Can it be—40 years?
But to recall how it all began, we need to go back even farther than 40 years.
In 1961 our family spent a year in Akron, Pa . Robert was on sabbatical and traveling to set up the Teachers Abroad Program (TAP). I was there with five children—age six months to 4th grade.
Mustard Seed Café, 562 N. Main St., Bluffton, is open 5:00-8:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings with a full menu which includes 7 appetizers, 8 main course items, soups, salads and house-baked desserts.
In addition to the regular menu, the May 2 & 3 features celebrate Cinco de Mayo:
Entre: Pork Belly Tacos with Jicama Citrus Slaw, Avocado and Black Bans & Rice Dessert: Margarita crepe cake Beer: original Mexican beer started in 1899 – Sol Beer
NEWS FROM JEANNE:
We are working on some new ideas and will be opening a few evenings during the week. We also have a Hungarian meal coming up in the middle of May with a guest chef from Hungary to prepare the meal.
Our Italian festival is also being planned and will be advertised soon.
