Saturday's surprise nor'easter screwed up many people's travel plans, including Martha Stewart who had to skip a Halloween party in NYC on Saturday night because the roads in her Connecticut neighborhood were impassible.
Martha might be able whip up a four-course meal, set the perfect table,all well making a fresh flower arrangement to go with it, but not even she can control Mother Nature. Martha was tracking the big storm on Twitter where she announced she was stranded in Connecticut.]]>
Around this time last year, domestic goddess and noted Louboutin aficionado Martha Stewart waded into Philadelphia's intractable Geno's-vs-Pat's cheesesteak war, declaring that Pat's was "kinda bland" and giving her approval to Geno's. Having experienced a conflict of that magnitude, the celebrity was no doubt ready for this year's Labor Day trip to a part of the world where the battles are almost as heated: Israel.
Stewart spent her weekend in the Holy Land attending her nephew's wedding, scouting locations for an upcoming TV segment, and macrame-ing things (we're just guessing about that last part, though she still does that though, right?)
Her professional judgment on Israel? It's pretty interesting. Pretty interesting indeed.]]>
Now that the cold weather and holidays are on their way, there's no better time to hole up in the house and start some good, old fashioned craft projects, and who better to turn to for advice than Martha Stewart? If you're dying to get up close and personal with Martha this winter, find out how to join her audience below.

Food-loving visitors to Philadelphia always face an eternally difficult question: Whether to get your cheesesteak fix at Geno's or Pat's. Philly natives will talk your ear off about the relative merits of the two legendary meat-and-cheese hawkers, and while it is possible to do both in one meal (they're right across the street from each other), the results won't be pretty.
So when Martha Stewart stopped by Philly to promote her newest cookbook, you know they weren't letting her out of town without having her weigh in on this pressing culinary controversy, and getting her opinion on camera.
Martha, shockingly, claims she has never even tried a Philly cheesesteak before. Or maybe it's not so shocking, given the disdain with which she examines the gooey cheese whiz and soggy onions.
The verdict: Martha majorly hates on Pat's, saying their offering is "kinda bland," and "maybe they forgot the salt and pepper." Geno's, however, gets the thumbs up from the domestic goddess.
Argument settled?
