For all of you real women out there . . .. 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 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." (Who has a peeled potato lying around anyway?) 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, ice, etc., and drink. You might still have the headache, but at this point, 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, AND most likely don't have any of those stupid mini-marshmallows in your pantry anyway, right? 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 a long, long time. Preservatives give the mix a shelf life of 5,000 years. 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 Did you know that you can get a huge cake at Costco for eight bucks, and 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. Martha Stewart Purchase a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy. Real Women Go ask that 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 And when has there ever been any leftover wine??????
