BUZZWORTHY To be considered for Buzzworthy, contact Cindy Schweich Handler at [email protected] Short Hills Livingston MARTHA MACCALLUM, anchor and executive editor of The Story with Martha MacCallum on Fox News Channel, will be at Indigo, the bookstore in the Mall at Short Hills, to read and sign copies of her just-published Unknown Valor. The book pays tribute to the heroic men who gave their lives defeating Japanese forces at Iwo Jima — among them, Harry Gray, a member of her own family. Copies of the book will be available for purchase ($28). Since joining Fox News in 2004, MacCallum has inter- viewed high-profile public figures who served in the military, including John McCain and General David Petraeus. When Livingston resi- dent Joanna Lander’s first son turned 1, she baked and decorated 100 bow and bowtie cookies in every color. The experience gave way to a family tradition, and seven years later, a busi- ness. IN THE MIX BY JOANNA provides hand- rolled and decorated, fully customized cookies and choco- late chip cookie cakes for all occasions. Orders are placed by the dozen, as platters or individually wrapped cookies (the latter most commonly for party favors), and can be inspired by provided photos. To date, she has sold and shipped over 6,000 cookies nationwide. In the Mix cookies are also available online at Seymour’s Deli in Livingston, The Messy Artist in East Hanover and Beebeedesigns.com. Prices range from $45 to $65 per dozen; orders require about a week to fill. • For more information, email [email protected]. PERSONALIZED COOKIE CREATIONS MARCH 22 2 P.M.
