Eat, Drink & Be Merry
Where do you get your inspiration for holiday entertaining? For me, I always try to consider who I am entertaining. (Don't try to improve on your Mother-In-Law's deviled eggs) Backtrack to when you were a child, what was your favorite thing about the holiday season, and what was a typical holiday meal like growing up? One of my favorite memories is when my grandfather would make his sherry turkey gravy for Thanksgiving. I tried numerous times to replicate it but could never get the recipe down. To this day, the true recipe remains a secret. Fast forward to today, how has that changed, and do classic or new recipes prevail? I prefer the classic dishes. I am a big fan of the traditions and sharing them with generations. I also enjoy adding new touches to these dishes to keeping them fresh and different. Favorite Thanksgiving dish: My favorite dish is dark meat turkey. I find this more flavorful. This works especially well in my household since my family prefers white meat turkey and this leaves more for me to enjoy! Secret to your turkey’s success: Brine the bird! Cooking with a fresh turkey that is brined is simply the best! Go-to celebratory wine, beer or spirit: Definitely Spirit. I am a bourbon fan.

Kathleen Brian Private Events Director Ext. 2413
Ingredients 1 butternut squash (about 2 lb) 2 sweet potato (about 200g each) 3 tbsp avocado oil (or other neutral oil) pinch sea salt pinch pepper 1 white onion (about 200g) 3 cloves garlic 1 tbsp avocado oil (or other neutral oil) 4 cups vegetable broth, plus more if needed 1 tbsp curry powder 1/2 tsp cumin 1/4 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp ginger 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional) 1 can coconut milk (400 ml/14 fl oz. can) 1/3 cup peanuts, for garnish (optional) Directions Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Peel and chop the butternut squash into small bite-sized cubes. Chop sweet potato into bite-sized cubes. Add veg to a baking dish and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle generously with sea salt and pepper and cook for 30 minutes, or until cooked through. Dice onion and garlic and add to a large pot with pinch sea salt. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil and bring to medium-low heat. Simmer on low, until onion turns translucent in color (10 mins). Add roasted squash and sweet potato and pour in vegetable broth. Bring to simmer and add spices: curry powder, cumin, paprika, ginger, and cayenne. Cook for another 10-20 minutes. Puree soup with a hand mixer, or transfer to blender to puree in batches. (Optional to add splashes more broth if needed for blending if it's too thick, but I didn't need to). Pour canned coconut milk into pureed soup to finish, stir to combine. In a skillet toast peanuts on medium-high heat until browned and fragrant (approx. 5 minutes). Make kale chips for garnish (recipe link in notes. Takes 5 minutes). Pour soup into bowls and top with roasted peanuts and kale chips. Season with sea salt and pepper.

Fall is in the air! With the college football season well underway, new seasonal flavors on the horizon and our favorite festivities to come, there is no better time to be a Member. As the days become shorter, and the morning air cooler, we look forward to welcoming the magic of the holiday season together. And make no mistake, this year will be special. We will gather in celebration, with purpose and intention to create memorable experiences. If you’re looking to get involved, now is the time! Now more than ever, Member input is key for building purposeful programming in this era of work-life blur. This fall one of our top priorities is to provide you with plenty of reasons to gather, give thanks and celebrate. Be sure to stay abreast of Club events by tuning into our weekly email, downloading our mobile app, and regularly visiting our new website. Don't miss the opportunities to connect with fellow Members an invite friends and family to share in the Club experience. In the spirit of giving, Skyline Club has opened its doors to the community since 2007 for our annual Charity Classic; one of the largest golf and dining charity events in the world, collectively raising more than $30 million since its inception. This year, we were honored to support Focus: Hope and the ClubCorp Employee Partner Care Foundation for a spirited golf outing at TPC on Thursday, September 30. Proceeds are still being tallied, but we anticipate having raised over $20,000. If you enjoy community involvement, join us on Tuesday, November 30 (Giving Tuesday), as we reunite once again for our fall 'Shine Day'. With countless reasons to celebrate this season, know that we’re here to help. Treat your staff and family to a holiday gathering at the Club or consider ordering our popular Anytime Entertaining platters. Contact our catering sales director, Kathy Brian, for assistance. Lastly, as we move into the last quarter of 2021, I simply want to say thank you. Your continued support, engagement, and the strong relationships you share with our team are what make our Club so special, and this has never been more evident over the past 2 years. We are humbled to serve and look forward to your next visit. With thanks and gratitude, Richelle Tragge General Manager
