Welcome! Hola! Guten Tag!
Here's my thought...


Did you ever wonder about all of the kitchen hints spewed by so called experts? I have. What do you really think of them as far as their true value is concerned? I came across this bit of information from a friend down in Tucson. Thanks, Dennis.

Who's opinion would be most helpful to you?


Martha vs Wise Woman


Martha: Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream cone to prevent ice cream drips.

Wise Woman: 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.

Wise Woman :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, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

Wise Woman: Go to the bakery! Hell, 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.'

Wise Woman: 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 and it will keep for weeks.

Wise Woman: Celery? Never heard of it!


Martha: Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

Wise Woman: Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink! All your pains go away!


Martha: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

Wise Woman: Leftover wine??????????? HELLO!!!!!!!
