Oh boy! You don't like watermelon either!

Monday, October 5th is great with me. I'm putting it on the Calendar.

Great! Works for me, too.

Thanks, Molly.

You betcha! You are now #1 on the wait list.

I'm crossing my fingers that something opens up. (Although it would means someone else couldn't come .) I typically have a meeting on the First Monday of the month, except for during the summer, so this would be my only opportunity as I'll be out of town during August. If I do make it in, are you looking towards light summer desserts, or would something decadent be welcome as well?

I think we can handle one more. Why don't you come too? Since we already discussed the idea of scaling recipes down a bit, we shouldn't be overloaded.

As for types of desserts, decadent is always welcome, but make whatever your heart desires.

pie lady-dont forget to PM us your address. thanks, justjoan

All set.

Pie Lady - Thank you so much for opening a spot for me. I will ponder the dessert choice. Just this morning I thought that perhaps I should make Pavlovas. I'll let you know.

Ms. Ingie

Hi,

I will bring banana ice cream. It's early enough, I can get bananas now to overripen.

Regards,

I will make either a Berry Blitz torte or a [Rasp]Berry Tea cake with Mascarpone filling. Can't wait!

Okay, the menu has been set. I'm making Honey Cardamom Ice Cream for my dessert, and for dinner it's a choice between two soups: Balinese Vegetable and Cream of Mushroom with Tarragon.

Sounds delicious!

Hi,

I am somewhat reluctant to bring a second ice cream. What if I made homemade pop tarts instead?

Regards,

great idea cathy. i wouldnt tell anyone NOT to bring ice cream, but since the plan is for us to be able to take desserts home, rather than try to eat them all at the party, i think a dessert that transports better than ice cream makes sense. i still dont know what i'm making. i think it'll be a last minute decision. jj

I think that sounds awesome. I saw you mention them in the poptart thread and am just having a hard time imagining them. Definitely looking forward to trying yours!

O.K., I definately settled on Pavlova, and since I'll have egg yolks leftover, I plan on making creme brulee as well (just a small amount).

You have a point. So I'm for sure making Pistachio Vanilla Lemon Shortbread but I have some cardamom honey ice cream on hand, so that can be the side if anyone wants some.

pielady: i am very much looking forward to your cardomom ice cream! but knowing you were making ice cream, it made sense for others not to..... justjoan

Don't worry, I'll still have both.

i'm making something with white peaches, my favorite summer fruit. either a puff paste pie, or a cobbler, not sure yet.... (edited to add): i'm making peach cobbler with cardomom so it will positively scream out for some homemade honey cardomom ice cream on the side (though i'm bringing clabbered cream to top it as well) justjoan

I'm bringing an Apricot Tart.

All-
I went out and bought a dessert wine and a white and realized afterward that I only have 4 wine glasses. Can somebody bring a few more? Thanks!

i'll bring some wineglasses, no worries. joan

Would 90 minutes in the fridge be enough to chill a full bottle and two halves?

I made a cherry cornmeal upsidedown cake. I realized shortly after I put it in the oven that i had forgotten to fold in the beaten egg whites. It was too late to start over, so I went ahead and baked it and it came out looking and smelling good, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

As a backup, I made some grownup jello shots: anise hyssop, lemon and gin.

eli, we can smother the upsidedown cake with whipped cream and it'll taste great. the shots sound awesome. see you later, joan

Hi,

If whipped cream is needed, I have a carton I haven't opened yet. Just let me know.

Regards,

cathy, i'll bring a little extra of my pseudo clabbered cream (sour cream whipped with whipping cream) so if eli wants to 'enhance' his upside down cake, there will be enough. unless eli responds otherwise, of course. joan
