CLUB HOLIDAY PARTY!
December 13, 2025
Did you miss it? Kathi & Peter opened their home once again for a magnificent GWBdFC Holiday Party (and a bit of business at our Annual Meeting). The day started off with wonderful cheese and crackers (thank you RuthAnn / Rich) that were topped off with a Greek medley of pimento cheese, humous, stuffed olives and dolma with warmed pita (wow - great Mike). As more folks came and joined in, more food, drinks and fun took place. Midge and AJ joined in, together with Joan ensuring glasses filled, wine raffle separated and dirty-Santa gifts piling up! Peter figured out that Chunk and Bunny would add a special Bouvier-touch to the party!
Ensuring that no-one could leave hungry, Kathi coordinated a spread reflecting both northern restraint and southern opulence. Plates white as Scandinavian snow lay crisp, rimmed in Florentine gold. While Swedish meatballs begged to share the plates with the rich southern Italian pasta laced with meat and cheese. Salad, warm bread all set ones dish balanced in elegance with warmth.
Deserts? Lisa made sure the holiday spirit continued with home-made holiday cookies that were rustic, aromatic treats—deeply brown in color (perhaps from molasses or brown sugar). They were softly crisp at the edges, chewy in the center, and carried a quiet warmth: butter, spice, and earthiness. For contrast, Toshiko provided individual fruit-topped cheesecakes with rich cream, each arrived like small celebrations: pale, velvety rounds of cheese filling resting on buttery bases, their surfaces crowned with jewel-bright fruit. Each bite balancing lush richness with clean, refreshing brightness.
A feast from beginning to desserts that lingered—indulgent yet lifted, meant to be savored slowly, spoon by spoon.
Great Times - Great Fun - culminating with a Wine Draw - Basket Raffle and the club's infamous DIRTY SANTA to top the day off.
