May 2023
We continue to meet at the Erie Yacht Club. We will be in the lower level dining area for the next few meetings. Meetings begin at 6:00 pm with a social hour and dinner, followed by our program/speaker.Our Dinner Menu:
Our dinner will be a choice of two entrees: MIXIOTES DE POLLO CON NOPALES: Chicken thighs with tender cactus, onions, carrots, celery, sun dry tomatoes and small slice of jalapeno pepper cooked in a parchment paper pouch. VERY MILD not spicy; or MIXIOTES DE CORDERO CON NOPALES: New Zealand Lamb (shanks or small chops, very lean meat) with tender cactus, onions, carrots and baby potatoes with ancho/guajillo sauce cooked in a parchment paper pouch. MILD not spicy. In Mexico the mixiotes are cooked in cactus leaves but here the paper will do the trick. This time we need people's choices because we are going to be serving PLATED dinners at the table. These meals are very easy to serve and remain warm. As usual dinner includes: Tossed salad with dry Fruit, walnuts, cucumbers and tomatoes. Dressings, Rolls & Butter. Ye Ole Sweet Shoppe Cake and coffee.Our Guest Speaker:
