It’s too hot to turn on the oven — This post first appeared in Samantha Irby’s newsletter, books/snacks/softcore and you can subscribe here. It’s 90 degrees around here so fuck an oven, babe. Summer is the absolute pits. We’re a fancy-salad-only house from now until October. Lately, I’ve been eating this amended (read: dumbed-down) Serious Eats Niçoise because it’s…

How Cheeseburger Macaroni Got My Stepkids to Like Me

Or tolerate me enough not to delete my saved shows from the DVR — This is an excerpt from Irby’s new book of essays, “Wow, No Thank You,” a Vintage Paperback Original, on sale March 31.

Meet the Author Whose Favorite Food Category Is Takeout

What is she gonna do, make her own General Tso’s? — I’m sure this is the kind of essay where you expect to find a picture of me casually standing in my sun-dappled kitchen, a woven basket full of my farmer’s market bounty propped against my hip as I lean seductively on my impeccable farmhouse sink, fully hydrated and ready to…

Hysterical!

The body that bleeds — I got my period for the first time, without warning, when I was in the fifth grade. Having requested a full hysterectomy mere months after squeezing me out into the world (no, I didn’t take that decision personally, nope, not at all!), my mom didn’t have any menstrual products in…
