This week we had two phases to our meal prep. On Monday, Shirley Grill met Jordan in the kitchen after school.

Fern Heinig planned the meal and provided a shopping list. Lou Hammerman and Sarita Eisenberg were going to do the shopping, but the Shomrei office staff offered to take care of it.

Here’s Shirley’s report: Teen Monday MESH!

Jordan was solo this week—the others had conflicts. She worked hard to make up for their absence!

Below is the couscous which she created solo—stirred, chopped, and filled 54 cups with delicious vegetable laden couscous. I worked on the chicken which was marinated in a sweet and sour marinade—thus the empty containers of soy sauce and maple syrup.

Full menu:
Roasted chicken parts
Couscous with an array of colorful vegetables (red pepper, cuke, garbanzo beans olives)
Dinner roll
Oreos and home baked cookies
Water

Sarita and Lou joined Lesley Billet on Tuesday afternoon to finish.

Here’s Leslie’s report:

Team 1 left Team 2 in great shape. We finished completing a few bags with all the items, heated up chicken and veggie burgers, and headed out the door.

Leslie delivered the meals to MESH at Union Baptist Church on Midland Ave.
