This cheery cookbook is the brainchild of the Red Hat Society, a nationwide organization of women who like to wear silly hats, enjoy each other's company, and eat dessert first. "Life is short; eat dessert first," says Sue Ellen Cooper, Exalted Queen Mother of the Red Hat Society, which is the most fun phenomenon to happen to women over 50 in this century. This cookbook has more than 250 desserts at the beginning of a collection of more than 1,000 recipes. Red Hat editors selected the best recipes, stories, and photographs submitted by members from all over the world. In The Red Hat Society Cookbook, you’ll find recipes including: Cantaloupe Chiffon Pie Ice Cream Crunch Torte Cookie Dough Cream Cheese Puffs Strawberry Yaya Cake Popcorn Candy Cake Their compilation has the feel of an enormous community cookbook, with the same lack of focus, mixed bag of recipes, and overriding spirit of goodwill.
A beautiful full-color cookbook from the “nationwide organization of women who like to wear silly hats, enjoy each other’s company, and eat dessert first” (Publishers Weekly). You’ve probably heard the expression “Life is uncertain, eat dessert first.” The Red Hat Society maintains that you should “Eat Dessert Always!” Even the Red Hatters who no longer bother to cook regular meals will still strut their stuff with chocolate, meringues, and pastries. Compiled by Red Hatters from around the country, this luscious collection of ranges from simple to sublime, delightful to decadent. With more than two hundred all-new recipes, it covers cakes, pies, candies, breads, puddings, cookies, and much more. For the non-cooks who still want to impress, there’s even a special section of non-cook, easy-to-assemble desserts. Filled with enthusiasm, humor, and really good desserts, Eat Dessert First! makes life a little sweeter!
When it comes to humor, Americans are said to hold nothing sacred. Deadly Mistakes: Real Obituaries Gone Amusingly Wrong is an example of that sentiment. Given our near obsession with fame and celebrity, it should come as no surprise that ordinary people would go to extraordinary lengths to be considered noteworthy. Deadly Mistakes provides the evidence in the obituaries of the unfamous. Average folks are remembered by family and friends in send-offs that unintentionally go off the rails in amusing and bizarre ways. What's to be said of someone whose family wants him to be remembered for inventing an electric pickle...that stinks? Of someone who, not wanting to give up his love of uniforms, became a campus police officer? Or of someone who achieved the mysterious title of Puissant Sovereign of the Red Cross of Constantine? Plenty. All this and more is included in Deadly Mistakes: Real Obituaries Gone Amusingly Wrong. These obituaries have not been edited (except for length and to remove last names). They stand on their own as commentary on the human need to find meaning in it all somehow, some way. Deadly Mistakes should remind readers of one thing: it's best to go out laughing. Just ask the guy whose memorial service was held at Hammerhead's Bar, just east of The Strip, in Vegas.
