Martha's way #2:
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag
with the potatoes.
My way:
Buy 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.
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 damn bad. My motto: I made it and you will eat it
and I don't care how bad you think it tastes.

Martha's way #5:
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, it is because you are now BLIND!

Martha's way #6: (also known as the Karen rule)
Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice
cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
My way:
Leftover wine?  When the hell does THAT happen?

Martha's way #7:
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 neighbor with the cute butt to do it.

Martha's way #8:
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.
