Martha Stewart
My Twin
Ok, this is one of those emails I've gotten a few times and I still think it's a bit of a chuckle.
Funnily enough though, I personally think Martha Stewart's ideas aren't too bad, but I am probably more inclined to see the old duck as my twin!

Martha Stewart
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream cone to prevent ice cream drips
My Twin
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 Stewart
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
My Twin
Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix.
Keeps in the pantry for up to a year.
Martha Stewart
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 Twin
Go to the bakery!
Hell, they'll even decorate it for you!
Martha Stewart
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 Twin
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 Stewart
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
Celery?
Never heard of it!
Martha Stewart
Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
My Twin
The Aunt Bessie frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust, so I don't.
Martha Stewart
Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
My Twin
Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink! All your pains go away!
Martha Stewart
If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish washing gloves.
They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
My Twin
Go ask that very cute neighbour if he can open it for you.
Martha Stewart
Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
My Twin
Leftover Wine??????
