MESH Report Mar 28, 2023

Our MESH guests were once again treated to a meal of barbeque chicken and roasted potatoes, this time with a side of chopped salad. For the three vegetarian meals, we warmed up leftover mini-quiches and cheese kugel from last Saturday’s kiddush.  

Sarita Eisenberg and Lou Hammerman did their usual shopping expedition to Season’s (for chicken), Costco (for potatoes and oranges) and Shoprite (for other ingredients). This time, however, we first raided our pantry for the bbq sauce ingredients as part of our Pre-Passover pantry clear out.

The cooking and packaging took just over two hours in the Shomrei kitchen. Linda Ariel compiled the chicken. Lou prepared the potatoes. Susan Rosenblatt and Sarita chopped lettuce and tomatoes and also added shredded carrots and corn kernels to the leftover chopped salad from kiddush. Teen Jaden packaged up leftover hamantaschen and bread as well as counting out containers, bags and utensils. Lou did the clean up.

The bags were ready and waiting for Lynne Kurzweil when she arrived at 4:45pm to transport the meals over to the MESH site.
