Got this forwarded to me to day, some of it made me chuckle.

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.

Tesco's sell cakes. They even do decorated versions.

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

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 don't care how bad it tastes."

Delia's Way

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

The Real Woman's Way

It could keep forever. Who eats it?

Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield beautiful glossy finish.

Sainsbury's frozen pie directions do not include brushing any egg white over the crust.

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 who gives 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.
