There's a picture of a cake (the ghost cake with flaming eyes) that's from a Betty Crocker children's cookbook that I've had for 20+ years. When AS was at Fred Flare last month peddling her wares, I was going to confront her about that, but the room she was in was sooooo crowded.

She really wanted some Vicodin one Christmas Eve. Upon walking out of her apartment on a search for it, she ran into a woman on crutches--who took her up to her apartment and gave her Vicodin. Amy calls it the "Miracle on Christopher Street."

She taught Martha Stewart how to make a grilled cheese sandwich in prison by using an iron... in 2001. She also gave Martha a squirrel-shaped wooden bong which she carved herself, and told her it was packed.

She had a long-time imaginary boyfriend named Ricky... Who worked as a grip in Argentina, brought her back saffron, lost all of his tools in a camper fire and suffered a stroke. She and Ricky had a baby, Hercules, the around same time that David Letterman's son was born. Amy said they had been "trying for hours."

my dad gave me the cd version of i like you for christmas and i was thinking of returning it for the book and then jon gave me the book (thanks!). i think i will still return the cd though cause i have a few of the mp3s and while it's great that it's amy reading, i don't know how much i'd actually listen to it.

haven't had a chance to do any recipes yet but now that i'm reminded of it, maybe i will soon!

the last 4 times ive seen letterman shes been on.

Yeah, I think I've caught her at least twice since my June post. That last one she said something about how some of the recipes in her book are screwed up because she didn't double check them! Oh well. Still impossibly cute.

one month passes...

She's killing it on this show, I haven't laughed so much in eons. Funnier than Curb Your Enthusiasm or The Crown.
