5. Reciprocal Club of the Month Chances are that the Trojans will be facing the University of Texas Longhorns for the BCS National Championship Game at the Rose Bowl on Wednesday, January 4, 2006, so we thought we'd focus our attention this month on the University of Texas at Austin’s Campus Club. The Campus Club was founded in 1972 and features a staff with a combined 100 years of event and food service experience. The Club features a daily luncheon buffet, Monday through Friday, and has a lounge open for bar service. The Club also manages a wide array of special events through its catering office and provides university faculty and administrators with a relaxing venue in which to enjoy a meal, a meeting or conference. There are no overnight accommodations.

Recipe of the Month Not quite sure what to do with that left over turkey? This is a recipe that I developed for a restaurant I used to run in West Hollywood that is now closed. (Which, by the way, is no reflection on the food.) This is a a fast and easy dish if you have everything ready beforehand. You can substitute chicken if you prefer. Either way, it's a very satisfying meal. Serve with a nice salad and either a Sauvignon Blanc or Ironstone Obsession... TURKEY HASH SERVES 4 2 Cups Diced, Roasted Turkey Breast 1 Cup Cooked Basmati Rice 1/3 Cup Sliced Green Onions 1/4 Cup Grated Carrots 1/4 Cup Chicken Stock 2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream, Mixed With 2 Well Beaten Eggs 1 Tablespoon Grated Romano Cheese 1 Tablespoon olive Oil 1 Dash Tabasco Sauce
That about wraps it up for this issue. Be sure to say hi next time you're in. All of us here at the University Club wish you and your families a most wonderful holiday season and a very peaceful new year... |
