The above book was, by far, my favorite holiday gift. It's hilarious but despite being written and styled by the fabulously crazy Amy Sedaris, it's no gag cookbook. It's chock-full of recipes I will be making. The tips and backstories are too much; prepare to laugh. It's one of the most text-rich, side-splittingly-funny, and mouth-watering cookbooks you will ever read. And, the photos.
I could easily sit down and read it in a day, but I want to savor it so I've been parsing out the pages. When I cook from it, you'll be the first to know.
Go get it now.

I gave this to my sister for Christmas, and I was sure that 14 copies were going to end up under the tree. Alas, just that one, so I'm going to have to borrow it back from her pretty soon.

I skimmed through it after another blogger mentioned how great it was, and put it on my list. I didn't recieve it though - so it remains on the list until I get to the book store this weekend.
Peter Sedaris recently played a gig at the playhouse I work at, and he was great. I was hoping Amy would make an appearance - but she was a no-show.
