Are you Martha or Maxine ?




MARTHA: Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream cone to prevent ice cream drips.
MAXINE: 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: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
MAXINE: Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix. Keeps in the pantry for up to a year.

MARTHA: 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: Go to the bakery! Hell, they'll even decorate it for you!

MARTHA: If you accidentally over-salt 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: If you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad. Please recite with me the real woman's motto: 'I made it, you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes!'

MARTHA: Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
MAXINE: Celery? Never heard of it!

MARTHA: Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
MAXINE: The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust, so I don't.

MARTHA: Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
MAXINE: Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink! All your pains go away!

MARTHA: If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish washing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
MAXINE: Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.

MARTHA: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
MAXINE: Leftover wine??????????? HELLO!!!!!!!

Ha! Good point.:wink:
But I did make my own baby food from scratch and froze it in ice cube trays.
I also put a quartered lemon inside my roaster chicken before baking.
For marinade, I add vinegar or wine to salad dressings.

Ya know, Martha-ish like that??? laugh

But I bake those cookies you can break and toss on the cookie sheet. And I don't have marshmellows to put in an ice cream cone because if I have marshmellows I eat them right out of the bag while watching Dr. Phil....:banana:
