Something a little lighter for today

*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.

*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."   

*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!"

*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!  

*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 !!!!!!!

Note from Jerry: The last one is my favorite!
