    since there hasn't been any consensus on the next exchange, i'm taking this into my hands and announcing the next dessert exchange WILL BE HELD JANUARY 13, 2013 at 4pm, with a light dinner before diving into the desserts. november has thanksgiving; december has cookie monster's cookie exchange; and so january will be a good time to gather. it's a long way off, but i just want this on the calendar..... no one has to committ right now if they don't want to. and there's plenty of time to change the date if it turns out not to be a good one for enough people. i'll bump this in mid-december (someone can help me remember, if they'd be so kind!) justjoan

    Hi,

    I plan to attend, there is a 20% chance I may not be able to make it. If I have to cancel, it will be well in advance.

    Regards,

    I am making a cake, probably a layer cake, that involves a fair amount of chocolate. I finished my year of pie and I am now on my year of cake. I also have 232 loose cake recipes to use and Chocolate Sunday is a-comin', so I need to test something out on my favorite guinea pigs exchangers.

    Thanks for hosting, Joan. I plan on attending. I will let you know if it doesn't work for me.
    No idea as to what I will make. But it probably will be fruit based.
    Apples or pears. Or, why not both? Looking forward to seeing
    the group.

    i have no idea what i'm making either for dinner or for my dessert, BUT---- i do believe that each dessert exchange we should try to get at least one new person to come. please, don't be shy- we love delicious desserts but they do NOT have to be complicated or challenging. i hope someone will take the plunge....we still have room for 2-3 more people. i live 2 blocks from the blue line in wicker park and there is free parking on my street and on north avenue just around the corner. i'm sending directions to sueF, toria, lauraS. i think everyone else knows where i live.....if i'm wrong, let me know. thanks, justjoan

    Hello everyone,

    I've decided to make a Honey-Apple Cake with Honey Sauce. Make sure you bring a small container that will accomodate the cake with sauce.

    See you then,

    If there is still room - I'd like to join.

    Hope to see you soon...
