    'Hope springs eternal' and in anticipation of Spring, I am happy to announce the 66th Dessert Exchange on April 2nd at our home in Glen Ellyn. I will serve a light supper and then we will sample and savor an array of desserts. Bring one dessert to share and containers to take home a sampling of each dessert. I have room for a Baker's Dozen. Everyone is welcome, whether you are a seasoned LTHer or a relative newbie. #buildalongertable
    Celia Rodee (KalamazooGal) and my sidekick Peter Cooper.
    NOTE: As of 4/1, the group is 16. You do NOT necessarily need to double your dessert. I will have sharpened knives and we can slice thin. If you are bringing cookies, it would be good to have at least 16, so one for each of us. Here is the latest list of attendees and planned offerings:
    1) Pairs4Life - Grapefruit and Black Pepper Meringue Pie
    2) ONJ4Ever - Pistachio Cardamon loaf cake
    3) Just Joan - fabulous peanut butter sandwich cookies
    4) Cathy2 - Grandma Quakenbush's pineapple apricot pie
    5) JennyIL - Malted Milk layered cake with Chocolate frosting
    6) Izaglu - Flan with Raspberries
    7) Ms. Ingie - Tea Brack
    8) Toria- Mrs. Buershapers Molasses crinkles
    9) KalamazooGal (Celia) Momofuku MILK Crack Pie
    10) LordBarnyard (Peter) Homemade strawberry icecream
    11) ParnumMorses - SIcK :-( - sent Key Lime Bars
    12) Wild Rice - Milk Street's Tahini Brownies
    13) Izzy2 - Organic Blueberry Cake
    14) Cookie Monster - Pistachio Shortbread cookies
    16) LauraS - milk chocolate, toffee, pecans (except forAva) & pretzel pieces cookies -SICK. :-(
    (I have sent my address and directions via private message. Let me know if you have any questions

    Long term participant, Wild Rice just signed up. Her post is not showing.

    So I know she wishes to be added to the list for this exchange.
    Assuming she can attend, she will make the Tahnini Brownies from the current issue of Milk Street.
    TIA

    Hi Cookie Monster and LauraS, you are both on the waitlist. Stay tuned.
    We can probably make a larger group work at our house.
