Matthew
Thank you everybody
, today was back to the good old english summertime - it poured down all day long. Luckily the few things we didnt do yesterday were almost all indoors so we did that then headed for an outlet mall, did a little retail birthday therapy
then drove home. Scary weather on the motorway - couldnt see 20 foot in front of you
- the rain was bouncing so hard off the windscreen the wipers couldnt cope.

Are you a 'Martha' (Stewart) or a 'Mother Goose' ?
Martha: Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream cone to prevent ice cream drips.
MG: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.
MG: 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.
MG: Go to the bakery! Heck, 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.'
MG: 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.
MG: Celery? Never heard of it!
_____________________
Martha:Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
MG: The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust, so I don't.
_________________
Martha: Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
MG: Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink! All your pains go away!
_________________
Martha:If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish washing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
MG: Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.

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

Hi Heather! Welcome home!
Can you post a link to your blog again? I really enjoyed what I had time to read but since I can't access the DIS at work any longer I lose the link all the time and then can't find it later when I go looking for it again.
Since I use my work computer so much at home I can't bookmark it.
thanks!
Hello dear you'll be glad to know it's done nothing but tinkle down since we got home so much so were already looking for another jolly later this year...
ps...I even tried turning down a job next week....Moral of tale NEVER MARRY A LADY WITH BLOODY BIG EARS......Hence now i'll be gone all week Maybe she's after some quality time with her fella...
That's what she's thinking.
Heather, I have loved your blog. Thanks for all the pics too.
Chris, welcome home. Can't wait til you post all those pictures.
Jen, Thomas is too cute. Can you believe our babies are in school? It's crazy! Does he love it so far?
