Martha's Way ... and Mine

Martha's way #1:
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.

The Real Women's Way:
Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake. Anyway, you're probably eating it while lying on the couch with your feet up.

------------------------------------------------------

Martha's way #2:
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

The Real Women's Way:
Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

------------------------------------------------------

Martha's way #3:
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.

The Real Women's Way:
Go to the bakery. They'll even decorate it for you.

------------------------------------------------------

Martha's way #4:
If you accidentally over salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt in an instant.

The Real Women's Way:
If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too darn bad. Please recite with me The Real Women's motto: I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes!

------------------------------------------------------

Martha's way #5:
Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.

The Real Women's Way:
The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust so I just don't do it.

------------------------------------------------------

Martha's way #6:
Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

The Real Women's Way:
Take a lime, mix it with tequila, etc., chill and drink. You might still have the headache, but who cares?

------------------------------------------------------

Martha's way #7:
Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze it into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

The Real Women's Way:
What leftover wine??

I love this!!!     What leftover wine??  Hahahaha.
                                                                 FUNNY! [QUOTE=Ninilchicken]Did you see her daughter on Oprah? Martha wants a grandchild so bad, she's paying for the daughter's fertility treatments. I think she was in her early 40's and divorced. Duh? Some things are better not put off so long. [/QUOTE]


Didn't see that one. Oprah I like,  Martha not so much.

LOL I agree. (with the way to do things not like Martha)Say what you want about Martha - I still think she got a raw deal just because she was a woman.  And I love the way she kept doing her thing even in prison - showing her fellow inmates how to improve the vending machine delicacies, doing crafts with them - great stuff!!!  They should have made a reality show out of her prison stint - I might actually have watched it!
