Deep-Fried Twinkies With Some Librium On the Side

Today in January Magazine, my review of Retox: Booze, Use, and Snooze Your Way to Personal Fulfillment by Jennifer and Victoria Traig. One of the few books I’ve ever seen that comes with a disclaimer:

Unless years of inhalant abuse have already taken their toll, it should go without saying that this is intended as a humor book and not an actual lifestyle guide. This book is full of dangerous suggestions, foolish advice, and across-the-board bad ideas (except for the deep-fried Twinkies, which are excellent). The authors would like to clarify to anyone who might be reading this, especially parents, that they’ve never tried any of the activities described herein, especially not the illegal or narcotic ones. Except for the deep-fried Twinkies, which, again, are excellent. Enjoy.

Actually, as I mention in the review, I thought the Pizza in A Glass sounded interesting, as well. Essentially ice, pizza sauce, vodka and string cheese. Mmmmm.

The review is here.
