Are you a Martha or Maxine?


Well, it's FRIDAY! Today, I am not posting a recipe, but some helpful hints in the form of HUMOR! I love Martha Stewart & Maxine (the hallmark character!) I love this comparison. I believe I am probably a Martha in most instances, but in a few, I'd be a Maxine! Enjoy and have a great weekend! Sharon

Martha: Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar 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 , keep it 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! They'll even decorate it for you.

Martha: 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: 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: 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!

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