real women

Both Sunny & I are pretty switched on independant women. Not always financially so ... peaks and troughs through the years as jobs and men have come and gone.
Most definitely, however, we know how to look after ourselves, we can shop unassisted, cook fabulous meals and even the odd DIY project doesn't phase us.
I recieved an e mail today which I have had before and yes it probably has done the rounds a few times but it does make me giggle. It is tips & hints from Delia Smith. I think when you read it you will know which side Sunny & I are on .......

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. Whilst lying on the couch with your feet up watching a chick flick.

Delia's Way ~ To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
The Real Woman's Way ~ Buy small amounts of food at a time so they don't go off and it is a great excuse to spy cute men in the supermarket.

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. Please repeat after me this motto: "I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes."

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 WayCure 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 care?

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 ~ Isn't that what men are for?

Finally the most important tip

Delia's Way ~ Freeze leftover wine into ice cubes for future use in casseroles
The Real Woman's Way ~ left over wine???? Helllloooo ???????
