The bestselling entertaining guide from America's most delightfully
unconventional hostess is now available in paperback!
Are you lacking direction in how to whip up a swanky soiree for
lumberjacks? A dinner party for white-collar workers? A festive
gathering for the grieving? Don't despair. Take a cue from
entertaining expert Amy Sedaris and host an unforgettable fete that
will have your guests raving. No matter the style or size of the
gathering-from the straightforward to the bizarre-I LIKE YOU
provides jackpot recipes and solid advice laced with Amy's
blisteringly funny take on entertaining, plus four-color photos and
enlightening sidebars on everything it takes to pull off a party
with extraordinary flair. You don't even need to be a host or
hostess to benefit-Amy offers tips for guests, too! (Number one:
don't be fifteen minutes early.) Readers will discover unique
dishes to serve alcoholics (Broiled Frozen Chicken Wings with
Applesauce), the secret to a successful children's party (a
half-hour time limit, games included), plus a whole appendix
chock-full of arts and crafts ideas (from a mini-pantyhose
plant-hanger to a do-it-yourself calf stretcher), and much, much
more!
Wigfield is a town in danger. Built directly in front of a massive
dam, this bucolic hideaway will soon be flooded when the dam is
torn down by the state government to restore the salmon run.
Wigfield's only hope lies in the self-righteous, self-aggrandizing,
self-involved 'journalist' Russell Hokes, who arrives hoping to
capture the quiet dignity of the disappearing American Small Town.
However, Wigfield is neither quiet nor dignified. And as the date
of Wigfield's destruction draws nearer, Hokes casts about like a
cork in a typhoon desperate to find something about Wigfield worth
documenting--or saving. Told through interviews with its many
colorful residents, and accompanied by photos of the authors in
character, Wigfield is a razor-sharp satire by three major talents.
Now in paperback, a hilarious, satirical look at a small town on
the verge of extinction, from the comedic team behind Strangers
with Candy. In his desperate search for a small town dying in
America, intrepid journalist Russell Hokes stumbles upon a
quarter-mile stretch of concrete and gravel dotted with strip clubs
and used auto parts shops. Welcome to Wigfield. Population: vague.
Upon his arrival, Russell Hokes wanders the streets searching for
the salt of the earth. Instead he finds a town in crisis. Why State
Representative Bill Farber wants to tear down the Bulkwaller Dam,
thereby flooding the town. Will Russell Hokes save the town? Is
Wigfield merely posing as a town to collect federal disaster
relief? Won't you please buy this book?

Jon Favreau directs, writes and co-produces this movie in which he
also stars alongside John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Sofía
Vergara, Robert Downey Jr and Dustin Hoffman. Restaurant owner Riva
(Hoffman) refuses to let his chef Carl Casper (Favreau)'s creative
juices flow, giving him an ultimatum - either cook the dishes on
the menu or leave. Although Carl sticks to the menu, bad reviews
criticising his lack of creativity result in a Twitter war and he
loses his job. With the help of his friend Martin (Leguizamo),
ex-wife Inez (Vergara) and son Percy (Emjay Anthony), Carl opens up
a food truck and tours the country with his culinary delights,
rediscovering his passion for cooking along the way. The cast also
includes Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale and Amy Sedaris.
