Thanks to toria for hosting another badass exchange. And please thank Frank for us for those delightful wursts. I believe that was my first Italian sausage. Everybody's dessert was delightful and I look forward to trying what I missed tomorrow.

PS irisarbor and Ingie...do your desserts need to be refrigerated?

PS Everybody: Cookie Monster mentioned having an ice cream social. I seem to recall going to the last one but I can't remember what I made, and I'd rather not do a repeat. I can't find the thread...if someone else has better luck, please post a link!

Thanks,

I would refrigerate the Rhubarb dessert as the topping used several eggs.

I ended up refrigerating everything because it's hotter than Satan's asshole in here. But thanks for the tip, I didn't think of the amount of eggs.

Pictures? Is there a date and place for the next one?

I will try to post pictures on Wednesday. I think we're skipping July as most are busy and there is some discussion of an ice cream social dessert exchange in August. September may be out at the U-Pick Raspberry Farm.

i'd be happy to host the next exchange, whenever it is....easy parking in logan square.

Oo...maybe I can walk there.

Joan,

To bring you up-to-date: July was nixed due to many events on people's calendars. Dobra suggested hosting an ice cream social in August.

Regards,

Thanks everyone, what a fun and delicious get-together.
It was so great to de-compress with you all.
Especially good to see your mom, Ingrid.

Better late than never. Thanks to Toria for hosting Toria's Wursti Haus. And special thanks to Frank for manning the grill.


Appetizer Mushrooms - mmmmmm


Spinach dip in a bread bowl. Crustless Quiche off in the corner.


Crustless Quiche with suprize jalapenos inside.

Appetizers were followed by brats and Italian Sausage, German potato salad (my recipe), and Broccoli Slaw with a peanut dressing.

So......'sup with August?

Seems that nobody has replied. August has basically come and gone. Usually there is no exchange in Sept. due to the picnic. So then maybe October? I did see at one time that Joan wanted to host but have not seen any further talk of it on here. October anyone?

I don't want to speak for anyone or put pressure on anyone, but I thought razbry mentioned doing something in September. If I'm wrong, please correct me!

Check with Joan. I ran into her a few weeks ago and I know she wants to host.

why not a dessert exchange in september? i'd be happy to host, and it might still be warm enough out to use my new back deck. is there any interest in either september 7th or september 21st?

At razbry's request, an exchange for September is up ...

Thanks Cathy I missed that. Possibly Joan will take October then.

thanks cathy. i'd be happy to host october, if that's ok.
