RE: [GWL]: Martha Baby

In general I'm against all things marketed to the general public (a 
hold-over from my college days I guess) so I hadn't really given the Martha 
concept a serious thought. But then my organization hosted a lecture by 
Margaret Roach, the MS gardening editor. Fabulous. I loved it. Then I 
looked through our "complimentary" issue of the magazine, tried a few of 
the recipes, read some of the articles, especially the plant-related ones. 
It's good practical (although out of my price-range) advice. And she knows 
darn well that we've all figured out those aren't really her hands potting 
up the plants.

p.s. Tried the pan-fried fennel recipe in the Nov. issue. Sounds odd, but 
it's fantastic.

Lon: Re: I know I'll get razzed for defending good, old Martha, our 
favorite
punching doll. If you catch the mag or the TV show there days,  there are a
lot more guests and segments with designers and magazine section editors 
and
other experts (true: sometimes they don't get a word in edgewise), but MS
knows we're not going to believe one person does it all, all the time, esp.
when there's a conglomerate to run...

Perhaps the trouble is that her 15 minutes have turned into years...and
she's so much richer than the rest of us.   ; -)
