Fool's errand has a romantic ending
On April 1, 2004, Susie wrote in to Sideswipe looking for an April Fool. "I am just about to hit 45 (blonde, slim, intelligent, non-smoker, rather attractive, according to the last boyfriend, and extremely humble and funny)," she said. "I have lived with only two (extremely handsome) men in my life. They were both born on April 1, but 13 years apart. Let's just say things didn't work out, twice," she wrote. "Going on the third-time-lucky principle, my daughter says I must try again and hunt out another April Fool. Any takers?" Well, Susie had about 100 calls that day. Steve rather cockily replied a day later and a decade on, Susie and her suitor are tying the knot. "Thank you, Sideswipe - we both count ourselves incredibly lucky to have found each other!"
Of course, a Beyonce-themed dinner for Valentine's
The idea may make some of us retch, but an Italian restaurant in Brooklyn is fully booked for its Beyonce-themed Valentine's Day evening. Dishes include the Jay-Ziti ($19), I Am Pasta Fierce ($24), and Breastiny's Child ($29). The calamari dish is, of course, Put a Ring On It.
It's secret, but it's basic
