>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 and keep it in the pantry for up to a

>
>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

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

They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

>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?
