On Friday I visit Jackie Burris where I talk about book bloggers and why we need them.
This week, in between getting my regular writing done, guest posts, and eavesdropping on the group read, I also have company coming over Friday night. Greg is insisting we eat off real plates. Sheesh!
I'm coming up short on dessert ideas though. Aside from ice cream, what can I serve that's not too heavy or hot? The main course will probably be rib eye steaks or ribs, depending on what jumps out of the freezer first.

It's monstrously hot where you are, isn't it? We got a taste of that last week and it was awful. I hope you're staying cool.
How about ice cream, but dressed for guests? I have often made an ice cream cake. Fast, refreshing and guests appreciate the "trouble" although it is fairly effortless. Just a couple of flavors of ice cream, a largish round metal bowl, layering in crushed cookies, nuts and even fruit. When it's all frozen, it slips out of the bowl like a dream. Some whipped cream, or even a couple of brownie bites, make the dish cool and fun.
Okay, now I'm hungry.
Thanks. And yes. Very hot. We are breaking heat records left and right.
Angelina: Try it. I really like Cate's books.
Since you'll have to use real plates for dinner - darnit - then simplicity will be key. Here is a link with a few recipe ideas for dessert:

I found the Strawberry Angel Food Dessert most appealing.
That group read at Riverina Romantics sounds interesting. Think I'll try and stop by.
Krista. She who does not entertain and with good reason.
Krista: Your style of dessert is about my range. LOL.
Madeleine: I had to look up pavlova and nearly fainted. You're obviously mistaking me with someone who can cook/bake. LOL.
I wonder if i can serve everyone popsicles.
Buy a pound cake, whipped cream and strawberries - instant strawberry shortcake. Or just fruit and whipped cream. Mm, or fruit and chocolate (it's so hot it will melt on its own, lol)
As for dessert, here's a super easy dish, even if it does include ice cream ;)
Good vanilla bean ice cream.
Cantelope and honeydew melon balls.
A sprinkle or two or six of tawny or ruby port.
Cathy: Greg may forego the ice cream for the port. LOL
I was thinking maybe sherbert instead of ice cream, or even something like Banana Pudding with vanilla wafers, that would be too down home but it is easy and light if you do not eat too much of it...
I liked Krista's idea, make my frosting chocolate.LOL
Charlie: :o)
