I promise won't tell - if you don't tell anyone that
I like Martha Stewart, and bought the soundtrack
to Yentl. :O)

eeuuwww....

Actually, I've sorta got the hots for Martha. Did you see the new
K-Mart ad where she is wearing a bathing suit? ooooh baby.... almost
as good as the photo taken in the 70's of her building a rock wall.

My movie tastes are a little more obscure... Buckaroo Banzai Across the
8th Dimension

Hmmm, I'm not feeling so embarrassed about placing a
letterbox memorializing the Rocky Horror Picture Show
anymore with all the rest of you admitting your odd
interests. I wonder what a Martha Stewart letterbox
would look like...?

ummm... let's see... the box would be antique knotty pine veneer over a
stainless steel housing. Double O-ring lid seal and the top would be a
tile mosaique of the actual location of the letterbox. A moisture meter
and sophisticated humidity controls would monitor and maintain the
moisture content of the boxes interior (lined in hand pressed felt). An
organdy ribbon with a poofy bow would top the box. The letterbox info
inside would be individually calligraphied on hand made paper. The
stamp would be the likeness of Matha's beloved Chow (his name escapes
me...), and would be carved from virgin rubber by an artist who was
flown to Dartmoor specifically for the occasion (lunch was served to all
who attended the carving party). The box would be placed on a hilltop
overlooking the ocean, somewhere on the eastern seaboard... preferably
someplace with history older than dirt. The box would be located under
an actual cast replica of Plymouth Rock. The clues, in the form of
anagrams, are derived from exerpts from 18th century Danish poetry.

YES!!! LOL! And I want an invitation to the party!
Unabashedly Martha's fan (except maybe when she's WAY
over the top like when she made tiny brooms to brush herb
butter on the corn on the cob...)

Not tongue in cheek at all, Deborah. I will check out the site and

It seems appropriate to admit something here, but I can't even come up with
one something inanely fascinating enough...hmmm. I'm not a Libertarian?
I'm a recovering Mormon? I like Sugar Ray? I dunno.

Well, they're good but its The Princess Bride and Great Expectations
for me.

I'm not a Libertarian either - small world!

OK, my turn.
I sleep with my socks on and I like weird food including (but not
limited to) hubbard squash, cooked cabbage, shoe fly pie, pickled
herring (well anything pickled except pigs feet), sour dough
pretzels and I like my food burnt (really, just about anything -
if I fry it I burn it, even my eggs.) But for some reason I
don't like my bacon crispy.

And yes, I like bean curd too - thanks for the recipe Bonnie.
