Odds and Ends Tuesday 4 # 8
3. We are going into New York City for the weekend. Where do you want to go? I'd take my own personal Jackie tour. My all-time idol spent most of her adult life in New York, and I'd love to visit her haunts.
• 1040 Fifth Avenue (her home for decades)
• The Russian Tea Room (her favorite lunch spot)
• Grand Central Station (which she saved from the wrecking ball)
• The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir in Central Park (where she jogged)
• A Broadway show and a late dinner at P. J. Clarke's (her regular night out)
4. You are going to night school. They offer courses in writing short stories, painting, piano or guitar lessons, simple home repairs, baking, and gardening. Which do you pick (or make up one of your own) and why? Short story writing. I write for a living, but I deliver on assignments and it's never fiction. It would be fun to use different muscles.
1. You're having a lovely dinner party for friends and family. What will you serve for appetizers, main course and dessert? I'm never having a "lovely dinner party." I'm simply not that girl. But last time I had people over for dinner, I served green salad, two different types of pizza (plain cheese or sausage), and yellow cake with vanilla frosting.
2. Snow storm! You've got house guests and you're all stuck
inside for the night. What do you prepare for dinner. Will you watch a
movie? Which? The menu would be soup (one that sticks to your ribs, like beef barley or New England clam chowder) and salad. Rather than a movie, I think I'd take this opportunity to play Monopoly or Scrabble.
