11/23/19 (For Adults)
Remember the thrill of book fairs in elementary school? This is kind of like that, except for grown-ups. The event will be a nostalgic flashback: scrunchies, tie-dye, snap bracelets, retro crafts, and pizza. Stop by the classroom, where you can read, meet writer John Hodgman, who's attending as "the principal," or catch cookbook author Deb Perelman serving tips about food as the "lunch lady."


When the sun's out, there’s nothing quite like taking a walk on the High Line. NYC’s elevated park is certainly one of more popular  New York attractions  everyone needs to check off their list, and it's the perfect activity to take visitors from out of town. To give you a bit of history, the High Line was once a rail track, which went out of use in 1980. In 2009, the 1.45-mile-long strip was transformed into what is now considered one of the most unique  parks in NYC . The urbanite playground features wildflowers, greenery and  outdoor art  installations in addition to killer views of New York’s skyline.

Hudson Yards is New York’s newest neighborhood and home to more than 100 diverse shops and culinary experiences, offices for leaders in industry, significant public art and dynamic cultural institutions including The Shed, modern residences, 14 acres of public plazas, gardens and groves.

Got EATS?
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
INGREDIENTS
4 tbsp. butter
1 onion, chopped
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large head broccoli, finely chopped
1 large carrot, grated
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
2 c. whole milk
3 c. shredded cheddar, plus more for garnish
Baguette, for serving

DIRECTIONS
In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Whisk in flour and let cook 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and season generously with salt and pepper.
Stir in broccoli, carrots, and celery. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Let simmer until vegetables are tender, 20 minutes.
Add milk and bring to a simmer, then stir in cheddar.
Season with salt and pepper and top with more cheddar. Serve with baguette.


*****************

Perfect Banana Pudding
INGREDIENTS
1 1/3 c. milk
1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.)
3 c. heavy cream
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 box vanilla wafer cookies (12 oz.)
4 bananas, sliced into coins
2 tsp. sugar

DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, combine milk, vanilla pudding mix and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk thoroughly, breaking up any lumps, and refrigerate for at least 5 minutes, or until set.
In another large bowl, combine heavy cream and vanilla. Beat until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside half of the mixture for topping the dish. Fold remaining half into the pudding mixture.
Cover the bottom of a 3-quart trifle dish with vanilla wafers. Top with one-third of the pudding mixture. Cover with another layer of the wafer cookies—you may want to also stand some cookies up vertically, so you see the full circle along the edge of the trifle dish. Top with an even layer of banana slices. Continue layering the pudding, wafer cookies and banana slices until you reach the top, ending with a final layer of banana pudding.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to overnight.
Sweeten the remaining whipped cream: Add sugar to whipped cream, stirring to combine. Just before serving, dollop on top of the banana pudding, then sprinkle crumbled wafer cookies on top.

Study Habit #8
~Review Test-Taking Strategies~
It is normal for your son or daughter to feel stressed when taking an exam. However, there are certain strategies that will help him or her manage the stress and do his or her best on the exam. First, make sure that your child arrives on time and tries to stay relaxed. Students should be sure to read all of the directions on the exam and pace themselves so as not to feel rushed. You can let your child know that it’s OK to skip around on a test, if allowed, as he or she may be more comfortable with certain topics than others.

The New York City Department of Education offers free breakfast, lunch and after-school meals to all NYC public school students during the school year.
