There's a passage in there about making some Greek food. Don't remember, it might have been Baklava. OMG, on the floor, rolling about funny. Guaranteed.

It's one of his first collections of essays and includes the "Santaland Diaries" which is laugh-out-loud funny. Second, IMO, is "Me Talk Pretty One Day".

He is just as witty in person. I also took my sons to see the "Santaland Diaries" a few Christmases ago. We really enjoyed it. It's a fun and different holiday one-man (or one elf) play.
