Are you Martha or Maxine?
*Martha's Way* Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream 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.Keeps 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 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's Way * 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'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 andrub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away. *Maxine's Way * Take a lime, mix it with beverage, chill and drink! 'All' your pains go away.
*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 !!!!!!!
