Ladies: If a lady accidentally over-salts a dish while it's still cooking, she drops in a peeled potato and it absorbs 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.") ********** 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? ********** 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. ********** 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. ********** 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 outside of the cake. Real Woman: Go to the bakery - they'll even decorate it for you. ********** 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. ********** Ladies: If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing 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.... Ladies: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces. Real Woman: Leftover wine??
