dessert.

nanna & i had a colossal baking day a couple of weeks before o&c's wedding.  it was all in prep for the dessert reception, to be held the evening before the big day.  here's what came out of two ladies, one kitchen, a few guys in & out, a babe to help, and one long, sweet day:
-3doz brownies
-2doz gingersnap gems
-4doz lemon squares
-8doz oreo truffles
-4doz mini cheesecakes
-3doz meringue kisses
plus
-a lasagna dinner
-a sloppy joes lunch
-a mother's day special: lemon meringue pie

all in all, the baking extravaganza included only three trips to the supermarket (bringing home cream cheese each time!), and i was pleasantly surprised that my mother-in-law welcomed me into her kitchen for the full day.  indeed, we had a ton of fun!
