I didn't believe her for a minute. When she's all alone in one of her many houses, just Martha and the doggies, she probably makes a big dish of Jello, slathers Cool Whip all over, just sticks her face right in and starts slurping. It's a good thing.

I saw that picture of her at the flea market and I totally agree with you. I have a great recipe for a frozen Cool Whip desert that my mom used to make when we were kids. I don't even know what it's called, we just always call it "that cool whip desert." I don't have it handy but let me see if I can remember it off the top of my head, it's really easy.

Pink Cool Whip Desert
1 bar of cream cheese (not fat free, for some reason it makes it taste weird, reduced fat is okay)
1 table spoon mayo
1 tub of cool whip (8 ounce?)
1 small jar marachino cherries
1 can pineapple tidbits drained
1/2 bag of the multi-colored mini-marshmallows

Cream the cream cheese then add mayo and 2 teaspoons of cherry juice (or more as desired). Mix in the cherries, pineapple, and half bag of mini-marshmallows. Mix thoroughly. Last add in Cool-Whip. (None of the measurements are set in stone and can be adjusted to your taste. I like to add extra cherries and reduce the pineapple, but that's just me.) Can be either poured into a jello mold and frozen over night or chilled and served as a desert salad. Personally, I like it as a desert salad, it gets really hard when it's frozen and kind of hard to eat.

OMG - too funny on Martha's cool whipping it. Thanks for the mental picture. ;-)

ROTFL at the mental pic of Martha with her face in a bowl of Jello and Cool Whip!!
