Our most faithful volunteer, Susan Rosenblatt, braved Tuesday’s winds on her walk to Shomrei and our head cook, Stuart Greene, spent his day off preparing a hearty meal of turkey chlli with beans, rice and sautéed kale.
Aileen Grossberg provided the starter of hummus with pita crackers and carrots as well as a dessert pastry.
Stuart rounded out the meal with rolls and clementines.

Fern prepared her classic Baked Salmon with a lemon/dill sauce, sliced lemons, Green Beans, Mediterranean CousCous Salad, Tangerines, Rolls, Black and White Cookies, Breakfast Bar and, of course, a water bottle.
