| Helpful Hints | What Maxine Recommends |
| Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream cone to prevent ice cream drips | 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 Hungry Jack mashed potato mix. Keeps 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.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!’ |
| Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks. | Celery? What’s celery? |
| Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish. | The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust, so I don’t. |
| 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! All your pains go away! |
| If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish washing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy. |
Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you. |
| Don’t throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces. | Leftover Wine?????? HELLO!!!!!!! |
I love Maxine’s reccomendations better. More real, and exactly what I think.
LOL! I like the way Maxine thinks.
i love maxine!
Common sense with Maxine any day over what’s her name. I can’t stand what’s her name, refuse to buy anything she’s put her name on…and that was before she became a criminal. Now she’s back to making money hand over fist, irritating.
Love it! Great post!
