Rototilling and Preparing the Vegetable Gardens for Planting

The vegetable gardens at my Bedford, New York farm are ready for planting.

Having a really good vegetable garden where I can grow lots of fresh, delicious, and nutritious produce is extremely important to me. I share the vegetables with my daughter, my grandchildren, as well as other relatives and friends. Every year, we spend a lot of time preparing the soil for planting - tilling the earth, adding natural fertilizers, and building raised, well-aerated beds.

The White House Correspondents' Association Dinner 2022

More than 2600 people were in attendance at this year’s annual Dinner of the White House Correspondents’ Association in Washington, D.C. This Association, WHCA, is an organization of journalists who cover the White House and the President of the United States.

The first WHCA Dinner was held in 1921. It is traditionally held during the last weekend of April. 16 presidents have attended at least one Dinner beginning with Calvin Coolidge in 1924. I’ve attended several over the years and always enjoy seeing other celebrities, politicians, public figures, and media personalities.

Here are some photos of the event and around DC, enjoy.

A Cinco de Mayo Party with Baccarat and Casa Dragones

I hope you all had a festive and enjoyable Cinco de Mayo!

Yesterday, I hosted a lovely Cinco de Mayo party here at my Bedford, New York farm. The event celebrated my exciting partnership with Baccarat. Together, we created a timeless Collection of exquisite crystal pieces including goblets, tumblers, a pitcher, and an ice bucket. To toast the launch of this new line, we worked with Casa Dragones tequila to offer more than 20 media professionals and influencers my delicious "Martha-ritas." My friend, Chef Pierre Schaedelin of PS Tailored Events and I planned a tasty menu of bites including tacos, quesadillas, and tamales. We also set a buffet table of chips, salsa, and guacamole using Martha Stewart products from Martha.com. It was a fun time for everyone.
