63rd Dessert Exchange - November 6th, 4pm

Hi, all. I'll be hosting the next dessert exchange at our home in Evanston. Everyone is welcome!

Here is the basic format for the dessert exchange:

1) I’ll serve a light dinner
2) Bring one recipe size of any dessert – no doubling or tripling of recipes needed!
3) Bring a container, or three, to transport your dessert assortment home.

Feel free to make whatever you like. (some participants are vegetarians and/or those who don't drink alcohol, so just advise if your dessert includes those ingredients)

We're on a quiet block with easy street parking in west Evanston. My 3 year old will probably be hanging out with us. We have room for about 12 people. Hope to see everyone soon!

Participants:
1) LauraS
2) pairs4life
3)Cathy2
4) Cookie Monster
5) justjoan
6) irisarbor
7) izzy
suef
9) kalamazoogal
10) David
11) Baker Deb

I hope to attend. I will bring lavender shortbread.

HI,

Unless family pulls a surprise, I will come with yet another state fair recipes.

I bought four-pounds of butter today, so I am set!

I would like to sign up, not sure what I will be bringing with me.

I usually buy a pound or 2 a month for use throughout the year and frequently freezing it. Well this last year I did very little shopping and goodness we are in premium season and wow butter is expensive!

HI,

Depending on social activities, these four pounds will last just over a month.

Regards,

thanks laura, please count me in.

Count me in as well
I think the crazy season is over for now
dessert TBD

izzy would like you to add her to the list of attendees, thanks

ONJ4ever asked me to add her as well as another friend Natalie.

Please add me to the list.

Sorry, am not able to attend. Closing performance of a play I'm in that afternoon.

I would like to join you all again. I will bring a favorite of ours for this time of year... my apple cake with caramel and pecans.

i'm planning to make a very weird sounding cake from smitten kitchen- it starts off looking like cookie layers in a cake shape, but after soaking overnight in sour cream (!) frosting, it apparently puffs up and softens into cake layers. if it's terrible, we'll still have plenty of desserts.....

No. I subscribe.

My friend David, you may recall me posting on awesome dinners I have had at a neighbors, would also like to attend.

Hi all. So excited to see that we'll have a big turnout. Pairs4life, maybe I'll have Kevin stay for the exchange so that we have another guy. I know he's secretly sad when I kick him out

If it's not too late, I would like to attend as well. I am new to the forum and love to bake. Cookies are my speciality, but I haven't decided what to bring.

I'll add you to the list! We love having new faces. Welcome!

Alrighty, y'all. I think we can squeeze in one more person, but then I'll have to close the attending list and start a waitlist.
I'm still trying to decide what to make for dessert.

Planning on sweet potato poundcake
remember some of us need directions
See you Sunday
E

Hi, all. I'm sending a PM in just a minute with my address and general directions. Let me know if you don't see it or need more specific directions. See you all on Sunday!

laura, i got your PM and i wont have any trouble finding your house, but you might want to add your phone number....just in case others do

I just heard from Judie and Natalie that they are unable to attend.

Good point, Joan. I will send another PM with my phone number.

That's too bad! Hopefully they'll be able to come to the next exchange.

HI,

Yes, this should be special.
