It's early, I know, but my place gets hot in the summer so I wanted to host another before it's too uncomfortable to do so.* Our house is in Niles and I will send out directions closer to the date. It's fairly easy to get to and there's plenty of free parking. Warning: I have a cat! But he's a friendly fellow.

I am capping the number of attendees at eight including myself.

I don't know what dinner will be, but I'll make sure it's garlic and onion free. I'm leaning towards Neptune Salad (hope y'all like salmon).

How the exchange works
Bring one dessert that can be tasted and divided up among the participants. Bring containers for transporting desserts home.

Participants
1. Pie Lady - Lavender Lemon Pie and possibly something else
2. Cathy2 - possibly Lemon Icebox Pie
3. toria -
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.


*I'm also calling dibs on February 2013.

Hi,

I plan to attend. Maybe this time it will be the Lemon Ice Box Pie promised earlier.

Regards,

Put me down as attending. I don't mind a cat as long as he is not an attack cat. Or a nice dog. I do not know what I will bring. Possibly blueberry boy bait.

So sorry about the date. But congrats to your daughter!

I have tickets to the 2:00 pm performance of the Joffrey that day, so I won't be able to attend as I wouldn't be able to get there until after 5:00 pm.

Well, we have a decision to make. It seems there may only be three of us.

Should we cancel this month? Or make it either the 13th or 20th, but then someone else will have to host?

The 13th is probably out for most as that is Mother's Day. The 20th would work for me. I could host again or if the weather permits, we could do an outdoor thing as suggested earlier. The 6th is a bit too close for me. As I said earlier, I have tickets to the ballet, but my kitchen won't be finished until early next week and then the clean-up and restocking the cabinets begins. I think it would be a bit ambitious for me to attempt making the 6th.

I am canceling this event on the 6th, since three folks is not really enough for an exchange.
HOWEVER
If the 13th, 20th, or 27th is better, someone please feel free to host. I don't mind missing one. I will host again in the future, too.

With mothers day and graduations maybe have one in early June??? It should not be too hot then. Just an idea I am open as to date and time.
