Tiny Hot Dogs
Tiny Hot Dogs: A Memoir in Small Bites | Mary Giuliani
3 posts | 1 read
From awkward schoolgirl to Caterer to the Stars, Mary Giuliani weaves together a collection of hilarious memories, from professional growing pains to her long journey to motherhood, never losing her sense of humor and her love for everyone's favorite party food, pigs in a blanket.Mary's utterly unremarkable childhood was everything she didn't want: hailing from a deeply loving yet overprotective Italian family in an all-Jewish enclave on Long Island. All she wanted was to fit in (be Jewish) and become famous (specifically a cast member on Saturday Night Live). With an easy, natural storytelling sensibility, Mary shares her journey from a cosseted childhood home to the stage and finally to the party, accidentally landing what she now refers to as "the breakthrough role of a lifetime" catering to a glittery list of stars she once hoped to be part of herself.Fresh, personal, and full of Mary's humorous, self-deprecating, and can-do attitude against all odds, you'll want to see where each shiny silver tray of hors d'oeuvres takes her next. You never know when the humble hot dog will be a crucial ingredient in the recipe for success, in building a business or simply making life more delicious.

I have no words

dabbe 😮😱😮 2mo
TieDyeDude It just hurts my brain. The fact that everybody immediately fact checks him to his face and online, and finds the exact source, and it doesn't matter to him or his supporters... what is going on in this reality? 2mo
The_Book_Ninja @TieDyeDude I watched the debate. He‘s like a deranged moron with an unrestrained, demented Tourettes. The only reason I see people following him is, for some unfathomable reason, they like his persona. This is all politics is now for some people: persona vs persona. God help us all 2mo

bthegood @The_Book_Ninja I think his core likes his persona (hated filled, racist, sexist all the isms - his core doesn't seem to realize he is classist!), I think “sane“ party followers are torn - what party do they want to govern? Now they are at a crossroads - if he wins, they lose their party forever - it becomes the Trump party - how important is their party to them, are they willing to lose to keep their party? This election will let us know- 2mo
The_Book_Ninja @bthegood I think you‘ve called it! If Trump ever went independent, the Republicans would split as the Orange Megalomaniac siphons votes . 2mo
Bookwomble Do you listen to the News Quiz on Radio 4? They had a funny bit about this story (Content Warning: as well as funny comedians, contains a token right wing comedian 🥜). https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0022skq?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile 2mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble cor, yeah…just listened and then googled “comedian” Simon Evans. He‘s rank. Also, as a Stewart Lee fan, you‘ll know the significance of “ “ around the word comedian. Also, Also…got your tickets to The Man-Wulf yet? 2mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja The sad thing is that Evans is a funny & witty comedian, but his views are SO Conservative & his targets are often the disadvantaged rather than the powerful. I've spent 15 minutes reminding myself of John Jonah Jameson, The Man-Wolf, & wondering if his movie is in the next wave of the MCU. Then, spelling it as you have, see it's Stewart's next tour! I'll try to snag tickets at Salford or Liverpool. Cheers for the heads up 😊🎫 2mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble yep! Dragging the missus along to Leicester Square in December. 2mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja I've booked us for The Lowry, Salford, in February 😊 Thanks again for putting it on my radar 👍🏻 2mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble if you‘re going to try and see the world‘s best stand-ups, start at the 41st and work your way up. That‘s what I always say. 2mo

Overall I thought this book was good, even if the writing was a bit silly at times. Her food doesn't sound the greatest personally, but she must be doing something right to be a caterer to the stars!

Soubhiville What a funny title! 5y
Shadowfat @Soubhiville that's part of the reason I picked it up 😆 5y

Found at the front door today. Don‘t know where they came from. They must be strays. Can I keep them, mom? (Ok, yes, I ordered them myself but we can keep that just between us, can‘t we?)

squirrelbrain 🤣🤣🤣 5y
robinb 🤐🤐🤐 (Thanks! I‘ve always wanted to use that emoji!!) Hope your strays are well-behaved! 🤣🤣🤣 5y
