The Party, by Elizabeth Day
Look, things are not good. So just read this book about fancy British people instead of thinking about that. It came out like a decade ago so it’s probably available on Libby right this instant.

The first time I bought this, I accidentally got medium-dark even though I’m pretty pasty. But you know what? It’s perfect. I don’t bother with any sort of preparation. I just slap this on a couple times a week and I look like a regular person instead of a vampire. I have never even read the instructions. Are you supposed to rinse it off? No idea, but I don’t.
More Is More: Get Loose in the Kitchen: A Cookbook
I think Molly Baz doesn’t quite get her due because she’s very Gen Z or something, but her recipes work! She’s into strong flavors, which I enjoy. Also, this book has these cute “cook along” thingies where she’s actually in your ear while you cook, keeping you company and helping you understand the pacing of a recipe. I have a ton of cookbooks and I’m a pretty advanced cook, and I think Molly is undervalued!
