Martha Stewart; I don’t often get the opportunity to watch your show on TV. However the other day I watched part of your Anniversary show. As you were reminiscing so was I.. I lived at 100 Elm place in Nutley. You may remember my husband’s family name of “Samara”, Peerless Stationery, on Franklin Ave. was owned by my in-laws.
I remember your Dad working in his garden. My children were small and he would always make sure they didn’t go on his lawn or his flowers when they rode their bikes up and down the street. I currently own 19 of your books including Entertaining; However I like the Introduction of your book “Pies & Tarts” because it mentions you growing up on Elm Place in Nutley. I remember that your Mother, who was a friend of my mother-in-law, brought this book in to her and she was anxious to show it to me. Although I did not grow up on Elm place, I was happy raising my 4 children there. And some of the families you mentioned still lived there, or their children bought their homes. I think I saw you one time painting the front door of your parents home. Time goes by and people pass, but we still have many happy memories of Nutley.

Stewart, wonderful! It is a pity that I missed this show on TV. You know, she is one of my heros. How knowledgable she is. I think even she knows how to do everything! It seems that everything she writes and shows works wonders. I guess that is why she is so popular and rich. I am a homemaker and I love her recipes very much. Rcently I will give a small dinner party for my neighborshers, fortunately, I found one of her books--"Martha Stewart's Menus for Entertaining" : http://dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=72897 , it seems fantastic. I am sure that this one will help me a lot. Then I will get a lot of praise from my guests. Perhaps in future I would become a good gastronomist just like her. Who knows! Huh, love her!
