From Captain Alex Kent:
Shomrei’s MESH Cafe served 26 guests Tuesday night, including 5 young children.
Chef Aileen Grossberg prepared an extremely colorful first course salad medley made up of green bean salad, carrot salad, and purple cole slaw, part of it courtesy of the Lasiter Bar Mitzvah, along with multi grain bread. Next up was potato soup with home made potato chips as a garnish. The main course was cod with a lime, chile, cumin, butter sauce (yum!), quinoa with peppers, beets, and onion (also courtesy of the Lasiter family) and asparagus with peppers and purple onion. For dessert there were homemade brownies topped with ice cream (found in the Shomrei freezer), chocolate sauce and strawberries.
Guests were also all given a to go bag with a granola bar and a banana. The group was very grateful and appreciative as always, and the menu received a round of applause.
Manning the stove, sink, food cart, chopping block, and serving station was a robust crew of students of all ages: Teddy, Shannon, Lexie, Amalia, Gus, Elisa, and Matt. Cheri Deshe, a former Shomrei member who read about our Tuesday night Cafe on the MESH website, was also on hand as an all around helper. Adrienne and Bonny from MESH rounded out the group. It was a smooth and pleasant evening. Thanks to all who volunteered!
