"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine... (Proverbs 17:22)."
"Martha Stewart's Way or MY Way!?!"
Martha's way : 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, you are
probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it anyway.
Martha's way : Use a meat baster to "squeeze" your pancake batter onto
the
hot griddle and you'll get perfectly shaped pancakes every time.
My way: Buy the precooked kind you nuke in the microwave for 30
seconds.The
hard part is getting them out of the little plastic bag.
Martha's way: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag
with
the potatoes.
My way: Buy a package of instant mashed potato flakes and keep it in the
pantry for as long as you like.
Martha's way: To prevent egg shells from cracking, add a pinch of salt
to
the water before hard boiling.
My way: Who cares if they crack, aren't you going to take the shells off
anyway?
Martha's way : To get the most juice out of fresh lemons, bring them to
room
temperature and roll them under your palm against the kitchen counter
before
squeezing.
My way: Buy a pint bottle of lemon juice & keep it in the refrigerator.
It's ready to use anytime.
Martha's way: To easily remove burnt-on food from your skillet, simply
add a
drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan,and
bring
to a boil on stovetop.
My way: Microwave & paper plates.
Martha's way : Spray your Tupperware with nonstick cooking spray before
pouring in tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.
My way: Feed your dog and there won't be any leftovers.
Martha's way #8: 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 at Wal Mart. They'll even decorate it for you.
Martha's way: 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 bad.
My
motto: I made it and you can eat it. Don't bite the hand that feeds
you!
Martha's way: Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the
refrigerator
and it will keep for weeks.
My way: Celery? Who eats that stuff.
Martha's way: Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking
to
yield a beautiful glossy finish.
My way: The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg
whites over the crust and so I don't do it.
Martha's way : Place a slice of apple in hardened brown sugar to soften
it.
My Way: Is Brown Sugar supposed to be soft?
Martha's way : When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to
help
bring out the corn's natural sweetness.
My Way: The only kind of corn I buy comes in a can.
Martha's way: Potatoes will take food stains off your fingers. Just
slice
and rub raw potato on the stains and rinse with water.
My way: Mashed potatoes will now be replacing the anti-bacterial soap in
the
handy dispenser next to my sink.
Martha's way: Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer.
Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes,
brush
and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous
china.
Clean a vase. To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or
cruet,
fill with water and drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets.
Polish jewelry. Drop two Alka-Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and
immerse the jewelry for two minutes. Clean a thermos bottle. Fill the
bottle
with water, drop in four Alka-Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour
(or
longer, if necessary).
My way: Put your jewelry, vases, and thermos in the toilet. Add some
Alka-Seltzer and you have solved a whole bunch of problems at once.
