If you expand the exchange we may need to double the size of our desserts so that there is enough for everyone.

I plan on making a citrus olive oil cake of some kind.

That sounds delicious Ms. Ingie!
When we make the call on expanding, we will also comment on quantity. I hesitate to have people double recipes as we will have a LOT of desserts. Maybe smaller portions? Still thinking on this.... (AND of all the challenges I am thinking on today, this is the most pleasant... )

We don't need double desserts. It is an LTH event. There will be enough. Or I can forgo any portion I would have so that anyone else is not left out. Double desserts means more work. I would probably skip attending before I did that.

My + 1 is planning a lemon olive oil cake with berries and marscapone. The recipe reminds me of an italian-influenced/inspired victoria sponge.

i agree that it wouldn't be neccessary to double up on desserts. i don't mind if i don't take anything home to eat, but just sample at the exchange. it's quality not quantity i'm in for!

Variety. Mine would be very plain though.

Oh!

I looked up tea brack. Sounds fascinating. Everything does not need to be fancy. I am looking for lovely tasting first.

I am looking forward to meeting you Ms. Ingie.

Hi,

I am bringing an Grandma Quakenbush's apricot-pineapple pie from the Indiana State Fair.

This receipt was passed down to me from my mother, Maude Quakenbush. She was Champion Pie-Baker at the Indiana State Fair in 1959 and 1960 exhibiting a Pineapple Pie in 1959 and a Raisin Pie in 1960.

Regards,
Cathy2

And the answer is NO. She uses lard for the pie crust. But it sound interesting. May try it with the Milkstreet crust I have been enjoying these days. I have one more pie crust to try before I think Milkstreet's becomes my new base crust.

I can only eat lard or shortening crusts. Eating away from home is crapshoot for me. I may only be able to eat what I bring, but that's my cross to bare.

it's awful that you can't eat butter, but it'll be really great to see you- it's been too long.

Hi,

I wasn't planning on making her crust, just the filling.

So is your crust vegetarian?
If so I look forward to it.

I have a myriad of food allergies including milk and all nuts, that's why I have avoided LTH functions for the better part of the last year. I miss the fellowship and have been missed by others, so since you are in the "neighborhood" I thought I'd come this month. I will not impose my allergies on anyone. I will bring my own food and only take desserts that are safe, unless I grab a couple for my sweetie.

Oh, you got jokes.

As much as I'd like to see the inevitable throwdown, I'm unable to because I'm an idiot.

I'm co-hosting a beta critique class until 4pm, and it's nowhere near Glen Ellyn. Sorry about this, guys! I was looking forward to it too. Hopefully I'll be around for the next one. Post pictures!

You will be missed (as will your pie).

Thanks!
