I think it's a very smartly produced magazine.  Nice feeling pages, information 
that is handier for those of us who aren't on a Martha Budget.  It certainly 
isn't quite as pretty as Martha, but I think it is well done.  The layout is 
crisp & tidy.

sick-o!  I only tear out bits.  and then file them.  and forget about them.  
Although my favourite Company Recipe is from her best of cookbook.   And I just 
used a new one from the pull-out cards the other day.  Red peppers.  yum!
