Who is the Martha Stewart in Your Family?

Tweet

Does every family have one? Maybe. Maybe not. Do you have a person in your family who takes food and meal preparation to another level. They can't just cook the food. It has to a be work of art!! Martha Stewart is a famous American domestic diva goddess. She has had some competition from the likes of chefs like Sandra Lee. But, truthfully, there is no other celebrity homemaker that can take her place. The MarthaStewart-type in my family was my late aunt, Bernice Johnson. We called her “Aunt Bern”. One day I was watching a TV show and Ms. Stewart was explaining the history behind a certain kind of dishware. These days those particular dishes, since they hearken back to a time many moons ago and are very nostalgic or retro or vintage, are very expensive, but worth buying and keeping in the family to pass down. As part of her explanation, Ms. Stewart displayed a few of the dishes. My eyes popped out of my head! It was such a shock! Unbelievable! They looked just like my Aunt Bern's plates!! UUUGGGG!!! Those plates were valuable???!!! I have no idea what happened to the dishes in my aunt's kitchen cabinet after she passed away. Anyway. Always knew my aunt was a classy lady! Thank you Ms. Stewart for bringing back a wonderful childhood memory.
