Martha's way #1: Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar
cone to prevent ice cream drips.
The Real Women'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 anyway.
Martha's way #2: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag
with the potatoes.
The Real Women's Way: Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix. Keep in the
pantry for up to a year.
Martha's way #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.
The Real Women's Way: Go to the bakery. They'll even decorate it for you.
Martha's way #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."
The Real Women's Way:
If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that's just too 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.
Martha's way #5: Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the
refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
The Real Women's Way: Celery? Never heard of the stuff.
Martha's way #6: Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before
baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
The Real Women's Way: The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not
include brushing egg whites over the crust so I just don't do it.
Martha's way #7: Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub
it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
The Real Women's Way: Take a lime, mix it with tequila, etc., chill
and drink. You might still have the headache, but who cares?
Martha's way #8: If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex
dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars
easy.
The Real Women's Way: Go ask the very cute neighbor to do it.
And finally the most important tip....
Martha's way #10: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into
ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
The Real Women's Way: Leftover wine??????
:lol
