My brother game me a cookbook/hospitality guide that is great. I've read most of it already. It's called "I Like You" by Amy Sedaris "Hospitality Under the Influence". You may recognize Amy from the show Strangers With Candy. It was a pretty strange show on Comedy Central. YouTube videos of her on Letterman are pretty funny if you want to see how crazy she is. Her book has all kinds of tips on how to throw different kind of parties, how to be a good guest, different recipes, and just tips on random things in life. I like this from the chapter "Entertaining the Elderly": "It's never good to stereotype. All of your guests are individuals with different needs. Except in the case of the elderly. You can pretty much count on all of them not liking loud music and being cold...Keep them engaged or it's the express train to nappy-land." It's all hilarious and 98% of it is practical and smart. Thanks Jeff!Random things that I've learned lately:
Breyer's Cookies & Cream is the best
Herdez salsa verde will now be in this home's taco meat forever
I'm not very good at shoveling snow
How to fix our disposal
When AJ says "one can" of Mt. Dew he means "24-Pack"

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! If you haven't tried Haagen Daz cookies and cream, you're in for a treat. They also make the MOST AMAZING cookie dough ice cream. Way better than Ben & Jerry's, believe it or not.
I scanned through that book that Jeff got you the last time I was at B&N. It's pretty hilarious. I thought you'd like it.
P.S. can you email me your address again?
OOooohhh...don't you love how no matter how cold it is outside, ice cream always sounds delicious?
That book is great, although there's a handful of...inappropriate...humor. Of course I like it, but just thought I'd warn you. Mom wants to read it I think. :)
Look how much you've already learned this year. Good for you!
For some reason, I actually crave ice cream when it's cold outside. I think it's because I lived in Rexburg where it's usually cold and where I would almost always crave ice cream.
Also I noticed the "inappropriate" humor in the book. That's one of the reasons why I thought you would like it.
aj stops at only 24? wow, i guess i've lost respect for him. i thought he could drink more than that...
