Are you a Martha or a Muriel?

My sister-in-law sent me this (thanks Lil). I hope it makes you laugh as much as it did me.




*Martha's Way*


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






*Muriel'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!

To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
Buy SMASH potato mix, keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

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.
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 - you did your bit.

Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
Celery? Never heard of it!

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 gorgeous neighbour if he can open it for you! Its a fantastic way to break the ice before getting to know him better!

Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
Leftover wine??????????? HELLOooooooooooooo!!!





As usual, if you don't forward this to 1 of your friends within the next 5 minutes, your belly button will fall off. Really... it's true! Have I ever lied to you?
