The MSSF Culinary Group met May 4th for our last dinner until September. About 60 people greatly enjoyed a unique meal of upscale Mexican dishes in honor of Cinco de Mayo. We started with a delicious tequila tropical punch prepared by Sue Wingerson served with an array of appetizers that included mushroom preparations, several fresh guacamoles, vegetables, spreads, and many other goodies made by our diners. Then on to the main meal.
