Food, Glorious Food ... at the PEP

At last night's Panel for Educational Policy meeting at Tweed, the monthly go-along with BloomKlein gang (with the exception of Manhattan rep Patrick Sullivan and at times Queens' rep Michael Flowers), a presentation on the feeding program that the DOE has instituted city-wide was made, with samples on the way in for the attendees. Now, this in no way competes with the spread the UFT offers at its Exec. Bd. meetings, but it was a nice touch. Klein said he heard the food is pretty good. Apparently he doesn't go near the stuff himself. But not me. I ate. Twice. Once at the meeting and once when I got home. Not bad. But I prefer the old Jamaican beef patties, where all you had to do was collect the oil from the trays and run your car for a week on it.
