The Shomrei MESH Cafe fed 25 hungry guests Tuesday night.  Chef Arden Epstein presided in the kitchen, along with her friend Meredith Barrentine.  First up were savory zucchini muffins served with grape tomatoes.  The main course was baked cod with herbs, roasted broccoli, mashed sweet potatoes, and cole slaw made by Aileen Grossberg.  Rolls were served on the side.  The meal was capped off with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.  All guests received a to-go bag with a roll, granola bars, and clementines.

The atmosphere was congenial and, as always, the guests were very appreciative and complimentary. Our helpers included students Ray B., Amalia N., Siona E., Elisa F., Louis F., Isaac S., and MESH staffers Bonny and Adrienne.  aa800347-7812-4311-b251-2d32f51766f8
