Book Description
A REVIEW from the SOHO JOURNAL www.sohojournal.com For those of us who find cooking for friends or loved ones more akin to Playing House than an expected and necessary part of our day, "The Unofficial Lazy Slut Cookbook," by Rhoda Carroll Fairman, is a fun, playful guide to the oftentimes daunting world of the kitchen. This is made clear in one section of her introduction about potential deterrents to cooking: "The Wrong Man, The Right Man, the Wrong Pan, Money Loss,Weight Gain, New Diet, Old Diet, A Small Kitchen, A Very Small Kitchen and/or a kitchen that's even smaller than that." The recipes throughout the chapters of the book, organized first by the different types of Meats, then Soups, "Stars of Starch"(Pastas and Potatoes), Veggies, and Desserts, are intended for an entire rainbow of busy women and creative men and their various culinary ailments. The chapters are headed with famous quotes, or humorous anecdotes about the subject and how its fashion has changed over time ("The mothers taught the daughters well. Instead of saying, Eat fish, you'll live longer,' they probably said Fish makes you sexy. I won't let you eat any until you're eighteen.") The recipes themselves come from actual friends of the author, and sometimes with a little back-story; they have fun names, are quite delicious, and indeed are easy to make, each requiring little more than an hour in total preparation time, and only several commonly found ingredients (unlike most conventional cookbooks which call for a dash of fresh basil and leaves the other 8 oz to rot in my refrigerator for a month). They also include tips for simplification, such as asking your butcher to cut the meat in advance, and their preparation is explained in simple, layman's terms in a paragraph, rather than over a page. But for all its lack of pretension, "The Unofficial Lazy Slut Cookbook" contains some bangin' recipes my particular favorites are "Rosemary's Roasted Rack of Lamb with Rosemary Au Jus," (p.74) the "Simple Frittata," (p. 95), and "Tiffany's $100 Hamburger," (p.55) which is pretty cheap to make, and absolutely dreamy. The desserts are great too, and laughably easy, showing how a little sugar and cream can really go a long way. Fairman ends the cookbook with a tip: "Put the coffee on first, before dinner starts. Then it'll be ready for dessert. But you knew that, didn't you? Oh, you didn't. Well, now you do." The greatest thing about "The Unofficial Lazy Slut's Cookbook" is Rhoda Carroll Fairman' s emphasis on the "creative,, curative power in preparing food for people you love, like, respect, or just haven't absolutely made up your mind to hate yet." This truly comes through in the city of Bouley, Balthazar, and 8×10 kitchens, in the age of "Top Chef" and "Martha Stewart Living." And while if you are a Lazy Slut, you may not be inclined to go out and buy this book, buy it as a present for another member of the tribe. It'll surely prove fun and delicious.

Book Description
When asked about writing her book, THE LAZY SLUT COOKBOOK, the author stated, "Not every cook, man or woman, loves to stay in the kitchen for hours at a time. Some cooks want to take short cuts, a lot of short cuts. Some women want to find out what happened to their kids in school that day, or talk to their husbands. Remember husbands? Some guys want to visit with buddies, or feel that the time has come for dinner payback and they don't want to spend their bonus money at a restaurant. Some women merely want to save the manicures that they just paid $20 for. Whatever the reason, this book is dedicated to those lazy cooks who want to spend less time stirring the pot, and more time chit-chattin' and chewin'." Another way to say it is, "There is a creative, curative power in preparing food for people you love, like, respect or just haven't absolutely made up your mind to hate yet."

Hell's Angels
Author: Hunter S. Thompson
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0307826619
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Gonzo journalist and literary roustabout Hunter S. Thompson flies with the angels—Hell’s Angels, that is—in this short work of nonfiction. “California, Labor Day weekend . . . early, with ocean fog still in the streets, outlaw motorcyclists wearing chains, shades and greasy Levis roll out from damp garages, all-night diners and cast-off one-night pads in Frisco, Hollywood, Berdoo and East Oakland, heading for the Monterey peninsula, north of Big Sur. . . The Menace is loose again.” Thus begins Hunter S. Thompson’s vivid account of his experiences with California’s most notorious motorcycle gang, the Hell’s Angels. In the mid-1960s, Thompson spent almost two years living with the controversial Angels, cycling up and down the coast, reveling in the anarchic spirit of their clan, and, as befits their name, raising hell. His book successfully captures a singular moment in American history, when the biker lifestyle was first defined, and when such countercultural movements were electrifying and horrifying America. Thompson, the creator of Gonzo journalism, writes with his usual bravado, energy, and brutal honesty, and with a nuanced and incisive eye; as The New Yorker pointed out, “For all its uninhibited and sardonic humor, Thompson’s book is a thoughtful piece of work.” As illuminating now as when originally published in 1967, Hell’s Angels is a gripping portrait, and the best account we have of the truth behind an American legend.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
Updated, with new research and over 100 revisions Ten years later, they're still talking about the weather! Kate Fox, the social anthropologist who put the quirks and hidden conditions of the English under a microscope, is back with more biting insights about the nature of Englishness. This updated and revised edition of Watching the English - which over the last decade has become the unofficial guidebook to the English national character - features new and fresh insights on the unwritten rules and foibles of "squaddies," bikers, horse-riders, and more.

She demystifies the peculiar cultural rules that baffle us: the rules of weather-speak. The ironic-gnome rule. The reflex apology rule. The paranoid pantomime rule. Class anxiety tests. The roots of English self-mockery and many more. An international bestseller, Watching the English is a biting, affectionate, insightful and often hilarious look at the English and their society.

Banksy
Author: Ulrich Blanché
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783828835412
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
About this Book / Bristol born Banksy is usually categorized as a Street Artist, although his art, in content and form, transcends a narrow understanding of this term. This publication primarily deals with Banksy as a contemporary Urban Artist and his relationship with consumer culture. It examines Banksy not only in light of his illicit work on the street, but also in regard to his gallery exhibitions. The study highlights representative works of his art, pieces which demonstrate his versatility, but also stand for different periods of his oeuvre. This book presents the first academic study of Banksy's art in English; with a history and discussion of the terms Graffiti, Street Art and Urban Art and a rich array of biographical information. It will be of interest to academics and the general public as well. About this Edition / Street Artist Banksy and former Young British artist Damien Hirst are two of the most popular representatives of British contemporary art. Situated in a triangle of art, consumerism and pop culture their work is among the most well-known. A systematic academic study of their artistic viewpoints and references to consumer culture has long been missing, and Ulrich Blanche is finally closing this gap: He examines Hirst's and Banksy's art against the background of the London art scene since 1980. Blanche points out connections to Duchamp, Warhol and Koons, and reflects on the role of the observer, the meaning of location and, especially, the references between art, consumer culture and marketing in their pieces. This two volume edition is the translated and expanded version of the authors dissertational thesis."
