LADIES VS. REAL WOMEN (which one are you?)

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 over-salt a dish while you're 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." 

LADIES - 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 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 on your butt 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 white mess on the side of the cake. 

REAL WOMEN - Go to the bakery - they'll even decorate it for you. 

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

REAL WOMEN - Sara Lee frozen freakin' pie directions do not include brushing egg whites, so I don't 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 into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces. 

REAL WOMEN - Leftover wine??
