I was just thinking about the message below earlier today, but couldn't remember it. Tonight I checked my e-mail and there it was, sent from a friend. Talk about serendipity. On a humorous note:
Subject: Martha Stewart vs. Real Women
True............true..............
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
If you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that's
too 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
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'll 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's 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
Leftover wine??????
