Are you a Maxine or a Martha?

Hi, Gang... Auntie's "Gotta Laugh" e-mail just came through... Sharing it with U! Ro Subject: Are you a Maxine or a Martha? Just a little something to make U think about who U want to be for 08' ha ha Are you a Martha or a Maxine? *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. Keep's 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, 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! 'All' your pains go away. ***************************************** 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 !!!!!!! Maxine reminds U... As usual, if you don't forward this to 1 of your friends within the next 5 minutes, your belly button will unscrew and your butt will fall off. Really... it's true! Have I ever lied to you?

I think I have to shoot myself. I'm a Martha.

Heather....Ha! "Martha"...here too! Check-out the Oprah / Dr. Phil survey posted earlier this week for another laugh! Ro Now our true resident "Martha"... that would be M.S., has got to chime-in with additional tips. Come on, Molly. We know that you can teach Martha a thing or two! Hmmm... M.S. = M.S.

a little bit of both but more inclined to be a Maxine, especially when it comes to wine...

Good for you! Enjoy Life! Ro

Uh-oh...I have to agree with Heather. I am a closet Martha actually. Shhhh...don't tell. However I must say that I could teach Martha a thing or two about roses. Her advice is really not very good on that subject. See how high my nose can get in the air??? LOL Prissy Miss Molly
