martymas Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Martha's Way versus Maxine's Way --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Martha's Way---Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips. Maxine's Way ---Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake! You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it, anyway!Martha's Way ---To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.Maxine's Way---Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix, keep it in the pantry for up to a year.Martha's Way ---When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.Maxine's Way---Go to the bakery! They'll even decorate it for you. Martha's Way--- If you accidentally oversalt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix-me-up."Maxine's Way---If you oversalt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad. Please recite with me the real woman's motto: "I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes!"Martha's Way---Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.Maxine's Way---Celery? Never heard of it!Martha's Way--- Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.Maxine's Way---The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust so I don't.Martha's Way--- Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.Maxine's Way---Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink!Martha's Way---If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.Maxine's Way---Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.Martha's Way---Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.Maxine's Way---Leftover wine??????????? HELLO !!!!!!!__________________ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
