31 ST

ANNUAL

DREAM

GALA

An unforgettable evening to support JDRF Seattle By Jillian Chandler

March 07

Guests will be dazzled at the Circus of Dreams, as JDRF Seattle Guild presents its 31st annual Dream Gala. Set for Saturday, March 7, the evening offers an experience unlike any other while benefiting an important cause.

JDRF serves as an advocate and educational support for the type 1 diabetes community, with staff and volunteers found across the United States. The organization has five international affiliates, funds research in more than 20 countries and supports insulin-aid efforts in the U.S. and around the world.

You can make a difference in helping the fight against type 1 diabetes by purchasing your ticket to attend the gala, which raises vital funds for type 1 diabetes research. Attendees will enjoy a dazzling evening of gourmet dinner, exceptional auction packages, touching stories and electrifying performances!

Auction items include once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. You and 23 friends can relish in an incredible football experience with some of the best views in CenturyLink Field from your suite while rallying the Seahawks to victory! Or how does a beautiful, exotic 14-day Vietnam and Thailand voyage sound? Don’t miss your chance to bid on these incredible auction packages. Held at the Sheraton Grand Seattle, proceeds from the event will benefit JDRF’s mission to improve lives today and tomorrow by accelerating life-changing breakthroughs to prevent, treat and cure type 1 diabetes.

This year’s honorees are Jay and Terry Ackley and K&H Printing for their significant and inspiring contributions to further the JDRF mission. They will be receiving the Living & Giving Award (presented annually to an organization, business, family or individual who has made significant and inspiring contributions to JDRF), at this year’s Dream Gala.

Tickets to attend this exclusive fundraising event can be purchased online. Cost is $500 for an individual ticket; $1,600 for a guild supporter (preferred seating for two guests, invitation to private pregala reception and recognition in the gala print catalog); $5,000 for a full table with seating for 10 guests. Tickets are available at https:// buff.ly/3aXr64L

Recipe & Photo Courtesy of Stephanie Lynn Gertrude Brown Yield: One 9x13” Pan

INGREDIENTS:

½ cup melted butter 1 medium-size loaf white bread or Brioche ½ cup raisins or dried fruit ¼ cup Irish whiskey 1 cup heavy cream 1 ½ cups whole milk 8 oz. cream cheese 4 eggs ½ cup granulated sugar ½ tsp. cinnamon

METHOD:

• First things first, your raisins need to get drunk. Place the raisins in a bowl and add the whiskey to cover them. Let sit at room temperature for at least two hours, but the longer the better. • Preheat your oven to 325°F. While the oven is heating up, use melted butter to coat a 9x13” baking dish. • Cut the bread loaf in 1-inch thick slices, and generously butter both sides. Place bread in the prepared pan by either cutting into cubes, or for a bit of a fancier approach, shingle in the whole slices in a single layer by overlapping the slices. • Place the pan into the oven for 7 to 10 minutes to lightly toast the bread. • While your bread is getting a glorious tan, place the milk, heavy cream and cream cheese into a saucepan. Slowly stir over a medium-low heat until the cream cheese is melted and combined. • In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and cinnamon. Once the milk mixture is ready, slowly add to egg mixture a little at a time, mixing well before each new addition. • Once the milk and egg mixtures are fully combined, pour two-thirds of the amount into the pan over the toasted bread. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard mixture. • Remember those tipsy raisins? Strain out the raisins, being sure to save the whiskey. Sprinkle the raisins over the bread and custard mixture. • Pour remaining custard over the raisins. Place pan into the oven and cook for 1 hour until the custard is puffed up and set. The top should be slightly browned as well. • Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

TO SERVE:

Top with fresh whipped cream or use the drunken raisin whiskey to make a delicious caramel sauce!
