>                  Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar
> cone to prevent     
>                  ice cream drips.

> 
>                  My 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.

> 
>                  To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag
> with the
>                  potatoes. 
> 
> 
>                  My way: 
> 
>                  Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix and keep it in the

>                  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. 
> 
> 
>                  My 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 for an instant "fix me
> up." 
> 
> 
>                  My way: 
> 
>                  If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too
> darn bad. 
> 
> 
>                  My motto: 
> 
>                  I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it
> tastes.

> 
>                  Martha's way #5: 
> 
>                  Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the
> refrigerator and it will
>                  keep for weeks. 
> 
> 
>                  My way: 
> 
>                  Celery?  Never heard of the stuff.

> 
>                  Martha's way #6: 
> 
>                  Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking
> to yield a
>                  beautiful glossy finish. 
> 
> 
>                  My way: 
> 
>                  The Mrs. Smith's frozen pie directions do not include
> brushing egg whites
>                  over the crust so I don't do it.

>                  Martha's way #7: 
> 
>                  Cure for headaches:  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 because you are now
> BLIND!

>                  Martha's way #8: 
> 
>                  Don't throw out all that leftover wine.  Freeze into ice
> cubes for future
>                  use in casseroles and sauces.

>                  Martha's way #9: 
> 
>                  If you have a problem opening jars:  Try using latex
> dishwashing gloves. 
>                  They give a non slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

> 
>                  My way: 
> 
>                  Go ask the very cute neighbor guy next door to do it.

>                  Martha's way #10: 
> 
>                  Potatoes will take food stains off your fingers.  Just
> slice and rub raw
>                  potato on the stains and rinse.

>                  My way: 
> 
>                  Mashed potatoes will now be replacing the antibacterial
> soap in the handy
>                  dispenser next to my sink.
