NewBridge Culinary Corner
Save the date and dust off your dancing shoes because “The King” is coming!!! The dining team, in collaboration with the community life team, is planning a very special dining and entertainment event on Thursday February 12th from 5pm to 7pm. We have two special themed menus, including a Vegas themed prix-fixe dinner in Centro (pre-register on the dining website). The three coursed meal will include a choice of three menus including wine pairings for each course. Visit the upcoming events page on the dining website to register prior to the deadline of Friday February 6th. (The regular dinner menu in Centro will be available for to go only on this evening)
A buffet option fit for the “The King” in Nosh (first come, first served). All of this will be followed by a concert by Elvis himself (or rather a reasonable facsimile) in Great Meadow Hall. Please visit the upcoming events page on the dining website for more details including menus and registration details for the prix-fixe menu.
On Wednesday Night in Nosh, we are revisiting our “Fish Night” ……. Before Covid the Nosh team would sauté all different types of fish in Nosh, in front of residents to enjoy! Next Wednesday February 11 our chefs will be cooking up some Stripe Bass and Mahi Mahi. The Nosh team hope to see you there like the good old days……
We hope you have had a chance to try the new Nosh lunch menu rolled out this on Monday January 26th. We look forward to rolling out the new Centro menu on Monday February 23rd.
We have added a Kosher steak (rib-eye) to the monthly spend down freezer inventory in the store. As a reminder, the freezer is a supplemental way to use leftover dining credits throughout the month and the items are subject to availability. We ask that you adhere to the daily spending limit in fairness to all and recommend not waiting for the last day of the month to purchase.
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.
