Ladies V's Real Women!

[#2 due May 8 2010]

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 accidentally over-salt a dish while you're cooking,
that's to 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 wil 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 at 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're probably sitting your ass 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 mess on the inside of
the cake.

REAL Women: Go to the bakery - they'll even decorate the damn thing
for you.

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

REAL Women: Sara Lee frozen pie directions don't include brushing egg
whites, so why 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 it into ice
cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

REAL Women: Leftover wine?!?!?!? Get real!
