Publisher's Note The author of Job Hopper and No Touch Monkey! presents a range of essays sharing her comical observations as a haphazard home cook and unprofessional but zealous consumer of pop culture cuisine, describing her sampling of fare from convenience meals and fast foods to exotic foreign dishes and disgusting near-inedibles.
