Catering

Since we're being cheap this year, one giant pot of black beans, Mexican Styles, roughly following this recipe, should be sufficient for three meals; enchiladas, refried bean tortillas, and breakfast burritos. For another dinner we can do stew with dumplings, parsnip mash and peas.

See the menu for suggestions from the email.
