In a sad but funny moment at the Martha Stewart trial, Martha's secretary interrupted the witchhunt...errr procedures after breaking down while discussing Martha's plum pudding.

Ann Armstrong testified she was in her office Dec. 27, 2001 -- the day of Stewart's now well-known sale of nearly 4,000 shares of ImClone -- and was relaying messages to Stewart, who was flying to Mexico.

Armstrong testified that it was the first time she'd spoken to her boss since Christmas and that she thanked Stewart for her Christmas gift, a plum pudding. Armstrong then broke down crying on the stand and tried to compose herself.

"I gave her the messages," she said. "There weren't many that day."

I wonder how well her cooking will go over with the rest of the cellmates at Attica?
