Martha Stewart vs. Real Women
************************************************** ***********
Martha Stewart Says: 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 Say: 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."

****************

Martha Stewart: 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, etc., chill and drink. You might still have the headache, but who the **** cares?

*****************

Martha Stewart: 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, eating it anyway.

******************

Martha Stewart: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

Real Women: Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

*******************

Martha Stewart: 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 Women: Go to the bakery. They will even decorate it for you.

********************

Martha Stewart: Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.

Real Women: The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust, so I just don't do it.

*********************

Martha Stewart: 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 cute neighbor to do it.

**********************

And finally...the most important tip:

Martha Stewart: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

Real Women: Left-over wine??? Are you crazy? Not at my house.
