Delia's way & the real woman's way.

Delia's Way
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.

The Real Woman's Way
Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for God's
sake. You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it anyway.


Delia's Way
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the
potatoes.

The Real Woman's Way
Buy Smash and keep it in the cupboard for up to a year.


Delia's Way
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking tin, use a bit of
the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the
outside of the cake.

The Real Woman's Way
Tescos' sell cakes. They even do decorated versions.


Delia's Way
If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop
in a potato slice.

The Real Woman's Way
If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that's tough sh*t.
Please recite with me the Real Woman's motto: "I made it and you will
eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes."


Delia's Way
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and
it will keep for weeks.

The Real Woman's Way
It could keep forever. Who eats it?


Delia's Way
Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your
forehead. The throbbing will go away.

The Real Woman's Way
Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and drop it in 8
ounces of vodka. Drink the vodka. You might still have the headache,
but you wont give a sh*t?


Delia's Way
If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing
gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

The Real Woman's Way
Why do I have a man?

and finally the most important tip

Delia's Way
Freeze leftover wine into ice cubes for future use in casseroles
and sauces.

The Real Woman's Way
Leftover wine???? Hello!!!!!

Exactly. can you imagine in the shop...."hold it right there, put a mini marshmallow in the bottom before you fill that cone else I'll get drips"

Tash

I eat stacks of celery and actually went and wrapped what I have in the fridge in tinfoil. I make alot of homemade soup and celery is always one of my core ingredients so I followed the Delia tip. :oops:

*sobs* I'm just not a real woman!!

Tash

I'm guessing jolene cream is a hair remover? And thanks for putting Dolly Parton in my head now :lol:


Jolene, jolene, jolene, JOLENEEEEEEE!!!!.....gotta love Dolly! :D

Actually I think it bleaches the hair, discreetly of course so its not so obvious :mrgreen:


And there's nothing wrong with Dolly P :D

Yard brush? LMAO

As for Dolly, Dolly's great! I drive my hubby bonkers on my Dolly days.

One of my favourite films is called Rhinestone and it's Dolly with Sylvester Stallone where she has to teach him to sing, talk and walk, country style. It's hilarious.

Keeping in the food theme, they ate grits too. *giggles* See, I didn't go completely off topic hehehe

Tash

I'm guessing instant as I never actually saw her cook them :lol:
