What's Cookin'

by Chef Jeremy Melusky

Hello everyone,

February truly was a wild month for us! Due to a record-breaking snowstorm, we had to close our doors for an unprecedented three days, and with the federal holiday, it amounted to a total of four days closed this month. Even with these challenges, we still managed to serve an impressive 935 meals.

I am excited to announce a new addition to our team: Mike Schoaf. Mike is a seasoned chef and an experienced kitchen manager who brings with him a love of hiking and camping. He has already worked alongside myself, Marianne, and our director Wendy, and we all agree that he will be a tremendous asset to our team.

Chef Jeremy's Short Ribs Recipe

This month, I want to share with you a recipe that my family really loves. Many people ask me about it—my short ribs. This recipe doubles easily if you need to make a larger batch.

Enjoy!

Jeremy

Details to be announced.

At TacT, our commitment to providing nourishing meals extends well beyond the delicious, nutritious meals we serve; we are equally dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment where our patrons can truly enjoy their dining experience. Our recent facility upgrades include:

• New doors and ring cameras to allow us to prepare our meals in the basement kitchen without worry of missing important visitors to our facility.
• Alexa is also assisting in the kitchen with her never ending advice and integration with the cameras.
• New lights that brighten our dining room, stage and kitchen.
• New handicap ramp is almost completed, more to come.

We believe that a comforting atmosphere enhances not only the meal but the entire experience, making everyone feel valued and at home. So come on in, enjoy a hearty meal, and bask in the warmth of a place designed with you in mind—after all, who says fighting food insecurity can’t come with a little fun and flair?

Back by popular demand! The children's play table has been set up and is ready to be used at lunch and during Community Dinners.
