osher doesn’t have to be boring. These days, there’s no reason you can’t enjoy anything from a nice Parve Thanksgiving Dressing to a Pesach friendly Beef and Guinness Style Stew to Kosher Game Day Sausage Balls.

You won’t find any brisket or latkes in these pages, but you will find plenty of original recipes based on a mix of good old fashioned American comfort food and clones of my favorite restaurant recipes.

Vegans or vegetarians who’ve stumbled across this cookbook because they heard rumors that a lot of kosher recipes are meat free will also find plenty of hearty, meatless dishes as well as an explanation of the mysterious “parve.”

So dive in, eat up, and enjoy tasty, guilt free meals no one will believe are really kosher.

umor writers Noel Boivin and Chris Lombardo follow up their definitive compendium of drunken feats, The Man Who Scared a Shark to Death (Penguin, 2007), with Tastes Like Human: The Shark Guys’ Book of Bitingly Funny Lists.

Here the authors, who one reviewer of their first book called “fast and funny with the facts, without the morality”, present a completely new and unapologetically irreverent take on the list book genre.

Tastes Like Human answers questions people didn’t even know they wanted answers to like: Who are the Top Horniest Cult Leaders of All Time? What are the Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Never Return Things? Which incidents qualify as the Top Acts of Karaoke-Related Violence?

All of that and much more, including etiquette tips on matters as diverse as how to use an ATM machine without seeming like a complete prick, a guide to conduct when meeting Queen Elizabeth, and fighting suggestions the next time your mouth makes an online payment for which there are insufficient funds in your credit account (ass, in keeping with the analogy) to pay for.

Chris and Noel, AKA, “The Shark Guys” are the creators of the popular humor site TheSharkGuys. Links from their site have appeared on dozens of popular websites including Mental Floss, Sports Illustrated, Cracked, IMDb, and FARK.

Reviews of their first book:

“[An] entertaining compendium of tales of drunken exploits — all documented truths, but reading somewhat like urban myths.” –The Globe and Mail

“‘… A brilliant tome dedicated to some of the best true stories of drunken debauchery ever.” –KISW Seattle Online

“Lifelong sobriety certainly isn’t a bad thing, but being a prude is, and it may prevent you from enjoying The Man Who Scared a Shark to Death and Other Tales of Drunken Debauchery.” –The Calgary Herald

“… [A] hilarious (and at times painfully familiar) new book.”, –Scene Magazine

C

larissa Rogers is a young idealist who’s been given the opportunity of a lifetime.

Unfortunately, however, that means serving as communications director for a hopelessly egotistical, opportunistic and unqualified congressional candidate.

It isn’t too miserable at first. Alex Hogan has no chance of actually getting elected to represent Minnesota’s 7th District. Then he gets lucky–again and again and again.

As Election Day nears, Clarissa’s hit with the reality that winning may not be the best thing. Along the way, she captivates a womanizing political consultant, draws the attention of people who could change the world, and emerges as the one person who might actually be able to send Alex Hogan to Congress.

******

Excerpt:

She kept replaying the video on her laptop and the events of two days ago in her mind until Winston unlocked the front door of the headquarters and called out to her. They were the only two staffers on the campaign and, after Sunday afternoon’s display, it was unlikely volunteers would come flooding their way anytime soon.

“I’m here,” Clarissa shouted from her office. Winston walked in and quickly recognized a pity party in progress. He reached over to the desk and closed the laptop.

“We’re making some changes starting right now,” he said. “What’s done is done. Can’t change it and it wasn’t your fault anyway. Our candidate is a jackass, but he can be worked into something.”

“I wish I shared your optimism–”

“Maybe we’ll improve him to a simple village idiot by the time this thing’s over.”

It was the first time Clarissa had laughed in days.

“What kind of changes are you talking about?” she asked.

“For starters, I’m bringing in some help.”

“Who?”

“I put in a call to Carter Jennings.”

“But he’s soulless.” Clarissa couldn’t help herself. She had heard a lot about his professional and personal career.

“Only a little bit,” Winston chuckled. “He is very good, though. Knows what he’s doing.”

“Seriously? Carter Jennings. Why not Satan? He’s busy?”

“You’ll love him. Now come on, let’s get out of here. Have you eaten?”

A

collection of spirituals, plantation melodies and work songs from the memories of American ex-slaves. Work songs were rhythmic songs intended to increase productivity while reducing feelings of boredom, while the more traditional Negro Spirituals where an expression of religious faith. Spirituals are a musical form that is specific to the religious experience in the United States of Africans and their descendants. There are also recollections of the songs used by soldiers from the Civil War as well as children’s songs from the period. Taken from interviews with former slaves carried out by the Federal Writers Project between 1936-38 this is an excellent resource of material for those interested in the lyrics and music from the era of American Slavery.
