ON THE COVER: Excitement builds for activities that foster friendship, fellowship, and pride among members. upcoming XXVII Party in The Parking Lot. Inset photo by Art Bronson President's Message

Dear Members, Welcome back to The Toledo Club! I hope each of you had a great August and took the opportunity to visit one of the many reciprocal clubs that extended their hospitality to Toledo Club members. I know that our weekly lunch groups such as the Nooners and the Foster Group went on the road and sampled several country clubs. Roger has covered the HVAC upgrade, but I want to extend a personal thank you to all the folks at GEM who did such a great job for us. Member Greg Steenrod and his team were a pleasure to work with in every way. Their professionalism and respect for the club building exceeded our expectations. Each month, a group of members makes a voluntary contribution to the club’s operations. Since some of them prefer to remain anonymous, I won’t list their names. However, I do want to say two things. First, a profound thank you to all members who think of the Club with their contributions of time, talent or treasure. All of you who love the Club and give extra make a huge difference. Second, I hope the fact that there are many who give and do what they can to make the Club a better place will inspire others to join a committee, call a friend to meet at the Club, or remember the Club in their estate planning. The Party in the Parking Lot on September 19, is shaping up to be a great success, with Mustang Sally providing the right way to catch more summer fun with a last night at the Bay. I have to confess that when we booked the date for this year’s PPL, I failed to notice that our son is getting married that weekend and his fiancé was not interested in moving the date. So Mary and I will be in Milwaukee. Party on for us! In closing, I promised our excellent masseuse Greta Mitchell that I would give her a shout-out in Topics. Her services are among the many extras available to club members and she can be reached at 419-381-8195 for an appointment. When I was suffering from too much snow shoveling this winter, Greta really helped me out.

WINE OF THE MONTH

CAKEBREAD CELLARS Napa Valley Chardonnay 2012 $38 By the bottle

WINE: The grapes come primarily from the valley’s cooler southern regions, which extend from Carneros to relatively warmer sites just north of the town of Napa. Blending fruit from diverse mesoclimates and soils results in a rich, ripe, elegantly structured Chardonnay that’s delicious on release and ages well. The grapes were handpicked at night, then pressed as whole clusters to preserve freshness and fermented in French oak barrels roger parker (88%) and stainless steel tanks (12%). General Manager 419-254-2988 Harvest NOTE: [email protected] The 2012 vintage was picture-perfect, with consistently mild summer weather free of rain and significant heat spikes. Grapes were harvested at precisely the right moment, capturing an optimal balance of ripe, concentrated fruit flavors and lively acidity. With ideal conditions, 2012 yielded a trove of outstanding wines, including this Chardonnay which ranks with the best that Cakebread Cellars has ever produced. TASTING NOTE: This bold and beautifully balanced wine shows great depth and breadth of flavor. Aromas of fragrant, slightly yeasty ripe pear, apple and guava have hints of honeysuckle, mineral and toasted oak. Flavors of concentrated pear, spiced apple and melon culminate in a long finish lifted by zesty spice and mineral notes. technical data: • APPELLATION: Napa Valley • PH: 3.45 • ACIDITY: 0.73 g/100 ml ABV: 14.2% • ABV: 14.2% • AGING: eight months on the lees in French oak barrels, 20% new • MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION: 16%

22 SEPTEMBER 2014 SEPTEMBER 2014 23 Cuisineat the club the crêpe A crêpe or crepe is a type of very thin pancake, usually made from wheat flour or buckwheat flour. The word is of French origin, deriving from the Latin crispa, meaning “curled.” While crêpes are often associated with Brittany, a region in the northwest of France, their consumption is widespread. Crêpes are served with a variety of fillings, from the most simple with only sugar to Flambéed crêpes Suzette or elaborate savory delights. Common savory fillings for crêpes are cheese, ham, and eggs, ratatouille, mushrooms, artichoke, and various meat products. The MICHAEL ROSENDAUL fillings are commonly added to the Executive Chef, center of the crêpe and served with 419-243-2200 Ext, 2149 the edges partially folded over the center.

Become a Fan of The Toledo Club! A version of a crêpe can be found all around the world. Not to say that it was copied, but more that it was a natural development of preparing food, similar to Polenta, porridge, grits… In Norwegian, crêpes are called Pannekake; in most German regions Pfannkuchen, and in Dutch, pannenkoeken. In Swedish, a crêpe is called pannkaka; in Danish, pandekager. In the Spanish regions of Galicia they’re called filloas and in Asturias they are called fayueles or frixuelos, In areas of central Europe, there is a thin pancake that is called Palatschinken or Omletten. In Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, there is a similar dish known as the blintz. In Argentina and Uruguay they are called panqueques and are often eaten with dulce de leche. In Mexico, crêpes are known as crepas and are typically served either as a sweet dessert when filled with cajeta (similar to dulce de leche), or as a savory dish when filled with Huitlacoche (corn smut). In South India, a crêpe made Basic Crepe Batter of fermented rice Ingredients • 3 large eggs • 1 cup all-purpose flour • 2 tbl unsalted butter, melted and cooled batter is called a dosa. • 1/2 cup plus 2 tbl water • 1/2 tsp salt In Western India, a • 1/2 cup milk crêpe made of gram Directions flour is called Pudlaa/ In a blender or food processor blend the flour, water, milk, eggs, butter and salt for 5 seconds.

Alternate Perspectives From

by Bruce Douglas and Rebecca Shope Sports Grill & Tavern Committee Co-Chairmen

I usually spend the first half of my Tavern article on digs directed toward& my co-chair Bruce. However, in the spirit of our September Tavern event—the Oak Room/Tavern Mixer – I thought it best to focus my attention on the individuals (who will rename nameless) that hold court at the round table situated in the Oak Room. For starters, it is our hope that the Oak Room/Tavern Mixer will somehow “bridge the gap” between our elders who sit at the round table and the younger generation who frequent the Tavern. It is our observation that the elders in the Oak Room appear to suffer from the age-old problem of “routine.” They are at the Oak Room at the same time every day. Nate and Dana syrek They sit at the same round table and many times in On a final note, I want to thank all who served as the same seat. They have seemingly forgotten how to guest bartenders during the months of June and place an order at the bar, and have come to rely solely July. Although the summer months tend to be slow on the ring of a bell. After spending an hour or so in for the Club, the Tavern was hopping, thanks to the Oak Room, they head home—rarely venturing the assistance, hard work, and dedication of these upstairs to join for Tavern festivities. individuals! Most exciting, we were able to raise If you are reading this column, then you have probably over $3,500 (the final number and winner will be spent some time in the Tavern.
