So yea, I did this thing this morning with this pretty groovy gal, maybe you saw it? And I'm really just too speechless over my day of friends and All Things Martha (YOU ROCK, DEB!) so I'll be back very soon to talk about it.

But in the meantime I've already had a few emails about the recipe I made today on Martha's show. Rather than make you hunt it down I want to direct you to the Martha Stewart web site where you'll find the cookie recipe.

Wow, what an amazing day. Thank you!

Oh, you're keeping up with Martha and her blog, aren't you?

*not worthy!* *not worthy!* :D I’m so happy 4 u :) Wish I had seen the ep :)

We saw it, we saw it! And since we don’t own a TV my brother-in-law was kind enough to let us crash his couch. Great job today! How cool is it that you made alfajores! Yum yum dulce de leche!

You were great! Martha seemed to really enjoy your recipe also. You were so cool and collected as if you’ve been in front of a camera many times.

You did great, so much fun to se.
Congrats

You were so adorable! I would say you were clever — and I am sure you were! — but the bar where I went to watch you had some seriously messed up closed-captioning :D

Manisha September 17, 2008 at 4:05 pm

Congrats!!!

Kevin September 17, 2008 at 4:22 pm

Amazing, so cool! To see that photo is just incredible that you were there! Plus, it looks like she wonders how a Mexican got past security. :-)

Margo September 17, 2008 at 4:41 pm

Congrats, Matt! You were great! Even my friend call and said “He’s a NATURAL!” You seemed very at ease. I think Martha really likes you!! :)

Helen Jane September 17, 2008 at 4:45 pm

I squealed.
I clapped.
I am so proud of you!
And I second Margo’s sentiment, you have a fan in Martha.

jae September 17, 2008 at 5:25 pm

You were terrific. What nerves were you talking about? You really were cool and collected. Congrats!

ruth September 17, 2008 at 5:29 pm

You’re amazing! So happy for you!

Sherry September 17, 2008 at 5:30 pm

Hi Matt. I’ve been following your blog on my google reader for over a year now. (Full disclosure: Your blog design inspired my personal blog’s design.)

It was really neat to see you on Martha’s show! You did great. I was actually in the audience.. But I was so disappointed that we didn’t get to sample any of your cookies! :-( They looked so delicious.

Mrs Ergül September 17, 2008 at 5:31 pm

Way cool! Will I be able to stream the show online? Cuz we don’t have this show here in Singapore :(

Serendipitous Girl September 17, 2008 at 5:46 pm

Congratulations! I just got back from a trip and was at home today and able to catch you! The cookies looked delicious! I’ve been reading your blog for a while and drooling over your photos–it was nice to finally see you in action! And I think I may have used up my quota of exclamation points in this comment, but need one more–Belated congratulations on your marriage, your post brought tears to our eyes at the office!

Jerry September 17, 2008 at 5:52 pm

They still haven’t aired it in my part of the world! I’m going to have to wait for it on FLN tomorrow, Amigo. Sorry.

I bet it was great!

Shenae September 17, 2008 at 6:37 pm

Loved you on the show. You did an awesome job and congrats on being in Martha’s circle. You rock!

helen September 17, 2008 at 6:50 pm

Can someone put it on youtube please? I had a plumbing emergency and missed it.

This is so exciting!

Sarandi September 17, 2008 at 7:07 pm

You rock!

todd September 17, 2008 at 7:30 pm

Hey Matt!

Congrats and I am sooooooo proud of you … now that you’ve cooked with Martha IT IS TIME for you to come cook and teach with us in the Cooking School … can hardly wait to hear the “inside dish” on your day !

Karina September 17, 2008 at 8:01 pm

Kudos! I so want to see it- we have no TV. Hope it’s online soon. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Must have been a serious trip!

Kristen September 17, 2008 at 8:02 pm

I am so bummed that I forgot to TiVO this. What a neat thing for you to be able to do, and from what I understand, rock at. Congrats!!

shelley September 17, 2008 at 9:07 pm

Hi Matt!
I’ve been reading your blog (I follow White on Rice Couple…thats how I found you) for a few weeks and when I read that you were going to be on Martha today, I made sure to set my Tivo. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m looking forward to it! Thats so exciting!! I can’t wait to read all about your experience.
Take care!
Shelley

Pauline September 17, 2008 at 9:29 pm

I love alfajores.

I just decided to get back into the kitchen this weekend (it’s been a long hiatus). Thanks for the inspiration for Sunday’s dessert :)

Chicago Girl September 17, 2008 at 9:35 pm

Is there a link to see it online?

tinap1789 September 17, 2008 at 10:20 pm

Matt,
You were fantastic!!! Loved every minute of your segment on Martha’s show ;o) You seemed so comfortable and confident, way to go!!! How could Martha not be a fan? I liked her suggestion that you write a cookbook… Great job!!!

fanny September 17, 2008 at 10:30 pm

picture me, at 6am, freshly awake with a purpose: try to find the show online so I could watch you.
failed.
but I’m just you were terrific.
xx fanny

Meg September 17, 2008 at 10:46 pm

Hee hee! You weren’t even shaking or nothin! We were all, gah, Matty! There!

zoe / puku September 18, 2008 at 2:23 am

way to go Matt! of course we are martha-less on this side of the globe, but I will keep an eye out for you and your new besties on the internets! :)

Jen - cakegrl September 18, 2008 at 3:55 am

You were terrific! I’m going to give those cookies a try today Matt, thanks for the recipe! Everything you do looks SO wonderful!

Julie September 18, 2008 at 5:46 am

You seemed very relaxed which impressed me. Having to cook in front of Martha while you chatted strikes me as a lot more nerve wracking then just being on television and talking to Martha.

Really fun to see you on television! (And those cookies looked fabulous!)

ColorCodedC September 18, 2008 at 6:00 am

Congratulations…this is so huge!!!

Sara, Ms. Adventures in Italy September 18, 2008 at 6:03 am

Congrats! I was excited to follow your sister’s Tweets while you were on stage :) I hope that we’ll see the segments online for those of us out of the country!

Preston September 18, 2008 at 6:20 am

OMG! Congratulations! You and Martha, like salt & pepper, ham & cheese, pb&j… all right, I’ll stop. It’s way cool though!

LD September 18, 2008 at 6:26 am

Matt, I ran through the episode on tivo last night and I thought you were wonderful! I saw the alfajores on your blog a long time ago and I have always wanted to try them…seeing you make them inspired me and I am going to make them this weekend! Thanks for sharing your love of food and photography with us!

Melanie September 18, 2008 at 7:16 am

Matt you were great on Martha’s Show–I loved the cookie recipe–my friend taped it and I watched it twice–my friend was not familiar with you until yesterday–now she is a fan too.

alexandra's kitchen September 18, 2008 at 8:55 am

I watched the whole thing! You did such a good job. You have such a nice stage presence. And in the company of such a star!? Amazing. Great Job!

Can’t wait to try the cookies, too.
