Martha's Way:
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a
sugar cone to prevent icecream drips.
>>My Way:
Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the
cone, for Pete's sake, you're 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.
>>My Way:
Buy Hungry Jack Mash Potato Mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a
year.

Martha's Way:
Spray your Tupperware with nonstick cooking
spray before pouring in tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.
>>My Way:
Feed your garbage disposal and there won't be any leftovers.

Martha's Way:
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking
pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead & there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.
>>My Way:
Go to the bakery. They'll even decorate it for you.

Martha's Way:
If you accidentally over-salt a dish, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt.
>>My Way:
If you over-salt a dish while you're cooking that's too darn bad. My
motto is: I made it, you will eat it, I don't care how bad it tastes!

Martha's Way:
To determine whether an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool, salted water. It sinks, it's fresh, but if it rises to the surface, throw it away.
>>My Way:
Eat, cook or use the egg anyway. If you feel bad later, you will know
it wasn't fresh.

Martha's Way:
To cure a headache, take a lime, cut it in half
and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
>>My Way:
Martha, dear, the only reason this works is because you can't rub a
lime on your forehead without getting lime juice in your eye, and then
the problem isn't the headache anymore; it is because you are now blind.

Martha's Way:
Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for
future use in casseroles and sauces.
>>My Way:
What leftover wine?

Martha's Way:
Potatoes will take food stains off your fingers. Just slice and rub
raw potatoes on the stains and rinse with water.
>>My Way:
Mashed potatoes will now be replacing the
antibacterial soap in the handy dispenser next to my sink.

Martha's Way:
Place a slice of apple in hardened brown sugar to soften it.
>>My Way:
Brown sugar is supposed to be "soft"?

Martha's Way:
Now look what you can do with Alka-Seltzer: To clean a toilet, drop two tablets in, wait 20 min, brush and flush. To remove a stain from a vase or glass cruet, fill with water and drop in two tablets. To polish jewelry, drop two Alka-Seltzer tabs into a glass of water and immerse jewelry for two minutes. To clean a thermos bottle, fill with water and drop in four tabs and let sit for an hour or more (if necessary).
>>My Way: (a real time saver) Put your jewelry, vases and thermos in the toilet. Add a bottle of Alka-Seltzer tabs and you have solved a whole bunch of problems at once. For the really bold......drop in your dentures too! If you have any other household questions,
call me!!
