FOR THE COOKS SOME GOOD INFO.
Martha & Maxine
1.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!
2.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.
3. 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! Hell, they'll even decorate it for you!
4.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!'
5. Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
Celery? Never heard of it!
6. 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.
7. 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!
8. Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
9..Leftover wine??????? HELLO!!!!!!
Lastly, if you don 't forward this to 1 of your friends within the next 5 minutes, your belly button will unscrew and your butt will fall off

Now seriously, does this work? Because I have tremendous problems with potatoes budding, even though I keep them in the coolest, dryest place I can.

Yeah, a bagful is far too many at one time for me, but if I buy them individually, it costs almost as much as the bag anyway.
I never heard of keeping potatoes in the fridge. I'll try the apple first. I love that idea - if it works.

do this: peel, cut up and boil the potatoes. mash them up. i add some onion here, minced tiny. break in one egg. breadcrumbs, if needed. form into patties.
freeze individually. when you're ready, spray some pam into a nonstick pan and 'fry' until they're browned. remember that they're already cooked. finish the heating in the microwave if you want to.
there. use the ones you want to early on, and then when you start getting antsy about sprouting, try this. no leftover, spoiled potatoes.

That sounds yummy, almost like latkes. It never occurred to me to mass produce latkes or mashed patties or whatever, but I love the idea, and then I can freeze them and reheat as desired.
And onions? Oh yeah, definitely. I add them to almost everything anyway.
