I'm a little peeved at Martha right now. I guess my problem is minimal compared to hers, but she sure ticked me off.

I have been making her Maple Bourbon Pecan Pie for years. My sister asked for the recipe this year. I had it in a Word doc that, for some reason, she couldn't get in her email. So I told her to go to the website and print it from there. I then sent her an email with all my notes and small changes based on my own experience with the recipe.

Pie in oven, she called this morning with some questions and nothing was making sense. I finally went to the web site, found the recipe by the exact same name, and darn if it wasn't a different recipe! Somewhere over the years they've changed it. Very different ingredients! And the cooking instructions were totally different. So, of course, the personal notes I'd sent along were confusing her even more!

It made me mad that I've been directing people to that recipe on her website with my personal endorsement. They should have changed the name when they changed the recipe or at least put up a note that it had changed. I hope her pie is good...I'm sure it will be. But it's NOT the pie I endorsed and that's embarassing.

I sent Martha Stewart Living a "tart" little note.
