• Are you a Martha or a Maxine?

  I just read this on my friend Donna's blog.  I would have just sent you all over to her blog to read it but it is a private blog. 
  
  No, I am not talking about Mary or Martha.  I am talking about these non biblical ladies.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  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 it 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 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
  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 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
  If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish washing 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 !!!!!!!

  I think I have a little bit of both of them in me.  I will let you guess which ones I am like Martha and which ones I am like Maxine.
