The domestic darling of the century is, in fact, just like everyone else when it comes to taking bad food photos. This became very apparent yesterday when she tweeted some unappealing photos from a meal. Try not to judge her too harshly.

Worse than the photos themselves, of course, are the comments. What shocks people most, I think, is the fact that even in her craziest moments, she is flawless. Take, for example, the whole broken iPad thing a couple months ago where Martha shared her rage on Twitter. Even then, she was talking about something bougie enough that people laughed it off.

These rather unappealing food photos prove it, however: Martha Stewart – she’s just like us! Here are some of the worst photos she posted to Twitter:

1. Iceberg Wedge with Russian Dressing
