Heather Whaley tells of her worst date ever at Sex & Food Night at In The Flesh Reading Series

At Sex & Food Night, we were lucky enough to give away 3 copies of Heather Whaley's book Eat Your Feelings: Recipes for Self-Loathing (thanks!) and to hear Heather tell the store of her worst date ever (inspiration for the Worst Date Nutty Cheeseball recipe in her book, which in my opinion is worth it for the hilarious table of contents alone). You'll feel better about your worst date after hearing about hers! In two parts, below. "Sometimes it's just easier to fuck the guy rather than tell him why you're not going to." Yes, you want to hear this story!
