Joke for busy mums: Delia's Way versus the real womans way

This was sent this morning and it made me laugh so I though I'd share it. (The best bit is the last line).

For all you real women........

Delia's Way #1 Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a cone to
prevent ice cream drips.
The Real Women's Way #1 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 #2 To keep potatoes from sprouting, place an apple in the bag
with the potatoes.
The Real Women's Way #2 Buy Smash mashed potato mix and keep it in the
larder for up to a year.

Delia's 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 #3 Tesco's sell cakes. They even do decorated
versions.

Delia's Way #4 If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still
cooking, drop in a potato slice.
The Real Women's Way #4 If you over salt a dish while you are cooking,
that's tough sh*t. 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."

Delia's Way #5 Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting in the
refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
The Real Women's Way #5 It could keep forever. I don't care - I don't eat
it.

Delia's Way #6 Brush some beaten egg white over piecrust before baking to
give a beautiful glossy finish.
The Real Women's Way #6 Sainsbury's frozen pie directions do not include
brushing any egg whites over the crust so don't bother.

Delia's Way #7 Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it
on your temples. The throbbing will go away.
The Real Women's Way #7 Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and
drop it in large measure of tequila. Drink the tequila. You might still
have the headache, but who gives a sh*t?

Delia's Way #8 If you have a problem opening jars, try using rubber gloves.
They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

The Real Women's Way #8 Go ask mister tight arse, cutelegs, single
neighbour to do it for you.

Delia's Way #9 Freeze leftover wine into ice cubes for future use in
casseroles and sauces.

The Real Women's Way #9 Leftover wine????!!!

Have seen it before but it's still as funny the secone time.

I particularly like no. 7 - the tequila one. LOL

Number 9 definately rings true with me I am ashamed to say!!

Lindy · 04/04/2003 16:36

I'm absolutely with you on number 9 - I'll happily open a bottle if a recipe calls for a couple of splashes of wine - there's never a problem with what to do with the rest!!

CP · 04/04/2003 18:37

FANTASTIC!!!

GeorginaA · 04/04/2003 21:23

Another vote for number 9, ta for posting

susanmt · 05/04/2003 11:47

Tortington · 05/04/2003 21:02

myalias · 05/04/2003 21:17
