Housekeeping • Please put cell phones on stun. • Restrooms are down the hall on the right. • 5 minute break at 11:00 a.m. • Please hold questions about your computer until the end.

Are you a Martha or a Maxine? • Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar 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!

Are you a Martha or a Maxine? • To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes. Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix, keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

Are you a Martha or a Maxine? • 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.

Are you a Martha or a Maxine? • 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." 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!"

Are you a Martha or a Maxine? • 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.
