I like you: hospitality under the influence by Amy Sedaris
You may know the name Amy Sedaris from Strangers With Candy on Comedy Central. In her cookbook/party guide she gives you several useful recipes, hints and ideas for each and every party or get together imaginable. Like her comedy act on TV she brings her wit and snarky attitude to the table in, I Like You.
More than one recipe caught my eye, and I plan on making a few of them for the Holidays. There was one recipe that I found so funny, I have to share it with you. Now, keep in mind they are not all like this, most are standardly written and the hilarity is either in the explanation of how this recipe came about or in which situation to use it.
Gypsy Skirt Steak
Steal some skirt steaks.
Slice thin and rub outside with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.
Place on open fire, turning occasionally. Cook long enough for desired temperature. You will need tongs for this.
Amy tells you how to be the perfect hostess, how to make some simple crafts, and amazing appetizers, dinners, desserts, and drinks that will make your guests want to come to any party that you plan in the future. And she actually tells you the correct way to put on pantyhose. I’m telling you this book has so many things going on, the drawings, the humor, and some “female” advice that you wouldn’t expect to find in this book. I don’t think this would be the best cook book to give to your 70 year old grandmother, because there is a lot of foul language.
After Note: I do recommend to NOT try the pineapple upside down cake recipe, it boiled over the pan I was advised to use and caused a HUGE smoke fire in my oven. 3 Hearts
