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 WOMEN - 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 WOMEN - 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 WOMEN - 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.
************************************************** *
LADIES - To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with
the potatoes.
REAL WOMEN - Buy boxed mashed potato mix and you don't have to worry
about the potatoes growing arms and legs.
************************************************** *
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 WOMEN - 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 WOMEN - Sara Lee frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg
whites over it, so I 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 WOMEN - Go ask the very HOT 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 WOMEN - Leftover wine????
