The Rainier Club Guest Chef's Table Experience

When you love to cook like Rocke and I do, chances are you also love to eat, so it makes for a very special evening when you get to watch a master Chef like Bill Morris at work in the Rainier Club kitchen. Rocke and I enjoyed an incredible eleven course meal with wine parings all prepared by Chef Morris. Then to top the evening off, we savored some excellent Absinthe. Many thanks to Lisa and Dave Mayfield for sharing this wonderful venue with us.
The Rainier Club just added Absinthe to their venue--the long banned drink known for its hallucinogenic properties.  In moderation it is said to help promote sleep and pleasant dreams.  We chose to go with a milder version; although it was still definitely something to sip in small quantities.
