Hello Terrace Alumni!

As we approach that magical time of year when faeries come to 62 Washington Road and
inhabit the trees of Terrace Club, my heart fills with joy and anticipation. I can foresee them
sprinkling their dust across the lawn and magical tents beginning to appear in our
yard. And I begin to remember years ago in days of old, when magic filled the
air (for our Zeppelin fans). I won’t ramble on any further…it’s Reunions
time!!!

I look forward to seeing the scores of Terrans that I have shared our
House with over the past decade, and of course, the Terrans from years
before my arrival…those who laid the foundation for our modest little Shangri
La. We have a full slate of musical acts for your enjoyment as well as our
customary assortment of culinary treats. And since the groundhog
(or some other creature) has emerged from
under the deck and seen his shadow, the
grog will indeed flow for those magical
3 days in May.

As I reflect on the year, I am proud to

report that we appear to have fully
recovered from the Pandemic
Era and hopefully will never
have to return to such dark
times. Our membership
has risen back to our
customary level and the
vibe is most certainly
back. We have more
musician members than
we have had in quite
some time (and that
is saying a lot given
our rich history of
music makers). This
has enabled us to
“hire” many of our own
members to perform on Tap
Nights and has kept our Baby
Grand rocking in the Willard Room.
 Our food has been second to none on campus. Chef Manuel and the legendary Chef Gladys
continue to concoct feast after feast for our hungry Terrans. Whether it be the pairing of ethnic
food with fine beer on Wednesdays or fresh catch of the day on Thursdays or our staple of
Mexican Night on Fridays, they continue to consistently provide a variety of foods that are not
only delicious but conscious of our vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, sugar free members.

Lastly, Terrace continues to be at the forefront of providing support for members with financial
issues, local families dealing with food insecurities, and community organizations that strive to
make the world a better place. This year we provided over $80k in grants to our members who
could not have otherwise joined. We have continued our relationship with Share My Meals and
have donated over $6k worth of meals to families in need in the Princeton area. We have hosted
groups of students from Project Rousseau out of NYC which assists students seeking higher
education who come from families with an
average income less than $12k, and we
participated in Truckfest to benefit local
food insecurity organizations.

These efforts, especially our financial aid

program, combined with the annual cost
of Reunions, require some additional
funding that we hope to offset with
alumni donations. With that in mind,
we will be asking for a suggested $20 per
person donation (you can give more if you
want!) when you register for your Reunions
wristband this year through Eventbrite –
just follow the link https://reunions2023.
eventbrite.com/.

All the Food in the World to all of you and I

look forward to seeing you at Reunions!!!

From the house

Terrace in spring, featuring our cherry blossom tree

One of our new green thumbs, Jo, with all of our new
spring plants! We gathered dozens of members for an event
celebrating the spring and planted these perennials all
around the club. One of our favorite additions is berry
bushes by the back fence, so hopefully future generations
of Terrans will be able to snack on fresh blackberries and
raspberries!

We’ve also been working to revive Terrace’s fresh herb

supply by planting parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, and
whatever else Simon and his friend with the weird name used
to sing about.
 Krebs and Son Tree Planting Services
giving our new tree a nice home.

We planted a white dogwood tree and

placed a commemorative stone in loving
memory of Misrach Ewuntie.
Some of Terrace’s recent activism efforts have been to
support transgender and gender non-conforming students in
the club and on campus in the wake of recent legislation.
Our trans officers and members have come together to make
signs, spread stickers of trans rights organizations, and
support each other.
We’ve also been working on improving sustainability in the
club and across the Street.

Last year, former president Alex M. and former

sustainability chair (now social chair) Jackie formed
the Inter-Club Sustainability Council, which works to
spread sustainability practices like our composting, meal
donations, and use of reusable cups to other eating clubs.

Within the club, we’ve also been working on switching to

reusable to-go coffee cups, and we’ve created a new compost
information mural in the servery, painted by talented
artist and current Sage, Magnolia Wilkinson. Come check it
out at Reunions!

My favorite color definitely varies with my moods, so if you’d like to know my current
color please send me a mood ring to 62 Washington Rd and I will get back to you in
3-5 business days. Lately, my favorite spot in Terrace has been the hammocks in the
backyard. The weather has been warm and the cherry blossoms blooming, and I have
spent many an afternoon there melting into the Mother’s soft embrace. My favorite
mural, however, is the octopus in the Balls Room. I would love to know more about it.
Does it have a name? An origin story? If you are at Reunions and have any information
please let me know.
Here’s a link to songs I like to listen to around the club if anyone’s
interested. Some of my favorite artists recently have included Sammy Rae,
Nicotine, Ginger Root, and of Montreal.

I love WATERMELON. yumyumyum.

If Steve was an animal I think he would be a capybara. specifically this one. They are social, live
in large groups, they are a non-threatened population, they’re pretty chill, they’re highly vocal,
and they look huggable but a little grumpy at the same time. Plus, the name Capybara comes
from the Tupi people of the Amazon, whose native language dubs them ka’pii gwara, which is
translated as “master of the grasses.”
hello! my name is sam, and i’m the current music chair at tfc :)
i’m an LA girl at heart, and also in practice! i’m the world’s worst
english major (quoth a member: “wait you’re an english major?
i’ve literally never seen you with a book”) and also pursuing a
certificate in music composition (which most people — myself
included — often mistake for my “major”)
my favorite color is pink, but i am most often
spotted wearing all black because i never
outgrew my emo phase. most of the time i can
she/her be found chilling in the TV room (specifically
the long couch in the back left corner which i
affectionately refer to as “the sleeping couch”),
but my favorite furniture in the house is either
the solarium swing or the coffin in the tap
room. i am also a big big fan of the pregnant cat
mural in the tap room (she’s mothering!).
a little more about my music taste:
i relish the cringe! the last song i
willingly listened to was “jersey”
by mayday parade, and i am only
a little ashamed to say it! my top 5

SAM
spotify artists this year were david
bowie, the cure, waterparks, my
chemical romance, and paramore
(in that order). other than emo and
Musical onion variety goth music, i’m also pretty into
English metal (especially prog metal!) and
i’ll honestly listen to whatever’s on.
Los Angeles, CA here’s my most recent “obsessions of
the month” playlist, which is eclectic
but honest. also, stream my band’s
single (i play lead guitar) (NOT for the
easily offended!!!).

if you see me around at reunions please come say hi, i love new friends! also for
no particular reason at all, my favorite summer beverage is black tea with oat
milk and boba from junbi not that anyone needs that information!

music,
sammy :)

 LEMON VERBENA
DRIZZLE CAKE
By Jenny Marlow
Spring is here and summer is on its way, babies! One of my favorite things
about this in-between season is planting and tending to my herb garden – and
my pride and joy is my lemon verbena. It’s a bright, leafy plant that’s crazy-easy
to grow; just plop it in a plot or a pot, water it regularly, and watch it proliferate
over the course of the summer season. It makes a delicious addition to an
entire range of cocktails – and I highly recommend trying a few – but today,
we’re going to bake with it.

What’s that you say – plants in my cake??? My luvvies, I am here to tell you
YES. This summertime tea cake is fresh as hell and so simple that even a total
baking newb can handle it. Here’s everything you’ll need:

INGREDIENTS DIRECTIONS
For the cake: 1. Pre-heat your oven to 350°.

¼ cup fresh lemon verbena leaves, chopped 2. Using a hand mixer, cream the verbena leaves and the
(+ you’ll need a few more for the glaze) butter until fluffy.
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar (you’ll need more for the glaze) 3. Add the sugar, eggs, and milk and beat well.
2 eggs
½ cup milk 4. Add the remaining ingredients and beat until blended.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder 5. Grease a loaf pan and fold in your batter.
A pinch of salt
Zest of 1 lemon (save your zested lemon – you’re 5. Bake for 30-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the
going to use the juice for the glaze!) center comes out clean.
¼ cup pine nuts (optional)
6. In the meantime, make your glaze: Combine the
For the glaze: ingredients together and, using a fork, mix by hand until
blended.
2 tablespoons fresh lemon verbena leaves,
chopped 7. When your cake is done, leave it in the pan and pour the
½ cup sugar glaze over it while it’s still hot – the glaze will drizzle down
Juice of 1 lemon through the cake as it cools, infusing it with the freshest, mad-
summery, lemony flavor.

8. Let the cake sit until completely cool, remove it from the
pan, and serve – maybe with a lemon verbena cocktail, just
saying.

Look at you, you tiny herbalist! I knew you could do it :)
