Even Martha Stewart has her off days. The 83-year-old home expert wowed everyone when she revealed she spent two days crafting 35 pies for Thanksgiving; however, she made a significant blunder. Stewart showcased her efforts on Thursday, Nov. 28, posting several images of over three dozen pies she had prepared before her festive gathering.
The culinary queen created a variety of flavors, including chocolate pecan, pumpkin, apple crumb, and more. Placing the freshly baked treats on her kitchen countertop, a proud Stewart held up one of her beloved Chows and smiled at her hard work.
“Total pies baked 35,” she began her caption on Instagram, listing all the delicious flavors. “Chocolate pecan, brown butter maple rum pecan, pumpkin phyllo, apple crumb, and cranberry!” Stewart boasted. She also detailed all the ingredients it took to make the pies — and with current grocery prices, it likely cost the lifestyle guru a fortune.
“Took two days, 100 eggs, 14 pounds pecan halves, eleven jars Karo syrup, 25 pounds heckers flour, thirty pounds plugra butter, six cups maple syrup, 60 ounces pumpkin puree, 18 cups fresh cranberries, etc,” Stewart explained. However, the first self-made female billionaire in the United States made one crucial error while baking.
“I used three big ovens which are a mess now because I stupidly forgot to place cookie sheets under some of the pies which bubbled and oozed everywhere,” Stewart admitted. The mistake didn’t ruin the outcome, though, as she concluded by telling her 2.4 million Instagram followers, “The pies are delicious!”
Stewart has been making headlines for her Netflix documentary, “Martha,” after it dropped on the streaming site on Oct. 30. In the RJ Cutler-directed doc, which she has since labeled “lousy,” the “Martha Stewart Living” founder criticized The Post’s Andrea Peyser over her 2004 conspiracy trial coverage.
Stewart even boasted that Peyser was dead — a statement that is not true. “New York Post lady was there,” Stewart sneered in the doc, “just looking so smug. She had written horrible things during the entire trial. But she is dead now, thank goodness. And nobody has to put up with the crap she was writing all the time.” However, Peyser — who is still alive — hit back, writing an iconic piece titled, “Hey Martha Stewart, you gloated about the death of a Post columnist — but I’m alive, bitch!”
Stewart was forced to address her error during a Conference for Women event in Philadelphia later that day. “She wrote this very scathing article today,” Stewart bemoaned to the crowd, “in the New York Post — my favorite newspaper.”
