pet peeve -- when recipes bomb . . .

[W.DeBord]

Oh my Gosh, are you kidding, MARTHA STEWART! I see your posting from Israel, keep quite unless you want your country over run by fleaing housewifes from the States.

Martha Stewart.....she makes many housewives cringe in anger. She has a t.v. show, magazine, catalog, radio spots, makes guest appearances everywhere, endorsments with other companies....her company just went public on the stock market. She's everywhere we look in the US, all over the media and product lines in stores. Looking down her nose (some people percieve) telling women how to make everything better (from scratch). You have to look at her web site, Martha Stewart.com (actually you might fall in love with it, I have) she makes everything and sells you everything to make everything.

Your either a "Martha want to be" or a "Martha basher" depending on how you percieve her attitute.

hi,
thank you for enlightening my eyes...from what i read here it seems that the lady does give recipes but how should i say - recipes that if u try them u don't success-so i say don't give unless they are really the correct ones. if there is something that i hate is getting -should i put it this way-an "uncomplete recipe" that goes directly to the garbage.if u don't want to give a recipe-fine! but if u give - give it rightly!
wooowww... hope u got the point.. sorry for the poor spelling.. let see u write in hebrew...

wow, martha sounds cool, just the person i need to talk to,how do i contact her?.

I want to make a cyborg using:
a large plastic garbage bin
a box of old broken prosthetic limbs
a roll of caterers aluminium foil
and a visit to radio shack

and is this possible?

Hi Nick.Shu,

Your interest in Martha is laudable!

You can reach Martha with a specific question at:

marthabymail@customersvc.com

If she can make water and dirt, I don't see why she couldn't make a cyborg easily!!! Let's face it, she probably has all the proper tools and parts to sell you for your project. And everything will be delivered right to your door!

Ooooooooh! Kimmie! You are a HOOT!!!

I didn't know that old Martha could make water and dirt. My respect for her has increased immeasureably.

By the way, Amira...I wouldn't have a prayer of writing in Hebrew. Your English looks good to me!

[Kimmie]

Yep. A few years ago, I received a book spoofing Martha, that ressembled her magazine. Actually, "spoof" is much too gentle a word, it was rather a relatively mean spirited attack!

[nancya]

Kimmie, would that be one of these? Available for practically nothing at Amazon.com for those who can't stop bashing poor old Martha.



I have never seen one of these in person, are they really mean-spirited?

[Kimmie]

Yes Nancya, the one on the left!!

Do you have that book?

[nancya]

No, Kimmie, I've never actually seen one in person. I think it is a bit of a shame if they are really mean-spirited though. Poor Martha may leave herself open for bashing, but we have to agree with some of what Wendy and all said earlier, she has her good points too.

Though, I still say it takes her $600 and half the equipment in her kitchen to make a cup of tea.

[Kimmie]

I hope that is for High Tea!!!

I wouldn't worry about Martha, she can stand up for herself.

Wonder if Martha collects her own memorbelia, you could pass on those books to her? When she can't sleep at night does she look at other food related web sites for ideas? Anyone here named Martha?

Why not, I understand she only needs 5 hours of sleep each night.... that gives her plenty of time to visit us.........wouldn't that be a hoot?
