Supper Club Takes Off....

Many of you dear readers have followed the past few years of our illustrious Dinner Club.  Well, some fun friends of ours decided to start a club of their own and were kind enough to ask us to join...and even host the first event to show them "the way".  So last Saturday evening we hosted the first edition of "Supper Club", not to be confused in later posts with "Dinner Club".  The evening was a huge hit and lasted into the wee hours of Sunday morning.  There was much laughter and frolicking with many memories already for the record book.

We got it all started with appetizers consisting of Havarti cheese/crackers, mixed olives and nuts and a warm serving of burgundy mushrooms, a recipe courtesy of the Caver Family.  Next followed a cleansing of the palette with a nice orange sorbet.  After which followed a full main course serving of pot roast, Parmesan/garlic green beans and domino potatoes with a side of artisan bread choices.  The dinner was finished off with a serving of 2 different aged ports and a heaping of chocolate, chocolate chip bunt cake.  We served bottles of wine from my late Father's collection, all from the California Wine Club and all with a 90+ rating...very nice!  We were also privileged to use almost all of my late Mother's fine china and crystal with various family members beautifully aged silver pieces.

Late night with port and cigars...

Now the dinner may have been completed but the festivities continued on to the back porch for more fun, wine and cigars.  Needless to say, we now have 2 dinner/supper clubs to look forward to every other month!  Thanks to the Sakson's for putting the group together and especially for including us in the terrific fun!  We are so pleased to be part of the membership!
