You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it anyway! >Martha's Way: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes. >Maxine's Way: Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a year. Martha's Way: 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. >Maxine's Way: Go to the bakery! They'll even decorate it for you. >Martha's Way: If you accidentally oversalt 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's Way: If you oversalt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad. Please recite with me the real woman's motto: "I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes!" Martha's Way: Wrap celery in aluminum foit when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks. >Maxine's Way: Celery? Never heard of it! >Martha's Way: Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish. >Maxine's Way: The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg white over the crust, so I don't. >Martha's Way: Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away. >Maxine's Way: Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink! >Martha's Way: If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy. >Maxine's Way: Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you. >Martha's Way: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casserole and sauces. >Maxine's Way: Leftover wine???????? HEL-LO!!!!!

QUOTE: Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes I think that maybe this post will start page 100. We will see. [:p] Subject: In-Law A man, his wife, and mother-in-law went on vacation to the Holy Land. While they were there the mother-in-law passed away. The undertaker told them, "You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here in the Holy Land for $150.00." The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home. The undertaker asked, "Why?" Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your mother-in-law home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and spend only $150.00?" The man said, "A man died here 2000 years ago, he was buried here and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can't take that chance."
Have fun with your trains
