I just don't need her raising the bar so freakishly high.<BR/><BR/>Guv: Don't you wonder if maybe top chefs leave out some vital piece of information, so we couldn't possibly join their rank of cookie making? Yet another one of my conspiracy theories - glad to hear you're on board with me here.<BR/><BR/>Countess Mama: Please, please, please don't tell me you know her. <BR/><BR/>I know she's driven by a internal force that is inexplicable to anyone but herself. And that the ladder climb up to her self-made pedestal is a lonely one. I get that. Maybe I'm just insanely jealous that she lived on Turkey Farm, and I just eat turkey.<BR/><BR/>Countess of Tea: Sometimes, your friends don't choose you. You choose them. I'm sure your and Martha's friendship isn't the slightest bit odd or creepy. Right?<BR/><BR/>(although it must be a tad difficult to sit and gossip and braid each others' hair from 100 feet away...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541375927817627360.post-19175783574343249242008-10-23T18:33:00.000-07:002008-10-23T18:33:00.000-07:00I must look up this Real Simple Magazine, it sound...I must look up this Real Simple Magazine, it sounds delightful. Plus I love quotes. Of course Martha and I will never separate. Because Martha and I? We're like this. Ask her, she'll tell you. And if you say Joy sent you to ask and she says something about a restraining order? You just ignore her.

Let's just say I tried this recipe TWICE and nothing even vaguely resembling cookies emerged. I ate them anyway. I mean they still tasted ok even if they looked like crap. I think Martha may have been behind them...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541375927817627360.post-60180562092994006222008-10-23T08:24:00.001-07:002008-10-23T08:24:00.001-07:00I frequently give Real Simple subscriptions to my ...I frequently give Real Simple subscriptions to my friends for birthday gifts (isn't that Martha Stewart-like of me?).

Not that I don't wish her every success, but when your love life gets splashed on the cover of The Enquirer (I swear I only read this in line at the grocery store - my subscription expired months ago...), the bloom is kinda off the rose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541375927817627360.post-7691720566401321502008-10-23T06:13:00.000-07:002008-10-23T06:13:00.000-07:00I LOVE Real Simple magazine.
