Our team for this first MESH of the year included Linda Ariel, Lou Hammerman, Lynne Kurzweil and me (Sarita Eisenberg).

We made our signature dish of barbeque chicken – each guest received 2 drumsticks with a generous side of roasted potatoes and a slice of bread. The meal also included a serving of cole slaw, fuit cup, cookies (left over from Selichot), and a bottle of water.

We cooked and packaged food for 50 guests in under 2 and a half hours; and then Lynne delivered all of the bags.

I want to thank the Fooderie in West Orange, who once again offered us a 25% discount on the chicken.

Sincerely,
Sarita
