FRIDAY: Supper For A Good Cause
It’s been a long time— too long— since I have a nod to the wonderful Co-Pastors who operate the Greenpoint Reformed Church. Not only do these lovely ladies give succor to our neediest—- but they’re really cool to boot! This post is an attempt to catch up. Here it goes.
This upcoming Friday, September 17, they will be conducting a fund-raising supper for their food pantry and soup kitchen.
The (tentative) menu (whose produce/foodstuffs has been donated from local farms/businesses!) is as follows:
- Soup—Sunchoke with crispy brussel sprouts
- Salad—Vegetarian Nicoise: Lettuce, string beans, potatoes, boiled eggs, etc…
- Main Course—Creamy Polenta, fire roasted tomato ragout, grilled veggies, garlicky greens
- Dessert—(the most tentative menu item!) Sugared crepes, carmelized apples, Van Leeuwen ice cream (!)
A cocktail hour will be conducted in the backyard from 6:30 – 8:30 as well. Among the offerings are:
vodka with mint syrup and raspberries and bourbon with ginger juice and lemon—as well as wine–$8 suggested donation per drink.
This includes “snacks”. Check it out!

LAST GASP: Have You Seen Sadie?
As I have been watching the primary results this lovely— and lost— lady found her way in my inbox. Her name is Sadie. She is an Australian Cattle Dog, just above knee in height, 50lbs, sports a brown collar with pink polka dots and Chicago tags; and white eyelashes on her right eye. This petite pup was last (purportedly) seen near Central Avenue and Cooper Street on September 11th and her person would very much like some help distributing fliers tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. Here’s the 411 per a concerned friend named Ellen:
Cari (Sadie’s “mom”) is in need of finding some helpers to distribute flyers in Bushwick : Central Ave and Cooper area tomorrow WED at 1pm. She is planning to meet @ 1 PM in front of Firehouse 252 Squad at Central and Cooper : 617 Central Ave. Whatever time people have to post flyers…someone said they saw Sadie there on Sept 11th. Cari has not been able to get into the city much and difficult to enroll people during the week. I am willing to pay people 10. an hour to help.
Cari can be reached via email at: carivm (at) gmail (dot) com. Otherwise if you have seen this lovely lass please contact her “person” at the above telephone number. Otherwise you can check out her Facebook page here. Thanks!

This vision hails from McCarren Park and is (hopefully) a harbinger of what some of our more, um, notorious “public servants” will experience after the votes have been tallied from tonight’s primary!
