Martha, Martha, Martha!!


So my new latest favorite thing - is the new Martha Stewart 'Apprentice' show! I am quite suprised at myself really! I think Carl is too. I'm not really a big fan of anything except football, these days. But for some reason I love this show! I love the challenges! The only guy I don't like - is this Jim guy. I think he should have been 'let go' tonight, but the other girl should have taken the sales part away from him and that's why Martha decided to let her go. Jim is a time bomb, but like Carl said I think they are making him out to be the male version of Omarosa from the Apprentice, his exit will have more drama I'm sure. Unless that's not Martha's thing?!
But I'm really liking Martha Stewart, it's nice to see her from a different view. She is actually being very open and very fascinating. I never really had an opinion of her before, I didn't see what all the hype was about! She's even talked a little bit about her prison experience and that has suprised me too. I have been pleasantly suprised and that's a good thing! HA HA! LOL! Okay that was cheesy!

So after my crazy shift of 11-7, and helping Michelle close the store, I still had to go to the grocery store, fix dinner, iron and make cookies for Carls work tomorrow. We got home just as Martha had started. So I made dinner, then started the cookies. I was sorta bummed, last week, my chocolate chip cookies were almost Martha approval, they were light and fluffy, except that I accidently made them with dark choc instead of milk chocolate! So tonight I thought I would try using real butter. So I bought Tillamook Butter the best stuff, I thought that would make a difference. But NO! That's a big fat NO! Now I am convinced that the trick to the best cookies is Shortening (which I used last time w/butter) and refrigerating the dough before I bake! I think I need to go to baking school! Oh but I got everything I needed to by 10pm! And I'm off tomorrow!!
