Yikes, Martha!
Do not miss Friend of Rant Jeff Gillman’s hilarious appearance on The Martha Stewart Show.
Can I just say that I love Martha and have always loved her for this surprising candor, which she’s demonstrated a million times? (Though not necessarily when questioned about ImClone.) Now I love her for having discovered how terrific Jeff is–the guy who debunks all the cobwebby superstitions in the gardening lore and translates actual proven science into a form English majors can understand.

I love Martha, too. That was too funny. I’m glad I have the Tivo set up to record her show—I’ll definitely be sure to watch this episode!
I need to DVR her show… I buy her magazine every once in awhile and it’s always packed full of interesting stuff.
Oh, and it made it onto eOnline’s The Soup, too:

Love her.
Love it!!! Seriously, thank you Martha for taking the bullet on this one and warning the rest of us off.
Brilliant! I hope they give Jeff a regular slot!
Thanks. I needed that
Oh Martha, I love your new loosened-up jailbird persona!
And now I have yet one more experience in common with Miss Martha!
For me it was the Thai peppers (and that ain’t pronounced “thigh”) that we used in a pasta sauce lo so many years ago. We just used two, and I was the chopper.
Lest I overshare for the queasy, stop reading here.
If you’re still with me, I had to deal with delicate feminine hygiene matters, as those of us of the female persuasion must from time to time. Well, if we’re lucky, on a regular basis.
Anyhow, hip to the possible drawbacks of the Thai Pepper/labial interface, and having carefully washed my hands, just a mild stinging on the tips of my fingers lingered…
I quickly dispatched with the female business in order to get back to my guests. And then-the burning!
The highlight of the evening was being chased around the living room as I wailed in pain, laughing and crying at the same time, pursued by a potential suitor waving a huge vat of plain yogurt and insisting that I remove my pants immediately.
Good times, good times…
Plantanista, that is the funniest story I’ve ever heard.
Thanks Plantanista. At first I really didn’t get how she could have experienced this and then … I could see the possibilities.
Ah, that explains all. Thanks for enlightening all of us.~~Dee
