1. Ladies - 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."
Real Woman - If you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too
damn bad. Please recite with me, The Real Women's motto: "I made it and
you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes."
2. Ladies - Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on
your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
Real Woman - Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink. You
might still have the headache, but who cares?
3. Ladies - Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to
prevent ice cream drips.
Real Woman - 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.
4. Ladies - To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the
potatoes.
Real Woman - Buy boxed mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for
up to a year.
5. Ladies - 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 inside
of the cake.
Real Woman - Go to the bakery -- they'll even decorate it for you.
6. Ladies - Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield
a beautiful glossy finish.
Real Woman - Sara Lee frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg
whites over the crust, so I just don't do it.
7. Ladies - If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish washing
gloves. They give a non slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
Real Woman - Go ask the very cute neighbor guy to do it.
And finally the most important tip...
8. Ladies - Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for
future use in casseroles and sauces.
Real Woman - Leftover wine??
NOTE: A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...but, a true friend
will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"
