Queen Mother Blog

Well I managed to get a couple of "live" blog posts up while I was in the studio for Martha Stewart, but the show taping really flew by fast.  I was able to be in the audience of Conan once and realized that even though these tapings aren't live, they might as well be.  They don't pre-record multiple takes of things; everything just goes really smoothly the first time.

Immediately after taping, I ran to Spice (an NYC Thai eatery) so I could try some Pad Thai for myself.  And immediately after that? I wanted to get home and see my little one :)

I'll get a full Martha recap post up later with pictures!

The next guest, Jeff Blumenkrantz is wearing an apron with a picture of him and Martha on it (his face is super-imposed over Russell Crowe's lol), and it's so cute...you can tell he really is a super-fan.  He is doing a year of cooking through Martha's Cooking School book, a la Julie & Julia.  He is chronicling it all at his blog called Jeff & Martha: My Year of Cooking Fabulously.

Ok, they just cut a slice from a round cake, and Martha had an awesome tip: When you are cutting wedge slices from a round cake, don't serve the first slice, slice up two and remove the second piece. It will come out neat and perfect. Love it!

Next up was just Andrew Ritchie who is another Martha enthusiast.  They just did a really cute card craft project using yarn, that actually looks like a wannabe-crafter like me could actually do.  I'll try to link up to it later...

:) How's this live-blogging going? I don't have a cool widget for chatting like my friend Heather at Penny Pinching Mama, but I think I'm doing pretty well!

I am so multi-tasking challenged that blogging and watching the taping of the Martha Stewart show kind of crashes my brain :) But here I am doing my first-ever live blog post!

Martha Stewart looks amazing, you wouldn't guess on the show that she's wearing some super hot high heels!  The guests on today's show are Alexis Stewart (Martha's daughter!) & Jennifer Koppelman Hutt of Whatever Girls.

Pim Techamuanvivit is from Bangkok and cooked up some Pad Thai that made the whole studio smell amazing, and now I am hungry! (And I'm super stoked to get a free copy of her cookbook, woohoo!)

The next few guests are Jeff Blumenkrantz, Andrew Ritchie, and Briana Campbell.  I'll try to post some more while it tapes, if my ADD brain can handle it :)
