I've said it before and I'll say it again: Friends who can make you laugh are worth their weight in chocolate:

Real women vs Martha Stewart:

Martha Stewart: You accidentally over-salt a dish while its 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 after 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: 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 a headache but who gives a shit?
~*~*~*~

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 potatoes 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 will even decorate it for you.
~*~*~*~

Martha Stewart: Brush some beaten egg whites over piecrust dough before baking it 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: 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 that very cute guy next door to do it.
~*~*~*~

Martha Stewart: Don’t throw out that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cube for future use in casseroles and sauces.

Real Women: Leftover wine????
