    What are grape tomatoes? Are they anything like cherry tomatoes?

    @Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: Might be too late for you to see this, but they're smaller than cherry tomatoes, shaped more like grapes (more oval instead of round) and much, much sweeter. I don't like them -- I want my tomatoes to taste like tomatoes, not a semi-fruit.


    I actually got in an argument with someone once who insisted cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes were the same thing. I took them to the grocery store to prove the difference.

    Well it sure is nice Martha found something as cute as cupcakes to distract her from that former idea she had about doing a project for prison reform.

    I'm hoping the frosting cupcake made by Jane Pratt & child will scare straight my sister who has been known to run an index finger all the way around the cake.

    Why is there such a thing for cupcakes, anyway?


    It seems like another sign of collective infantilization.

    @Smitros: Because when you get a really great cupcake, it is the perfect portion size so you don't feel the guilt that is attendant to knowing you "accidentally" sliced yourself the largest piece of cake, and the frosting-to-cake ratio is far superior to any cake slice, even if you are lucky enough to get the one with the flower. Really, if I have to explain the joy of cupcakes to you, it means you have never had a good one. I suggest Sugar Sweet Sunshine or Billy's Bakery. Or a good hooker.

    Option three is out, for a variety of good reasons, but I may have to try options one and two.


    Any cupcakes I have, though, will need to look like themselves rather than hamburgers.

    @misslinda: I agree, must have major frosting-to-cake ratio. Crumbs in NYC is the best I've had, so far. It is my intention to try them in every city, just to be well informed.

    @secretagentman: I do like my icing, but not piled too high. More than you get on a cake but not so much that you don't get the cake taste with every bite. If you're eating Crumbs cupcakes, you're missing out. Crumbs are good, but they're too big and a bit dry. And I hate Cupcake Cafe, I wouldn't eat one of those if it was the last cupcake on earth. Magnolia are also feh. My all time favorite are Sugar Sweet Sunshine--the classic Sunshine, and if I'm getting myself an extra, then a Black and White or an Ooey Gooey. They taste like a cupcake is supposed to taste, they look like a cupcake is supposed to look, only it's like an adult version. I can't explain it, you just have to see for yourself. Don't get the red velvet. If you want red velvet cake, you have to go to Cakeman Raven in Brooklyn, nothing else will suffice. And no, I'm not a biscuit short of 300lbs!

    @Smitros: I think it's the perfect snack for people who want portion control and/or don't like to share.


    And, yes, I agree about the infantilization of our culture. When we all get a flower of our own, we definitely feel pampered.

    I think Martha issues these challenges to her devotees in order to experience the perverse thrill of their cupcake projects being so far inferior to her own. These are not Martha level cupcakes. And if Martha says you will eat meat cupcakes, you will eat meat cupcakes.


    On a side note.... has anyone else noticed the undeniable sexual chemistry between Martha and Dave when she appears on Letterman?

    Love the first blue top, and black with plaid skirt is a classic. But I'm a fanboy, not a fashion expert. (Where's Patricia when you need her?)


    And no one has mentioned Lesley Stahl's bizarre question/comments:


    LESLEY: Can you believe this? We are so chemical, all of us. We are so chemical. The conscious brain hardly works at all, really...


    LESLEY: Well, you go into almost any geek place, and they're not dressed like you. I see you as a kindred spirit to me in this, because I think you're a girly girl. You love nice clothes, you care about your shoes; you probably have dangly earrings like mine. I don't know...


    LESLEY: It makes all the sense. I'm just looking at an ad on my TV for the new iPhone, the new one that's so tiny, tiny, skinny, skinny, skinny, as you're talking about this. And I understand that. But I think that it's perhaps a new thing, I don't know, for people who go to MIT and come out of computer science, to develop or be allowed to develop a love of art, a love of pretty things.


    Is there a video? Does Lesley braid Marissa's hair? I wanna see it!
