Talking Martha's Way versus Maxine's Way

Martha refers to Martha Stewart, Maxine is an elderly comic strip character with attitude


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!


To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix, keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

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.

Go to the bakery! They'll even decorate it for you.

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".

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!"

Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

Celery? Never heard of it!

Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.

The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust so I don't.

Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink!

If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.

Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.


Leftover wine???????????
HELLO !!!!!!!

Oh, is that where all my limes went? no, they went into my rum and cokes and rye and gingers...

Personal experience?

I'd rather have whisky, but I totally agree with this.

Nope, no experience re: the neighbour, I just ask my cute SO

Indeed... leftover wine is an utterly alien concept to me
I drink whiskey too, but it depends on the occasion, weather etc.

Actually.. it is grey and drippy out right now.. a good single malt would go quite nicely

no friggin' way, I totally miss Crabby Road. The Sun Sentinel and Miami Herald (the only two papers my parents get) stopped showing it so they could show some crappy comics instead.

I think it means that if you have many disappointments in life, you're not likely to have leftover wine.

I, myself, am not a wine drinker. But I am frequently out of alcohol of all kinds.

I'm quite happy with life, and never have left over wine. Hmm, might be why I'm happy

I have my ups and downs... but regardless of the phase I'm at, I never have left over wine....
Not sure what that means

Well, obviously it means we're raging alcoholics

I'd say it was the result of the cold climate.. but in my case it just gets dank and grey at this time of the year...
Though...red wine *does* certainly have a cheering effect..
As did the Guinness I was quaffing earlier
