30 Things from Martha Stewart
While I find Martha Stewart formal and seemingly strict, you gotta admit she is a domestic genius. Never mind if she seems like the type who’d scream at you if your souffle falls. In 2006 she released her list of 30 Things Everyone Should Know. After surfing the net, I finally found the list and am sharing it with you:
1. Create a home safety kit.
2. Tie a bow and necktie.
3. Prepare a green salad.
4. Mix a margarita
5. Paint a room.
6. Do the laundry.
7. Load a dishwasher.
8. Make a bologuese sauce.
9. Open a champange bottle.
10. Eat a lobster.
11. Make chocolate chip cookies.
12. Arrange flowers.
13. Take a good photograph.
14. Remove stains from linens and clothes.
15. Carve a turkey.
16. Prepare a turkey.
17. Iron a shirt.
18. Design a centerpiece.
19. Brew a cup of tea.
20. Make a grilled cheese sandwich.
21. Make a bed.
22. Set a table (formal).
23. Make french toast.
24. The perfect omelette.
25. Cook fluffy rice.
26. Bake a chocolate cake.
27. Assemble a BLT.
28. Pack a suitcase.
29. Prepare pancakes.
30. Make crudites (fresh crispy vegetables).
If you’d like to learn how to go about a particular item in detail, you can search for it on her site. She recently released an additional 20 Things Everyone Should Know. If anyone has that list, send them this way!
How do you measure up to Martha Stewart’s list?
I only know how to do 6 things here with confidence. I’m not telling you which ones!

So far, I’ve done 11. But some out of those eleven things still need plenty of practice. Thanks for sharing!

I remember when her episodes focused on the 30 Things. While most are helpful (emergency kit, crudites, cleaning, etc) the rest are detail-oriented and time-consuming!

can’t do this.. YET
will eventually do them and will keep these in mind:
1. Create a home safety kit. (what the heck is a home safety kit? i’ve got bandaids and alcohol.. is that enough?)
2. Tie a bow and necktie. (for the life of me, can’t do this!!!)
9. Open a champange bottle. (i love wine, i love alcoholic stuff, but i’m so afraid of opening champagnes.. i fear about abnormal bottle breaking or popping!)
23. Make french toast. (doesn’ appeal to me yet eh)
24. The perfect omelette. (i like scrambbled eggs that’s why)
