Thanks, Daisy and Billie. Saundra was easy to spotlight, except, with all she has done, I didn't know where to to start, or stop! LOL!

Most of you have probably seen this before, it has been around for awhile but, with Martha Stewart in the news recently, I thought I would bring it out. I am proud to say that ALL the women I know are REAL women!


REAL WOMEN vs. MARTHA STEWART

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: 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: Wrap celery in aluminum foil when
putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

Real Women: Celery? Never heard of the stuff.

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: 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: 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??????
