Several of my favorite recipes are Martha Stewart recipes (I have 3 or 4 of her cookbooks). I was never put off by her perfectionism, instead I used what I could of her almost limitless fantastic ideas. I thought the whole insider trading thing (and prison sentence) was ridiculous.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885834933978634106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-31062583324536145112015-04-08T20:35:32.207-05:002015-04-08T20:35:32.207-05:00I thought she was also and then I read a few bad t...I thought she was also and then I read a few bad things about how she treated people.

If she felt like doing something, she just went ahead and did it. Despite the stock thing, her willingness to step out of her comfort zone and just do what she loved always seemed to put her several steps ahead of others in her various fields. <br /><br />Admit it - no one saw that Martha Stewart & Snoop Dogg Episode coming :-D We can learn from her huge mistake, but more importantly, from her guts and will to follow her passions.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />AlexanderAlexander Vasquezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350778374525502158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-47119576516681550352015-03-17T11:55:57.931-05:002015-03-17T11:55:57.931-05:00Thank you for your comment!
