A New Respect for Martha Stewart

[swarfrat]

.... always liked Martha. Def. Like her better than Paula Dean. ....

I always liked Bugsy Siegel better than Al Capone. Bugsy was a snappier dresser.

I'm trying to picture flushing a toilet with your foot, not a pretty picture, gives me a backache just thinking about it :- )

Seen a lot of guys do it. Doesn't look too tough.

Flushing a urinal, that take some flexibility. (And yes, I've seen that done too.)

remember she owned her own catering company for years and did all the cooking. she knows how to handle knives and take care of them.

Saw this on utube -

Also saw a segment on tv where Nobu shows Martha how he sharpens and cleans his knives - unable to find that on utube - yet.

I just saw the video with Marth and Nobu making Sushi. Unless i'm mistaken, arent they using Shuns? 3:33 Going back to my original comment. Martha aint no Japanese knife expert.

I think it's legit. What would she gain by pretending she likes Japanese knives, other than a very small collection of people being impressed? Realistically, a lie is just too hard to keep going, and the benefit would be so small that it wouldn't be worth the headache.

I agree. I also know she's been to Japan many times and she's surprisingly knowledgable about random Japanese kitchenware.

I don't think anyone is saying she was a Japanese Knife expert, just that she owns and probably uses Japanese knives (and other Japanese cookware too I guess).

And as for the knives on the show, they are often paid/sponsored product placements on TV shows. Just saying.

Drinky, I hear ya. I'm only having fun with it. Would not surprise me if she was an expert on J-Knives.

random Japanese

I'm not sure those words go together

Mostly Wusthofs, one Nakiri that gets a half hearted tomato test , think there are some other vids flexing her knife skills - here

On another forum I work on there was a " who would you want to be stuck on a tropical island with" thread.
All the kids were posting the latest young movie stars and "film" stars. I posted that I would want to be on the island with Martha. When the laughter stopped I made a pretty good case for it. My tastefully decorated hut, fish and fowl prepared with care ect ect. Win win.irate1:

I imagine she would be incredibly calm under pressure, too. Being a convict and all.
