Lunch April 19th, 2001 @ 2:55 pm PDT

Lunch: Bologna sandwich A Day In The Life of Martha Stewart is fun reading if you aren’t afraid of her. I found the “article” in a parody eZine called Happy Woman, which has some terrific articles, like: Repair Your own Transmission and make 3 1/2 dozen Maple Butter Cookies, Funeral Etiquette Do’s & Don’ts, and […]
