From Captain Lynne Kurzweil:

Another outstanding meal lovingly prepared by our preschool parents was enjoyed by 24 grateful guests this past Tuesday night. Once again, Bridget Placek planned and organized a delicious and nutritious repast beginning with Bean and Farro Soup and challah mini rolls by Sally Goodgold. Next was Salmon with Mustard and Dill Sauce by Bridget, Rice and Vegetable Pilaf by Blake Mccarten. Dessert was Grapes and Homemade Chocolate Mousse (secret ingredient was Greek yogurt, don’t tell!) by Fiona Graff. Granola bars were the takeaway.

When the menu was announced, applause erupted! This is the usual response at Shomrei’s MESH Cafe. From what I hear, this does not often happen at the other sites. They love, love, love our food and I’m sure the genuine joy we experience in planning, preparing and serving the meal has a lot to do with how it is received.

Thanks to Adrienne, Bonny and Joseph, who always make sure things run smoothly.

At the end of the evening, I was told that a guest wanted to speak with me. It turned out to be one of our regulars who wanted to let me know that the meal was outstanding and he so appreciates coming to Shomrei every week. As I’ve often said, we receive so much more than we give in doing this mitzvah.
