We heard tremendous feedback regarding the services and dinner. In addition to the gratitude to our culinary team, we appreciate all the support from housekeeping, community life and Rabbi Judi and her team that helped make it all possible. L’shanah tovah. The culinary team is planning an update to the Centro dinner menu on Monday, September 28. While not a full menu change, there will be a number of current menu items that will be replaced by new menu items based on feedback and sales reports of what is not being enjoyed or being ordered on a regular basis. There will be a brief summary of what is going away and what is being added on next week’s zoom chat and in the Friday, September 25 weekly packet. The new revised menu will be available and distributed in that communication as well. We are looking forward to the change and are excited to present new items for you to enjoy. Menus and operational information for Erev Yom Kippur Sunday, September 20, and Break the Fast Monday, September 21, are posted on the High Holiday page of the dining website. Nosh and Great Meadow Hall (for break the fast) are open seating on a first come, first served basis. No reservations or pre-order are required for either night in Nosh or Great Meadow Hall. Centro will accept reservations for both nights starting one week prior. Reservations can be made through open table, on the dining website or by contacting Centro directly. The next Centro Sunday brunch will take place on Sunday, September 27, and reservations will open starting one week prior. The menu will be posted on the dining website soon and included in a future weekly packet prior to the brunch. As always, if you have any questions regarding an upcoming dining event, please contact Chelsea, Josh or another member of the dining leadership team. Contact information can be found on the community app or on the contact resources page of the dining website. |

Resident Recipe Corner:
In a chance hallway discussion, Mary Rosenfield and Mark Blazejewski started discussing baking, as Mark enjoys baking some of his grandmother’s recipes in his spare time. Mary mentioned several items that she used to bake and he asked if she would share the recipes. She was more than happy to share, and brought him her lemon bread recipe.
At the next chance Mark had, he gave it an attempt and brought in the bread for Mary to try, critique and hopefully enjoy. She said his first batch was good, but she told him to not hold back on using more lemon. So, in his second attempt, Mark didn’t spare the use of the lemon and again brought some cake in for Mary to sample. Mary said this one was much better, so now Mark passed the test (finally), and he plans to keep this recipe in his regular rotation. We are all so happy that Mary was willing to share the recipe, and we invite you to try it and let Mary know how it went.
