From Captain Lynne Kurzweil:

On a balmy spring night, the MESH Cafe at Shomrei welcomed 17 grateful guests. Carolyn Lack and Barbara Lesser cooked up a delicious vegetarian meal which was met with applause as the menu was announced. First course was egg salad on spring mix garnished with olives and served with toasted, buttered baguette. Next was a beautiful multi vegetable salad including marinated green beans and tomatoes with an Italian dressing. Main course was Orli’s Vegetarian Chili with tortilla chips and sour cream. The meal concluded with homemade giant chocolate chip cookies and brownies made by our STOM students and served a la mode. Several ingredients to the meal were repurposed from kiddish, including hard boiled eggs and salad ingredients.
