Working Mum’s Cooking Guide
This arrived in my inbox today. For the people that have never heard of Margaret Foulton she’s written a lot of cookbooks in Australia, and possibly even had her own TV show (before my time)
Margaret Fulton’s way: Stuff miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice-cream drips.
The Working Mum’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 Mum’s:Buy a packet of DEB 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 Mum’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 Mum’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 Mum’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 Mum’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 Mum’s: Left over wine??? HELLO!!!????
Some really useful tips!
