Oh what a week kids!
Michael and I ended our relationship over dinner at DISH on 8th Avenue on Monday night. We discussed future plans and decided that we didn't exactly fit into what the other has planned for the future. Glad we figured it out sooner than later.
Monday and Tuesday were my two days of CONFLICT NEGOTIATION classes on the Lower East Side. A class that the Department of Education (TWEED) is paying for me to attend. I am hoping to roll out the program back at PS/MS 31 in the Fall of 2008. Working with the Social Studies Curriculum to see when I can push into the classroom.
Wednesday brought lunch with Rebecca (BEX IN THE CITY) at Parea on East 20th Street between Broadway and Park Avenue South. Yummy treats. We started out with a bottle of Restino-Greek white wine-and were presented with delicious seasoned olive oil, mixture of olives-delicious-, and a firm Greek cheese accompanied by some toasted pieces of bread. Our first course of the $19.95 Prix Fixe we had Grilled Calamari with Lemon and Herbs and Spanakpoita, followed by a Crab Burger with seasoned french fries and Mousakka-traditional Greek dish. Dessert was Baklava-did I spell that correctly.
Then we were off to Punch to see my buddy Matt Corbett who is the executive chef there and holding his own in a neighborhood that is full of new and very successful restaurants. He treated us to an air dried piece of beer rubbed with extra virgin olive oil, topped with black truffles, Caesar vinaigrette, artichokes and tomato marmalade. YUM-O! A few glasses of Malbec and then I was ready to go.
