One of my Biggest indulgences every month
besides my devoted Living Mag from Martha Stewart
and Pistachio macaroons (OK that's more like an
every week indulgence) is the Town&Country
magazine. I love love reading these articles, yes even
more than reading and highlighting my recipes.

In the February issue was a fabulous article called
The Wisdom of Muffie from the perspective of her daughter
Wentworth. She is so fun and witty, i found myself
laughing out loud quite a few times.
here are some of my favorite lines from the article :
here are some of my favorite lines from the article :
"My mother fought for civil rights, campaigned for all the Kennedy brothers, and yet served as Nancy Reagan's social secretary in the White house. She has helped alcoholic friends get sober by walking them up and down the beaches of Cape Cod. She played Monopoly on the carpet with financial tycoons,and won. She never wears makeup but always has impeccably manicured toes. Her favorite lunch is sliced tomatoes on bread, deviled eggs and Lipton iced tea. You can bribe her into anything if you can produce a hot fudge sundae. The only things my mother can cook are English muffins and Creme caramel. She will choose a bath over a shower; a play over a movie; and the ocean over a pool. She has saved herself from intense pain in her life with strong, pulled-up bootstraps and terrifying organizational skills. My mother has givenchy gowns in the closet next to frayed evening jackets she scored at Goodwill.
She didn't grow up in the age of private planes, Pilate's instructors, and hiring Ke$ha to play at birthday parties. During the summers in Plymouth (William Bradford, captain of the Mayflower, was our ancestor), she would ditch her Nancy Reagan coif and sparkling caftans, exchanging them for
JC-Penny T-shirts and tennis skirts."
