REAL WOMEN VS MARTHA STEWART

~Martha's Way: 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, eating it anyway.

~ Martha's Way: 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 and keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

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

~The Real Women's Way:

What leftover wine????

I have to admit I love her show. LOL!! If only I had a staff to prep everything for me. I fall under the real woman category too. Not such a bad place to be, I've got excellent company.
