I did learn though that the cough which I've had for nearly 3 months now is from allergies; I was convinced I had become allergic to my job because I only coughed when I was at work, but it must have been because the maître d's podium is right below an open and dusty stairwell...
In addition to the previous tidbits of wisdom I've picked up along the way are a few more that I've recently discovered. Here they are, in order of happenstance:
>$50 for 2 pizzas and 1 cup of wine at Motorino was not really worth it
>The Slipper Room can be fun and so was Home Sweet Home
>Campari & Ginger is as good a drink as I'd remembered
>I can make a pretty good rehearsal dinner seating chart
>I like collard greens more than I'd realized
>Park Slope is further than I'd realized
>I really, really like cucumber sandwiches
>The Blue Ribbon in Brooklyn is really, really big
>Union Hall (in Park Slope) has bocce ball lanes
>Corn dogs and champagne... pair just fine
>I should smoke cigars instead of cigarettes since I don't inhale them anyway
Hopefully, I'll pick up some more nuggets of wisdom this week as well; I'm planning for another French lesson with Vilmarie and tonight I'm back to wine class with: The Great Rieslings of the World! Then, break again until June 1st when Advanced Wine Essentials begins, for 4 weeks, and then just 2 more elective classes until I am certificated!
I'm also pondering taking the Culinary Management course the school offers, in the fall. [Restaurant Management]'ll be my backup plan until I publish my collection of short stories--and make it big.
Until then, I've decided to study for at least a year by reading Truman Capote's La Côte Basque 50 times, to start.
(Why am I always setting such impractical reading goals for myself?) > >
