Ali Wentworth has loosely collated a collection of stories about her life that are sometimes kind of amusing. Mostly, she comes off as spoiled and irritating instead of "hilarious" as the blurbers promise. Honestly, I don't know or care about Ali at all, and only read it because it was our book club selection for the month. I really like the lady who picked it, so I'm not looking forward to having to express my dislike of it at the meeting this week. :(

My book club selection for this month is the follow-up to this book, Happily Ali After. After reading the first chapter of that book, which heavily references this text, I decided I had to read this first. Ack. Ali Wentworth, an actress, currently married to George Stephanopoulous, thinks she's "Middle class". Her mother's name is Muffie, though Ali assures us that "the money was gone" by the time her mother reached adulthood. Yet, she grew up with at least two houses, one of which was on "the cape". She went to boarding school. She spent summers either "abroad" or "on the cape". Her mother literally GAVE her boyfriend a brand new Subaru because she didn't like Ali riding around in his "death trap". Their "family refuge" is the Four Seasons, for heaven's sake.
Ali comes off as super-complainy, though self-deprecating, and only occasionally funny. I didn't really know her before reading this; though I've seen some of the things she's been in, she wasn't memorable to me as an actor. I'm really not motivated to seek her out after this, either. I find her blindly privileged and irritating.

Well, this is not your average, healthy, fancy ingredient, colorful photo cookbook; Nope, not at all.... I tell you it was the blue velvet gold embossed cover that piqued my curiosity

This book is divided into the 4 Seasons and appropriate menus for each w/ recipes.

I seriously was not aware of the myriad of uses the "Upper Class" had for Ritz Crackers, Wheat-Thins, Triscuit, Mayonnaise, Corn Syrup, Vanilla Wafers, Cream of Mushroom Soup, or White Bread until I read this book.

Most recipes I'd never make myself, but they sure know how to mix a cocktail & steam a lobster.....… (meer)

I read this book in one day! What a delightful, funny book! My favorite part was the retelling of her first (and only) time snorting coke! Laugh out loud funny! Who knew George Stephanopoulos's wife would be so amusing and forthright about her past. I loved it all and plan on reading her next book ASAP!
