AceShowbiz - Martha Stewart isn't going to skip this year's Thanksgiving after all. The lifestyle guru took to her Instagram account to clarify her remarks during her recent appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show", where she claimed that she "gave up Thanksgiving."
"It's not true that I gave up Thanksgiving!" Martha wrote on Tuesday, November 21. She further explained, "What I cancelled was the planned gathering at my house due to guest cancellations and travel plans!"
Martha also revealed that she was still "prepping to bake thirty pies" and making a "stuffed and roasted 20-pound organic, heritage bird" for a friend's Thanksgiving party. She also shared, "I am baking lemon tarts, cranberry tarts, chocolate pecan pies, pecan pies and pumpkin pies. Matt made a fun pie pie chart to show me statistically what my staff wants to enjoy this year."
In another post, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model treated her Instagram followers to a glimpse of pies she had baked for her friends and family for the holiday. "Finally finished two day pie marathon!!! Baked thirty pies Lemon curd, pecan, chocolate pecan, pumpkin and cranberry I haven't tasted any of them yet but tomorrow I will report on taste and texture and appearance," the businesswoman wrote in the caption.
Martha's Instagram posts came after she revealed that she called off her Thanksgiving plans after "somebody got sick." The 82-year-old TV star said on "The Kelly Clarkson Show", "I gave up Thanksgiving. I canceled. Nine guests canceled because somebody got sick. So ... I called up my chef friend and I said, 'We're not doing Thanksgiving.' "
She also shared that she had enough turkey after "cooking 14 turkeys already for my TV show." Not stopping there, she further told host Kelly Clarkson, "I still have to [cook] one more turkey on the 'Today' show. So forget it. I'm turkeyed out."
Instead, Martha revealed that she was planning to go "to about five different homes to taste different courses." The "Stronger" singer then joked, "Those friends must be so stressed out."
