I got a cute and funny forward today. I'm sure it's gone around but if you haven't seen it enjoy.
I'm more of a Martha than a Maxine but I definitely have some Maxine traits!
Are you Martha or Maxine?
Martha's Way:
Stuff a marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream 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: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
Maxine: Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix. Keeps in the pantry for up to a year.
Martha: When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, us a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.
Maxine: Go to the bakery. They'll even decorate it for you.
Martha: 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: 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, you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes!'
Martha: Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator. It will keep for weeks.
Maxine: Celery? Never heard of it!
Martha: Brush some beaten egg white over a pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
Maxine: The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust, so I don't.
Martha: Cure for headaches - take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
Maxine: Take the lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink. 'All' your pains go away.
Martha: 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: Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.
Martha: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze it into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
Maxine: Leftover wine? HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I am a full on Maxine.
And seriously are their women out there who keep a ready peeled potato next to the stove in just in case they over salt anything? Wow. They must have WAY too much free time on their hand.
Cheers - made my chuckle.
Must say I am a little of both. Very funny!
yes I am a bit on the Maxine side!
