Dinner & A Book - I Like You: Hospitatility Under The Influence

 Amy Sedaris is the sister of writer David Sedaris whose book, Me Talk Pretty One Day aired on Dinner and a Book in 2005. Amy's book is a collection of good information for the beginning cook, hilarious projects and decorating ideas. The book contains kitschy photos and illustrations. See pages 62, 124-5, 198-9, 220-21 and the last page of the Test Kitchen.

 The author, tongue in cheek, lets us in on her secrets on how to be poised and prepared for entertaining. But be forewarned:  If you are easily offended, don’t read it. It’s naughty, hilarious and full of good recipes and entertaining suggestions.

 For example did you ever think you’d serve a Halloween dinner in the dark?  Create plant holders out of panty hose?   Freshen up cheese balls for the next party?  Entertain a lumberjack? You will learn how to toss frantically and brown chicken until tanned.  So come on and meet my friend from the Acorn Theatre in Three Oaks, Michigan, Kim Clark.
