The Working Woman's way



Margaret Fulton's way:

Stuff miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice-cream drips.

The Working Woman's way:

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!!

Margaret Fulton's:

To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

Working Woman's:

Buy a packet of DEB Instant Mashed Potato and keep it in the cupboard for up to a year.

Margaret Fulton's:

When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking tin, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

Working Woman's:

Woolworths sell cakes. They even do decorated versions.

Margaret Fulton's:

If you accidentally over salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a potato slice.

Working Woman's:

If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, tough! Recite the working Mum's motto: 'I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes!'

Margaret Fulton's:

Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting it in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

Working Woman's:

It could keep forever. Who eats it??

Margaret Fulton's:

Cure for headaches. Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

Working Woman's:

Cure for headaches. Take a lime, cut it in half and drop it in a double vodka. Drink the vodka. You might still have the headache, but you won't care!

AND FINALLY, THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP

Margaret Fulton's:

Freeze leftover wine into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

Working Woman's:

Left over wine??? HELLOOOO!!!????

Love them!!

I've got A sixteenth edition of a CWA cookbook, with some 'classics',
e.g., "Sure cure for Quinsy, make a slice of toast, have a cup of heated vinegar to boiling point. Pour over toast and place around the throat, wrapping it well with a piece of oilskin to keep the steam in. In the most serious stage the patient is relieved at once".
"Remedy for Neuritis, sixpennyworth of iodine of potassium, 6d. sarsaparilla. Dissolve in a cup of boiling water; dilute in one pint of water. Take a tablespoon twice a day after meals and one at bedtime."
If the malardy doesn't get you, the remedy probably would!
An advertisement from the same book, "The Best Recipe in the Book, for a Bright and Happy Home, ALWAYS look your Best in a "TANIWHA" Apron"!!!
Enjoy, cheers
