pie lady and i are ready for another dessert exchange. i'm offering to volunteer my home on sunday, 12/11/11. it looks like november will slither by without a gathering. any interest?? joan

okay, we are set for december 11. there is still room for a few more people but the list so far:
justjoan
izzy
cathy2
ms. ingie
toria
cookie monster
pie lady
laura s
gohan lover (sick, didnt make it)

the usual 'rules' apply. i'll make dinner (non vegetarian, unless i'm told otherwise). please bring separate containers for messy/dry desserts. bring 1 dessert, divisible into portions for the final number of people. i'll email my wicker park address (near the blue line-free parking on my street and around the corner on north avenue), closer to the date. as usual, it'll be a lot of fun. i might make punch. justjoan

HI,

Could this double as the cookie exchange or will that be a separate event?

Regards,

If there is no November exchange, I will come with two pies in December. Can't get off schedule, you know.

I will bring Maple Buttermilk Pie and an Ecclefechan Tart.

I'm pretty sure that was a separate event. I'm not sure, but I think one person always had the cookie exchange; it wasn't one of the rotating dessert exchanges.

Hi,

Dobra/Cookie Monster has usually hosted the cookie exchange. Last year it was on the first Sunday in December. I will cross my fingers and hope it occurs.

Regards,

I would be interested in this one. I could bring a cake of some kind.

Please include me. Thanks for hosting. I don't yet know what I will be making.

cathy: why not email dobra and gently nudge her about the cookie exchange. she's always so busy, she might appreciate the reminder. joan

I would like to attend. I will bring marzipan stollen with me.

I would like to attend. I will post my contribution at another time. As far a November goes, I was wondering if anyone wanted to do another pie crawl or perhaps a Thanksgiving-themed dessert crawl - looking for pumpkin desserts offered only during this time of year.

I think the pumpkin one would be easier to arrange. I'm also planning another pie thon in January. Save the date...it's 1/28.

I would love to come to this exchange! Not sure what I will bring yet, but it may involve cranberries. Hope to see everyone soon.

Okay, I remembered Joan's love of cranberries and I do have a bag in my freezer...I may change one of my selections for a secret cranberry pie-related something.

good call, pielady. i think i'm making a cranberry swirl cheesecake with maybe a cranberry compote. can't have too much of a good thing.... justjoan

I can't make it this time (my daughter is in a production of the Nutcracker that day) but hopefully I'll be able to make it to the next one.

All right, I'm officially swayed. I'm making Nantucket Cranberry Pie, and I'm still making either the Maple Buttermilk Pie or Ecclefechan Tart, too.

i just want to confirm with the 2 people i don't know well (gohan lover and toria) that neither of you are vegetarians. if you are, let me know, and i'll make a vegetarian dinner. also, there is still room for 1 or 2 more people to join us. i just PM'd my directions(a bit long winded) to those who need them. see you all sunday about 5. justjoan

O.K. everyone, got my desserts narrowed down to three, so let's have a vote.

Eggnog Cheesecake (a big hit at my City Hall)
Gingerbread Cheesecake
Glazed Gingerbread Cake

HI,

For variety, why not the eggnog cake?

Regards,

I was going to say that too. But I'd like to try either cheesecake.

Not vegetarian here! I will eat *almost* anything. Thanks for asking, though.

Eggnogg cheesecake it is.

I finally decided on Pie 2: Maple Buttermilk. Pray my crust turns out, it's a bit of an odd one.
