This dinner isn’t served until 10pm – 11pm, b/c that is when they have finished transporting all the giant puppets & floats from Powderhorn Park back to the Theatre. Probably half of the workers will have been outside [...]

Lots of lean & green dishes on offer this coming month!  The Green Tamale casserole this week was very green due to tomatillos, collards & spinach mixed into the black beans.
