hosting the March dessert exchange on Sunday March 11 at four pm. I am capping the number of attendees at twelve including myself and Frank who will be assisting in making some of the food.

We talked about having chicken curry, lentils and rice at the Jan. exchange. Let me know if anyone is vegetarian so I will ensure there will be non meat options. I will send out directions to my home in Wheaton when the event gets closer. I live near major highways and its easy to get here and there is lots of parking.

How the exchange works:

Bring one dessert that can be tasted and divided up among the participants. Bring containers for transporting desserts home.
Looking forward to seeing all.

Participants:
1. Toria
2. Frank
3. Pie Lady
4. Sue F.
5. Ingie
6. Cathy 2
7.

Thanks for hosting. I'm in. Unless there is a major weather glitch. I will make a fruit based dessert. Likely something with apples and ?????????? to be decided.

Please add me too. I'm making Sour Cream Apple Pie.

I will be there. Not sure what I am going to bring yet. Probably something with chocolate.

I'm in. Closest one ever to my house. Not sure yet what I'll make, but it could be a strudel of some kind or I just found a recipe for Chocolate Baklava.

Just a reminder....come one, come all up to the alloted number. We will have rice and curry and many great desserts!!!

Hi,

I plan to attend. What I will bring, no clue.

It might be a chocolate cheesecake, which I never made and wouldn't mind tasting. I am not yet making it my final effort.

Regards,

OK. Decided. An old fashioned apple pie.
And, because I am a chocoholic, chocolate cookies, small and lethal................

Oh good, now I can narrow down my apple pies easier. What kind of crust were you making? Double crust, single with streusel...?

Hmm maybe I will make a pie too. It will not be a fruit pie...I have brought cakes so far so maybe I need to switch it up.

Double crust. The way my grandmother Mary used to make her apple pie. If it turns out as well as one of hers, that will be a fine pie.

Sweet. I'm down to three options from five. I'll have a definite answer by next week.

Toria,
I am so sorry. I will be unable to attend the exchange.
I hope you all have a lovely time.

No problem. Will catch you at the next one.

Bumping this up as a reminder. We have lots more room for folks. Maybe some new forum members will venture out and come!

I will send the directions out tomorrow. I am hoping some of you will consider attending. Also any newcomers are welcome. Give this a whirl, you might like it!!! And bring a dessert.

I have sent private messages with directions. Let me know if you did not get one. Also if you have not yet responded or might be interested in joining the fun, let me know.

I did not get the directions - could you please resend.
I am making the crack pie from the Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook.

Ditto.

Me too.

Just checking...
I will be working at McCormick Place this Sunday from 7am-3pm, so I was thinking of bringing my pie with me, but only if it does not need refrigeration. If I keep it out of the sun, in one of those hot/cold bags with an ice pack, will it keep okay?

Should be fine as long as it isn't pudding or gelatin based

Nope, none of that. I was thinking of making one with sour cream in it, but it would be baked in the filling. Would that be okay? If not, I have three other recipes to try.

HI,

We will have unseasonally warm temperatures on Sunday. I suggest making a fruit pie without dairy for these circumstances. Better safe than everyone being sorry later.

I will make something on Sunday morning. I am not quite sure what, though it may be the originally suggested chocolate cheesecake.

Regards,

I am in the process of making an entirely dairy-free pie right now, while my kitchen fills up with smoke. Ah, drips.

My official entry is Honey Apple Pie. If I have energy, I may make an extra little sumpin' sumpin.

With this, toria's fruit pie, SueF's crack pie and your cheesecake, it appears we have a theme going.

I have changed to mango bread pudding to keep somewhat consistent with the indian dinner. But all will be good....looking forward. I will send directions to anyone who has not gotten them.

Sue I sent the directions. Let me know if you did not get them.

I resent them. I do not know why they did not take the first time. If anyone does not have the directions email me and I will send them through regular email.

Checking in. I will be making a Salted Butter Pie from the Fat cookbook by Jennifer McLagan. It only has three ingredients in the filling and is super rich and sweet. I'll bring fresh whipped cream.

Hi,

I am bringing cranberry nut bars.

Chocolate cheesecake will have to be another day.

Regards,
