A day after the Lawrence L. Frank Center reopened due to the Eaton Fire, our ExploreAbility participant groups cooked up some delicious breakfast -- Eggs Benedict. Stephanie Ko is pictured after making her eggs.
The image shows a woman wearing glasses and a red sweater with a white collar, standing in a kitchen-like environment. On the countertop in front of her are two plates of food, each containing variations of eggs Benedict, with toppings like hollandaise sauce and garnishes. Recycling bins with labels and a microwave can be seen in the background. Let me know if you’d like help crafting an accessible description for social media!
