MARTHA STEWART 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 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 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 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?? So much Fabric, so little time.

Hey, Yannick, Absolutely right - who said there was any left over wine??? My MIL No. 1 taught me that ‘it’s one for the pot and two for the cook’ – her dearly!!!

Minxie - have you been at the wine again? It's nice to know I'm a 'real woman' - never had any complaints so far! When at college and out of work I house kept for my flatmates who were working. One of them made the mistake of telling me that he liked his collars starched....you should have seen his pyjamas after I had finished with them, you had to crack them open. That larned him. 
love and kisses, Jan
