THere WAS! THere WAS a Mr Stewart!!! I think he was a lawyer. ANd she was a model- Which serves him right. I'm sure he thought he was getting one of those pretty, skinny, and braindead trophies who would greet him at the door in Saran Wrap and lead him to the bedroom, (am I the only women here old enough to remember Maribel Morgan"s Total Woman?) and instead he found himself -- MISTER Martha Stewart, himself wrapped in potpourried tissue, folded neatly, and taken out only when necessary. SHe has a TV show now, too. Today we learned: The next time you open the box of a new appliance, don't toss the instructions and warranty into a drawer, file them in a binder so they're easily found when you most need them. I was stunned. People KEEP warranties? And instructions? My God. WHere's the challenge? What next! Well, what was next--- was a field trip to the Farmers' Museum in Cooperstown, New York, to find out how local artisans create old-fashioned hatboxes!!! I was horrified to realize that my hats all sit on a shelf unboxed. I can't wait to create little wallpapered homes for each of them. How grateful they will be. And THEN- if you were haven't been rushed to the hospital, overcome by excitement, we learned to make Brandade de Morue-- a classic French dish of salted cod, garlic, and potatoes. Like Ammo will eat salted cod? With his tofu? Well, I shall devour it, wearing a hat, and wrapped in appliance warranties.

There was a Mr. Stewart. He is a stockbroker, I think. She's really Polish, her maiden name is not at all WASP-y. Pietrowski. I'm making the name up, but you see the problem. Nobody wants to emulate Martha Pietrowski. Martha Kowalski. Nope. But he didn't go with her decor, so she jettisoned him in the end, once she had more money than he did, probably. <edit>Kostyria, I looked it up. And found the dirt: But not everything was perfect for Martha: her 29-year marriage to Andy Stewart ended in a bitter divorce in 1990, with her husband obtaining a court order to prevent Martha from speaking to him or his family. In 1993, he married Martha's former assistant, who happens to be 21 years his junior. Oh, but there's a happy ending ~ her "companion" ~ Charles Simonyi (Microsoft billionaire).
