Haven't you often found yourself asking, "What am I going to do for that annual Papal Visit?" The authors of Is Martha Stuart Living answer this provocative question and more in their latest endeavor, Martha Stuart's Better Than You at Entertaining. Voila!-yet another wonderfully tasty spoouffŽ that makes light (and dark) of the woman who turned domesticity into a gravy train.

Whether it's making "Homemade Wine from Water" for Easter or "Truman Compote" for a Fourth of July picnic, Martha has all the answers.

My favorite dish, and the most aesthetically pleasing, is the "Jell-O Aquarium Mold." Envision if you will red fish gummies gingerly arranged around the base of a golden aspic. Therewithin float goldfish crackers, like creatures suspended in amber. The authors, of course, supply directions for homemade gelatin (one small cow needed).
