How do you know when your party is over? When someone says, "Hey everyone, listen to the words of this song?" Amy Sedaris's deadpan guide to easy entertaining, I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence, is full of little pearls like this, steering readers through potentially troublesome social situations. Sedaris's credentials as the anti-Nigella are impeccable. She's appeared in the film Elf as well as Sex and the City, has an imaginary boyfriend called Ricky, and runs a company called Dusty Food, selling cheese balls and cupcakes out of her kitchen. Entertaining alchoholics?
Fifteen-minute meals in 20 minutes?
It's all here in this very amusing book that could save the day when everything goes a bit Abigail's Party.
Best tip ever is: "A good trick is to fill your medicine cabinet with marbles.
Nothing announces a nosey guest better than an avalanche of marbles hitting a porcelain sink."
