Martha's Way #1: Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.
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 #2: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
Real Women's Way: Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix and keep it in
the pantry for up to a year.
Martha's Way #3: 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's Way: Go to the bakery. They'll even decorate it for
you.
Martha's Way #4: 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'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 #5: Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the
refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
Real Women's Way: Celery? Never heard of the stuff.
Martha's Way #6: Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before
baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
Real Women's Way: The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not
include brushing egg whites over the crust...
Martha's Way #7: Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half
and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
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 #9: 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's Way: Go ask the very cute neighbor to do it.
Martha's Way #10: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze
into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
Real Women's Way: Leftover wine??????
There's a longer version, but I don't know where it is right now.
