But enolabloodygay just sent me this and I had to share.

For all you (NOT) superwomen out there, or Handy household tips for the modern woman. (Delia refers to one of our Cooking Gurus, Delia Smith)

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.

The Real Woman's Way: Tesco's 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 sh*t. Please recite with me the Real Woman's motto: 'I made it, you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes.'

Delia's Way: Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

The Real Woman's Way: It could keep forever. Who eats it?

Delia's Way: Brush some beaten egg white over piecrust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.

The Real Woman's Way: Sainsbury's frozen pie directions do not include brushing any egg white over the crust so I don't do that.

Delia's Way Always peel off a little part of the Chicken skin to start with and hold it tightly with a paper towel. The skin latches on to the paper towel.

The Real Woman's Way: You can buy chicken without skin, you know.

Delia's Way: Muffins will slide right out of tin pans if the hot pan is first placed on a wet towel.

The Real Woman's Way: If you buy them, they slide straight out of the paper case into your mouth.

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 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 entertaining, buy boxes of wine, as it will keep for six weeks.

The Real Woman's Way: I've seen that "it keeps for six weeks" on those boxes. It isn't true. It doesn't keep for six hours.

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: And I have a man because?

And finally the most important tip

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

The Real Woman's Way: Leftover wine???? Hello!!!!!
