"The Good Housekeeping Way"
The Good Housekeeping Way #1: Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of
a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.
The Real Women'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.
The Good Housekeeping Way #2: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple
in the bag with the potatoes.
The Real Women's Way: Buy Smash mashed potato mix; keep it in the pantry for
up to a year.
The Good Housekeeping Way #3: 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 Women's Way: The Cheese Cake Shop sells cakes. They even do
decorated versions.
The Good Housekeeping Way #4: If you accidentally over-salt a dish while
it's still cooking, drop in a potato slice.
The Real Women's Way: If you over-salt a dish while cooking, that's tough
darts. 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."
The Good Housekeeping Way #5: Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting in
the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
The Real Women's Way: I don't care if it could keep forever, I don't eat it!
The Good Housekeeping Way #6: Brush some beaten egg white over piecrust
before baking to yield beautiful glossy finish.
The Real Women's Way: Sara Lee frozen pie directions do not include brushing
any egg whites over the crust so I don't do that either.
The Good Housekeeping Way #7: Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in
half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
The Real Women's Way: Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and
drop it in 2 ounces of tequila. Drink the Tequila.
The Good Housekeeping Way #8: Have a problem opening jars? Try latex
dishwashing gloves. The non-slip grip makes it easy.
The Real Women's Way: Go ask mister tight-tush cutelegs, single neighbor to
do it for you.
The Good Housekeeping Way #9: Freeze leftover wine into ice cubes for future
use in casseroles and sauces.
The Real Women's Way: Leftover wine? What leftover wine?
