Cathi with Hostess Carol Anderson, and her daughter,
Molly Salazar |
Yesterday I attended the annual
Rainier Club Ladies' Holiday Luncheon as a guest of
Carol Anderson. We were greeted with Pomegranate Sparklers and gathered near the gigantic (roast-an-ox-size) fireplace in the Rainier Room before heading upstairs for the luncheon itself. As always, Chef
Bill Curtis, provided an inventive, interesting and flavorful lunch featuring
"Pomegranate Glazed Salmon with Chilean Carica Fruit "Salsa", Hearts of Palm, Brown Butter Potatoes, Gingered Thumbelina Carrots, and a Champagne-Chervil Sauce". The most unusual accompaniment on the entree plate was a small white, bulbous, tuber-looking vegetable called a "crone" which I have seen only at the
Rainier Club.

Arlene Wright, Kathie Price, Jan Rogers,
Carol Anderson, Molly Salazar, Susan Neumann |
Over lunch,
Susan Neumann entertained us with a few seasonal jokes and
Jan Sinegal with the story of the craft project she and her grandchildren are working on for Christmas. Remind me to tell you
Susan's "fireman" joke. Following lunch, we were entertained with holiday music by the
Snohomish County Children's Choir led by
Shelley Lagen. It was fun to watch
Shelley, with her big, animated smile leading the 14 festively dressed children in song. When we departed from the luncheon, we each took a little of the Christmas spirit with us.
