Check it out girls! Maybe you've heard about this book "I like you: Hospitality Under the Influence" by Amy Sedaris? It's a HIGHLY INVENTIVE cookbook/guide to crafts and domesticity by the sister of comedy writer David Sedaris that Mary just gifted me for my birthday. The photography is so hilarious, as Amy says inside the front cover, buy it just for the photos alone! I can't wait for the section on putting together a mourning event for deceased pets or the chapter on entertaining the elderly! Also there are tonz of craft projects at the back including how to make a plant hanger with panty hose and a topographical map of Alaska using salt. There's a secret pinup poster of the author smothered in rainbow sprinkles and frosting hidden inside that you can only see when you buy it. It's nice to know a weird person can have so much domestic flair!
Here are some of the cakes Amy suggests making:

That is a great birthday present. Amy S is hilarious. I heard her on a talk show hyping the book and she made me laugh tears. Also, she was always my favorite guest on Letterman back when I used to watch him. I like the "See you in 5 to 10" cake, though I hope I never have occasion to make it.
I might sound absolutely stupid saying this but I love your blog because the art and nifty stuff on it makes me feel like I'm actually getting more culture than my usual TV grazing.
The book looks HILARIOUS!
Hey Annie, I know you wanted Nigella Lawson's "How to Be a Domestic Goddess" Cookbook, but honestly, Amy is more your style. Glad you like it,
mary
