So there she was yesterday at 5:30 roaming from store to store. Was I the only one who recognized her? I stood to the side and watched her shop. Looking like all the other upper middle class, well-coiffed women who frequent the Ferry Building Marketplace, she seemed to be enjoying her casual stroll. And she looked great: blue blazer, khaki slacks, wedge sandals and no purse. Yes, no purse. I am concerned by this. Where does Martha stow her lipstick? Does she just walk around with a credit card in her pocket? Too bad she wasn't there on Saturday. We could have set her on the trail of the Man in Madras. Now that would be interesting. Martha Stewart reinvented as Nancy Drew. Which in a way she is. She is my generation's version of the intrepid Titian haired ingenue who always gets to the bottom of things. No nonsense. Case solved.

This column keeps getting better and better. I look forward to each new and unknown piece of information or story. I bought the Fantasia recipe book even though I have no intention of trying to tackle the desserts. I've given several as gifts hoping the recepient will bake me a thank you.

Martha was also looking good standing in line -- just like all of us regular folk -- at Tartine on Saturday morning.
