Cooking for the Week : Leisurely Weekend Cooking for Easy WeekDAY Meals
Smart cooks know that leftovers are a good thing. An empty refrigerator dooms the cook to a tiresome trip to the store, the agony of starting from scratch for each meal, or worse: night after night of soulless, expensive take-out. But with a little planning ahead, a hearty weekend meal can provide several delicious meals throughout the week. In Cooking for the Week, weekend dinners are designed to provide plenty of leftovers, which are then used in clever weekday recipes. And these weekday meals are no dried-out rehash: leftovers are creatively transformed into stir-fries, salads, soups, pastas, fajitas, sandwiches, and other delectable reincarnations. Each weekend menu is tied to three or four weekday dishes, so planning a weekâs worth of family meals is easier than anyone ever imagined. Cooking for the Week gives you a plan that makes it possible to eat well, feed the family, and spend weekday evenings relaxing instead of running around. Now thatâs a great idea!.

Tied in Knots: Funny Stories from the Wedding Day
Your wedding — the moment you’ve been waiting for your whole life — is tomorrow. The invitations have been sent out, the caterer and florist are lined up, and the bridesmaid dresses have all been exquisitely hand tailored. The location is spectacular and the officiant is your best friend. The weather is going to be great. There’s only one fear: that something unplanned and unexpected will happen.
With biting humor, twenty true stories share the side-splitting details of wedding mishaps and mistakes. A momentous event for all, weddings bring together people — who may not know each other or know each other too well — to create an idealized vision of the occasion. But different cultural expectations, emotional outpourings, jealous ex-lovers, rules of etiquette, and lots of champagne can blur that vision, making for laugh-out-loud experiences no one ever expected, yet everyone can relate to.
These funny women — brides, bridesmaids, guests, relatives, and strangers — know that wedding gowns can fall apart, that chocolate shavings will melt under the sun, and that dirty dancing isn't just a movie. They capture the essence of bad luck, bad taste, and bad decisions surrounding the big day in this witty, entertaining book.
