Do you know what you put us through -- each and every one of you? How many countless trips to Sainsbury's, how many squandered Friday nights peeling potatoes and brining chicken, how many red food coloring-stained shirts, how many pounds waxed onto thighs, HOW MUCH MUST WE ENDURE? Well, apparently only one more. Our last Afterschool Special dinner is on Saturday, June 12. (Our potluck party is on June 15 @ the Haggerston)
I (Angela) am leaving our little enterprise, leaving it all behind for the California coast and eventually, Brooklyn (where Marlon will join me!). Both Marlon and I thoroughly enjoyed working on this project, and we do consider it a great success. Met some great people, learned how to bake a proper cake, and simultaneously, how to evade the law (oh, too many legal transgressions to count). We do hope you all manage to muster up the energy and funds to attend our last dinner because we'd love to have you. If not, we hope to see you at our British-themed underground restaurant in Brooklyn. uck, NOT!

THE END: AFTERSCHOOL SPECIAL - JUNE 12

Afterschool Special - April 23
Hi guys,
Yet another phenomenal Afterschool Special week. I have to say, I'm really impressed by how smoothly everything went in the kitchen this weekend. You can prepare all week and get organized, or you can wait until the last minute to do everything, doesn't really matter... You can still never predict what's going to happen once the guests arrive. So Marlon and I were quite shocked when, at 7 pm, this time around, we were waiting for them with cocktails (instead of wishing they'd come 30 minutes later) and once everyone trickled in, food was served, plate after plate, without missing a beat. I felt very German.
This particular Afterschool Special on Friday was surprisingly American-heavy with a blend of marrieds with like, REAL jobs and also some bubbly, wanderlusting NYU girls studying abroad. We had some New Yorkers, Californians, a Texan, and some Canadians and a Kiwi (A Kiwi who thought Marlon and I were a couple!). The British are being underrepresented, I think that should be remedied. I feel like I always need to remind them " American food is GOOD, didn't you see Jamie Oliver's Road Trip across America?". Come on guys, step it up. But a sincere thank you to those who came, you were all great.
Dates for May still, please book!
