Don't forget to make your own cellophane and your own ribbons with home-grown hemp so you can bundle them up into little packages. And then make little tags for them using your letterpress machine. Presentation is everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-203271 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 12:49:37 +0000 MsLipGloss 203271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsJacks: *Starting*? You are a patient soul! :)</p> <p>@MrBee: Perfectionism can be a form of psychological disorder . . . just sayin' :P</p> <p>@Lozza: LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-203238 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 12:25:52 +0000 Lozza 203238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope you grew your own quinoa. I'm sure it doesn't taste as good if you use store-bought. Martha shudders at the thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-203168 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:38:34 +0000 Honeybee 203168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, I'm so impressed with your dedication! I would have made fruit popsicles and been done in about 15 minutes. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-202838 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 07:21:26 +0000 heffalump 202838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Martha .... but sometimes she says things like "make sure you use fresh eggs. It's so easy to have a chicken coop and they taste so much better. " Yes, it's easy when you can pay for someone to take care of the chickens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-202835 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 07:16:22 +0000 Andrea 202835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@candybar: I figure that she can't possibly make everything coming out of her empire! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-202829 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 07:04:17 +0000 smith 202829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I always wonder if Martha actually makes the recipes herself...though for that kind of money, I'd happily add extra fancy steps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-202821 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 06:47:26 +0000 Andrea 202821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe she's never even made them herself? :-)</p> <p>I was just reading her magazine and they were detailing her daily skin care regime. It was kind of ridiculous and full of products from Chanel. Not very helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-202681 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 20:23:09 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 202681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I don't know. She told me to do this in a rimmed baking sheet, but there weren't enough wet ingredients for them to hold together well, so now they are crumbly from lifting them out of the rimmed pan. Luckily I figured that out with the first batch and did the rest on a flat cookie sheet and the others came out beautifully!</p> <p>There's probably a method to her madness, but at 7:30 pm after making two batches of her quinoa clusters, I probably just want to be steamed :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-202679 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 20:20:41 +0000 mrbee 202679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Martha is just a perfectionist. I bet her recipes do end up tasting better than the simplified versions! But they aren't necessarily realistic for the average working parent... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-202677 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 20:14:54 +0000 Sprite 202677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: that wouldn't surprise me a bit! She's got to be getting a kick out of making things overly difficult for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-202673 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 20:10:57 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 202673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sprite: I just think she gets a sick pleasure thinking of all of our wasted time and energy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-202669 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 20:06:55 +0000 Sprite 202669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I've ever made a Martha recipe or craft project where I didn't scratch my head at all the unnecessary steps. And then simplified it my own way!</p> <p>I wonder if her advertisers pay her based on the number of steps in each tutorial? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-202660 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 19:51:17 +0000 Navy_Mommy 202660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahahaha. This made me lol.</p> <p>I &lt;3 Martha though. I dream of being the next Martha Stewart only if I wouldn't get caught if I was insider trading... ;-)</p> <p>ETA - I used to work in Compliance for an Investment Firm. I just realized that wouldn't really make sense to people who didn;t know me IRL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-starting-to-think-that-martha-stewart-hates-women#post-202658 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 19:44:36 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 202658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's Lala's turn to bring snack to school, so I decided on a healthy snack of Quinoa clusters. I found a yummy recipe on Martha Stewart's site, and I've got to say she must take great pleasure in torturing women. The way the recipe is written, you have to toast 3 individual components and one of them twice before you combine ingredients... and she wants you to mince apricots.</p> <p>Holy messy and inconvenient recipe! I simplified it by toasting all the ingredients together and shaved like an hour off the time.</p> <p>The whole time I was just thinking how Martha probably fell asleep at night giggling at the various tortures that she visits on us :)</p> <p>Snack will be delicious if this experiment works! </p>
