Friday night we went to Applebee's (why you ask?) with the Wisners and Danny BECAUSE if you ate there on Friday night and you gave in a flyer to the waiter, Forest Hills High School sports programs receive 10% of your food bill. That's why!
Saturday night, we went to Joe and Denise's. It is THE best place to eat in Forest Hills. Denise made: roasted peppers, salmon marinated in Olive oil and fennel, Greek salad, broccoli rabe and paella valenciana. She also served mixed olives, mozzerella, bread, crackers and 3 cheeses: Ciao Angelo (our favorite-an aged Gouda), a Rembrandt-type aged Gouda and provolone. I hope I didn't leave anything out. Monica brought apple cobbler (WAY yummy) and chocolate chip cookies. She is a great baker! We all had a lot of fun!
Today, Michael and I moved the million pound TV back into the living room so he could watch the Jet game. We had lunch (D'Angelo's pizza, salad and wings) and I fell asleep. But the Jets won, so that's good :)
Tomorrow Euro Floors is coming back for what was SUPPOSED to be the end of the ordeal. But NO. They miscalculated the amount of wood we needed and had to order more on Friday. BUT, it won't come in until Wednesday. SO...hopefully, they will come back and finish on Thursday. Yes, it's one week extra of sleeping on the mattress on the living room floor. Tomorrow, the entire apartment and about 3/4 of our bedroom will be done, just not complete enough to move everything back in it's proper place. Just enough out of whack to make me crazy (er).
And, as my friend Marc used to say: So it goes!

Today, Tuesday
On Saturday, Michael and I went to Ethan's Bar Mitzvah. The party was at Burton and Doyle Steakhouse. The food was really good. During cocktails JUMBO shrimp, baby lamb chops, tuna tartare, crab cakes and chicken on skewers were passed on trays. Sushi was presented in giant boats set on the bar. Todd Wolfe (and his band) played. They were great as always. Dinner was your choice of filet mignon, grilled salmon (I had mine nearly raw-yummy), chicken (I can't remember how it was prepared, and I don't think anyone ordered it-steakhouse-remember) and grilled marinated skirt steak (Michael thought it was great). All accompanied by potatoes (didn't eat them) and creamed spinach (could have eaten a gallon-but didn't). Dessert was fresh berries with real whipped cream and red velvet cupcakes. Coffee was excellent. Bloody Mary's really good too. Cabernet (my 3 glasses) was really good. DJ played, people danced, got henna tattoos, played blackjack (1 table set up with Lizzie as dealer), had photos taken and put on your choice of backgrounds, key chains, etc.
I came home and collapsed. Slept until 9:30pm. Woke up, ordered pizza and salad from D'Angelo's on 108th Street.
Sunday, I did laundry. I kept expecting it to rain, as I have for the past 7 days, since that's what the weather forecast has predicted. But they have been wrong most days, and it poured for a minute, then the sun came out. Michael was at the fields.
Dinner was marinated, grilled chicken cutlets and escarole with garlic and tomatoes (which became escarole, garlic, tomatoes and white beans for me).
Monday was rigatoni with broccoli, garlic and oil.
Today, Tuesday I am not cooking. It is the night of my last SLT and PA meetings (EVER). Not quite sure how to feel...happy, relieved, sad, nostalgic...all of the above. Jesse is graduating and I guess so am I.
Jesse's senior prom is Wednesday night at Chateau Briand On Old Country Road, then overnight at the "after-prom" house in the Hamptons. No school on Thursday for Brooklyn-Queens Day and senior barbecue on Friday. Monday 6/14 is the last full day of classes. Then Regents, then graduation, then GET A JOB for god's sake :)
Saturday will be our 27th anniversary of dating. Seems like yesterday at Charlotte Beach on Lake Ontario 6/12/83 when Michael and I first met. Maybe we'll be at the beach here.

A Few Days Late...
I have no idea where I've been. Please excuse the slacking off :)
Last week there was Risotto Bianco and rosemary lamb chops. Michael has photos he will place here later, but I can't remember the rest of the week. I was busy and stressed.
Yes, me stressed. I took the Department of Education Secretary Test. I drove to Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn, actually found a spot on the street. From arrival to conclusion, I was there about 2 hours. I had practiced my steno (actually my very own scribbled version) for 2 weeks prior.
Who dictates letters anymore? It's completely outdated (sounds just like the DOE). Anyway, it's not so easy to listen to someone speak at 70 words per minute, write it all down (no you cannot type it while they speak-would be MUCH easier), then type it back perfectly in business letter format using WordPad (a minor and limited version of Word).
Additionally, I had to copy a Teacher Observation Report (not difficult) and re-type a hand written letter with all corrections made (not difficult either).
Hopefully after the stress (certainly gone now), and the driving to Brooklyn, I can peacefully wait EIGHT weeks to find out if I passed. Then I only need to find a school with openings.
Friday night we went with the Wisners, Spilkes and Judy to Dirty Pierre's. They have very good mussels, and their fries were right on the money. Judy and I had Black Bean Soup and Goat Cheese Salad (Jill too). Lisa had portobello mushrooms with mozzarella, Lenny a burger and Michael had the Jerk Chicken. No idea what Evan had, sorry. My glass of Cabernet was GROSS and they won't make pitchers of Margaritas. But otherwise it was good and fun!
Saturday we opened our cabana at Silverpoint, came home and ordered pizza and salad from D'Angelo's on 108th Street. Yum!
Last night I made Rigatoni with sopressatta, calamata olives and basil in a milled tomato sauce. Michael and I liked it, Jesse did not. Can't win all the time....
Tonight will be pork chops with charred peppers and salad with Green Goddess dressing (who remembers that one)? It was my mom's favorite when we lived in California.
Don't know about Tuesday and Wednesday yet. But Thursday, Jesse and I are driving back to Ithaca so he can make his college advisor appointment on Friday morning. Then we'll drive back afterwards.
And Mother's Day with the Figliolias!
