Anyhoo, here's what Lazy Jenn sent-
Martha says: Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream cone to prevent ice cream drips.
I say: 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 says: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
I say: Buy mashed potato mix. Keeps in the pantry for up to a year.
-
Martha says: 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.
I say:Go to the bakery! Hell, they'll even decorate it for you!
-
Martha says: 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.'
I say: 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!'
-
Martha says: Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
I say:Celery? Never heard of it!
-
Martha says: Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
I say: The frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust, so I don't.
-
Martha says: Cure for headaches = take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
I say: Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink! All your pains go away!
-
Martha says: If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish washing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
I say: Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.
-
Martha says: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
I say: Leftover wine??????????? HELLO!!!!!!
