Publisher's Synopsis
After R.J. Rowley burned water, spent seven hours baking a potato, and hard boiled the egg timer, her mother insisted she learn how to operate in the kitchen without setting bacon on fire. From the author of The 27 Hour Day and the Plagiarized Guides to Life series, How to Be Funny and Make People Fat is a cozy comedy memoir featuring recipes and vignettes about how her mother influenced her comedic, culinary, and life skills in and out of the kitchen.
Warning: Stories may include humor, life lessons, and gluten.
This book is dedicated to the memory of Barbara Rowley who would be horrified (yet amused) that her daughter wrote a book about her but pleased that R.J. finally learned the difference between a teaspoon and a tablespoon.
