We are going to try this one again. The original 29th Dessert Exchange was cancelled due to lack of participation. I will be hosting at my home in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. There is easy access from I88, 290, 294, Rt. 83, Roosevelt Rd and 22nd Street; I will PM directions the week prior. If the weather cooperates, we'll dine outdoors on the patio, if not, we'll be indoors. I can accomodate 10 people, including myself.

Rules are:

- I'll provide a light meal. Please let me know if you are vegetarian or have any food allergies or particular dislikes.
- Bring one dessert, enough to feed 10 people
- Bring containers to cart home the desserts. You may want to bring several; one for refrigerated items, one for other items, etc.
- Come hungry!

Attendees

Ms. Ingie - Rhubarb Cheesecake
Toria - What the Spirit moves :-)
Cathy 2 - Lemon Icebox Pie
UCJames - Artisan Chocolates
irisarbor - Girl Scout Cookie Pizza
Pie Lady - coconut marshmallows and Lemon Lavendar Pie
Cookie Monster - lemon pound cake
mrsm - Torta
LauraS - TBD
Ruth (mrsm guest) - Rhubarb Custard Pie (if she can find rhubarb)
SueF - Tunnel of Fudge Cake

Hi,

Once more, I will attempt a lemon ice box pie.

Regards,

I'd like to make it for this one since I actually have that Sunday open. Would something in more of a candy vein be acceptable? That's not necessarily what I'd end up making, but I took a good 11-week class on chocolate at Triton College recently, and I've really been enjoying making chocolates and other confections since then. For a Hawaiian themed party yesterday I took a classic nougat recipe and replaced the more typical fill-ins with macadamia nuts and dried pineapple, papaya and mango. It turned out to be pretty fun to make, and a big hit at the party.

As far as food goes I can't really eat mushrooms, unfortunately.

I think I'm having a graduation party on Saturday, but what the heck- I'm going to go ahead and say Yes!
I'll probably do some kind of cookie so I can bake ahead and put them in the freezer due to the time/exhaustion factor...LOL
Although you should have seen the whirlwind of activity I ended up being this weekend LOL
I had to come to work to relax...

I'll come too! If Cathy doesn't mind, I'll bring the lemon lavender pie this time. Otherwise, I have two other ideas to pick from. Either way, I'm making coconut marshmallows too.

Cathy does not mind. Since I have said several months in a row I was bringing Lemon IceBox Pie and didn't, I am not too reliable! :)

Most times we don't know what we are in the mood for until that day or the day before. No worries; everything you bring is always great.

Mrsm may attend if she's in town. If she does, she'll make a Torta for dinner instead of bringing a dessert.

In that case, I'll make that, possibly with a goat butter crust.

As long as the butter doesn't taste like goat cheese.

Cuz it's too much tartness or you don't like goat cheese?

Don't like goat cheese. I believe that is a crime on LTH.

There's a whole thread in which 50%* of posters think White Castle is the bees' knees. I think that grants you a full pardon...or at least a slap on the wrist.

I will attend and bring a torta instead of dessert. Probably will fill it with ricotta, spinach and peppers. If anyone has food allergies that they prefer not to post here, PM me or Ms. Ingie.

Hmm I don't know. I was thinking of chocolate. If everyone want to do a "lemon fest" I will play along. Otherwise I might decide a day or two in advance...lemon or chocolate?
