Coming Soon: Martha Stewart frozen foods

Martha StewartCome on, you just knew that this was going to happen sooner or later: Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia has reached a deal with Costco to offer frozen and fresh refrigerated foods for customers. The items will start showing up in Costco locations in 2008.

This article makes a good point about how this will affect Martha Stewart's image. It's one thing for Martha to tell us how to make neat crafts and how to clean our homes and where to vacation and how to decorate, and give us recipes and kitchen tips, but what if we try these foods -- foods that the company has made, supposedly -- and we don't like them, or they're just "typical grocery food?" As the piece says, drapes and paints cannot spoil in the refrigerator."

But they'll probably be fine. But I wonder what foods she'll offer? Probably something a little fancier than corn dogs and Salisbury steak.

I am sure any foods that Martha puts her name on will be those picked at the height of their freshness, flash frozen and downright yummy when cooked ( or steamed) according to directions. Martha is also very aware of nutritional values of foods and of foods that may be newer to the market. They would probably be higher in price if they were not offered at Costco. Martha is a perfectionist and any product with her name on it, will be exceptional. And that, dear friends, IS a good thing. Can you tell that I like Martha..... ???

She's got a great gift and shares it to make our lives more interesting. Thanks for being there for the many women who may not have time to sit and think about anything other than a home full of children. Martha Stewart....is a 10!

Certainly money contributes, but why not compliment the Woman who had already acheived success and financial independence, before she turned away from a glamourous life to embrace..of all things...housework.
